TODAY’S TRADEMARK – HAMBURGER HAMLET

Hamburger Hamlet or “The Hamlet”, was a chain of restaurants based in Los Angeles, a point of reference for Angelenos and for the creative industries that were located in the city. Opened in 1950, it grew to a chain of 24 locations, including Chicago and the Washington, D.C. metro areas  before they were all either sold or closed down.

The restaurants served hamburgers topped with what were considered exotic combinations of toppings, such as a bacon cheeseburger with Russian dressing. A famed side dish were the “little fried onions”. Tomato relish was provided at each table. They also served omelettes and Mexican dishes. In 1968 the Lewises opened upscale restaurant Kate Mantilini. In 1987 Koo Koo Roo bought 14 Hamlet locations for $33 million
