Plan Check Kitchen LA

For burgers with a twist, it doesn’t get more unique than Plan Check Kitchen and Bar with its Asian-American fusion food. Kimchi mustard and candy strip beets make for unusual toppings, but the secret ingredient is the restaurant’s trademarked Ketchup Leather™ that has been designed as a tomato condiment slice that keeps your burger bun from going soggy. Menus vary between the three locations but burgers to watch include the Blueprint Burger, with smoked blue cheese, pig ‘candy’ and fried onions topped with roasted garlic steak sauce and garden cress. For the Ketchup Leather™ experience opt either for the PCB (Plan Check Burger) or Chef’s Favourite, which could become your favourite too. For those wondering about the inspiration behind the restaurant’s name and industrial décor, all you have to do is take a closer look at the local history. The original Plan Check restaurant sits across from the Building and Safety Department where architects and engineers would once go to have their building plans checked.
