"Noparvar, who creates social media videos under his handle @how.kev.eats, can change the fortune of a restaurant overnight with a minute-long video. Since posting positive reviews of Easy Street Burgers in Studio City and South Philly Experience on West Pico Boulevard, both restaurants have drawn steady crowds." - Cathy Chaplin
"Your Order: Double Jalapeño Monster ($12.50) This spot in Studio City is best known for getting a rare 10/10 rating from food influencer Keith Lee, the same guy who thought ordering a salmon chopped cheese from a NYC bodega was a good idea (no comment). Suffice it to say, we weren’t as impressed. Though these burgers aren’t terrible, the main issue is the chewy, spiderweb-y, overcooked patties, which arrive less “smashed” and more “maimed in an industrial accident.” They’re also served open-faced, which means having to fold the squishy too-sweet bun in half like a poorly made taco. The saving grace here is topping options like fresh sliced jalapenos, but considering the upcharge for those (even grilled onions cost an extra $1) and the long wait times even during off-hours, we prefer other smashburger options a short drive away." - garrett snyder, sylvio martins, nikko duren
"While Easy Street isn’t new to Los Angeles, its burgers are having a moment after a visit and stellar review from TikToker Keith Lee. The burger at Easy Street is a classic smash burger with crispy edges that extend past the bun, melted cheese, and grilled onions." - Rebecca Roland
"Over the weekend, Keith Lee’s 15 million TikTok followers found themselves looking at a review of Easy Street Burger in Studio City by Cardi B. The pair sampled burgers from the restaurant, which Lee initially reviewed in 2023." - Mona Holmes
