   I was just informed via Twitter (by @metalero) that they opened a new location called Indulge Cafe located at 5101 W. Pico Blvd. LA 90019. Has anybody tried the new place? I’ll try to get over there ASAP.

   There was Indulge Cafe, but that has already closed as well due to a disagreement between the owners. I miss Mo Better! It was hard driving by everyday once they closed just seeing the empty lot never mind the walgreens. But now I’m back in NYC trying all the burger places back east again!

   @Rob: I wish I had gotten your comment earlier. I tried to eat at Indulge Cafe last Thursday. I kept driving by what should have been the address, but there was nothing there. It could have been worse because I just ended up at Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles.

   I had the distinct pleasure of having their burgers on numerous occasions in the 90s. Lines wrapped around the place all hours of the day.

   The burgers were absolutely amazing, perhaps the best I have ever tasted, and the fries were as good as the burgers. Anyone “in the know” realized that this was the best burger in town.

   For a short time, they opened another location on Melrose, which was also good, but the venture was short-lived. (I don’t think they lasted more than a year or two) And then the original closed.

   Today, within the course of five minutes, I was elated to find that they had reopened under the “Indulge Cafe” name, then dejected to find a moment later that this location had closed as well. What a tease! I hope this isn’t the last we ever hear of the mythical Mo’ Better Meatty Meat Burger. T’would be a travesty.

   I’m an LA OG who loved going here in tha ’80’s and some of the ’90’s. This place gave Fatburger a run for it’s money!!! I use to walk from Stanley Ave. to this place as soon as I got my allowance. I’d heard many stories of why,what happened to this hamburger mecca,but never could really verify any of it. Needless to say by the time I moved in 1995,it was never really the same in my opinion. I think about Meatty meat burger all the time.

   The last time I eat there it was just called Meaty Meats (1983/1984) it was the best the town. I saw the location on Melrose in the nineties but could not bring myself to go in. It just did not feel like the original. Sorry to hear they are gone. ;-(
