Very soon everyone in San Diego can have the very same heartburn that Angelino’s have been having for years! Actually, I like Tommy’s, but the Missus always gets heartburn from the chili. Saw this while waiting for a light on Clairemont Mesa Blvd, and took a picture, and immediately called the Missus! We had just been talking about heartburn (I’ve only had it once in my life!).
This is for Jack B. and Beth’s Hubby, who both can now get heartburn like they’ve never had it before! Lot’s of Love!!! Burp….

Ha! Luckily I keep a bottle of Zantac in my car. I’ll be ready for a Tommy burger, tamale and fries.
Hey Jack – I hope it’s the long-acting kind! BTW, it should be chili-cheese fries – don’t let it get cold, they’ll be a layer of fat on the top…… π
Believe it or not I like Tommy’s once in a while – it’s just that I know alot of people who can’t tolerate it…
LOL!
You are such a tease Kirk π
Ah, Tommy’s! I went to college in Santa Barbara, and sometimes my roommates and I would get a wild hair late at night, and make drives down to LA (two hours each way) for a Tommy burger and chili cheese fries. My stomach cringes just remembering it, but boy were they good.
Hi Clare – Moi, a tease??? No way! ;o)
Hi Alan – You know, I never thought you’d be a “Tommy’s” kind of guy. Teaches me to stop stereotyping. 2 hours for a Tommy Burger, huh? Well I’d probably do the same for a W&M Burger. I had a friend who came and visited when we lived in LA, we had a Tommy’s 3 blocks away – we’d be having Tommy’s for “breakfast” every morning! Talk about stomach cringing!
Lol, Kirk! I am going to have to keep this information away from my husband! π You are funny. Have a great weekend!
I’ve only tried Tommy’s once (Fountain Valley location) and that was five years ago. It was good but what an artery clotter!
I think i’m ready to try another burger and everyone seems to be talking about it nowadays! Maybe I’ll eat it once in a while like you (but perhaps it’ll have to be 1 every 5 years!).
[oh yes, the pain i go through to get angelina’s lips! hahaha]
Hi Beth – I just thought it was quite a coincidence, that you mentioned greasy burger just the day I took this picture. I’m sure Hubby will have to try it at least once, right?
Hi Christine – I used to have a Tommy burger every now and then when I lived in LA, but I really don’t crave it. I look forward to a burger (& lips) report!
Tommys…one of the very first food memories that I have. Every time I’m in the LA area I have to go to the original Rampart location. I think the food tastes better there. Can’t wait til they open in Vegas!! Can’t beat that combo gambling and chili burgers.
Hi Kyle – Tommy’s in Vegas – a double heartburn special, I assume! Tommy’s is coming to Henderson in 2006 BTW! And I’m sure the food is probably better at the original location.
Let me remember when did I first have Tommys…it was probably 4 years ago. So delicious. Can’t resist whenever I go towards the location.
