HAMBURGER HAMLET REVIVES!
Hamburger Hamlet fans have a reason
to rejoice. Sherman Oaks is the last
remaining location of the iconic California
restaurant chain, but the historic brand is
about to experience a renaissance with the
purchase of the company by Killer Shrimp
owner, Kevin Michaels and partner Brett
Doherty. Intending to introduce the historic

Happy New Year!
We are looking forward to bringing
you the best coverage of local news,
politics and culture in 2015.
This month our Taste columnist
MaryAnn Skweres set out to do a
restaurant review on the last of the
Hamburger Hamlets, in Sherman
Oaks, and discovered that the rich
history of the restaurant and its place
in the local culture merited a feature
story, so she’s pulling double duty as
a feature writer and a restaurant
reviewer.
New to these pages, Anne Artley
submitted a story about aspiring
Olympic swimmer Derek Toomey who
also works as a swim coach at the Van
Nuys/Sherman Oaks City Pool.
Columnist Gerald Silver is outraged,
as are we, that the City Council would
spend our money hiring outside
lawyers to defend the city from a
lawsuit by local residents over
entitlements granted to the developers
of the massive Il Villagio Toscano
Project in Sherman Oaks on
Sepulveda and Camarillo.
All the best to our readers and
advertisers in the New Year.

Anarchy
Happy New Year! I hope you and your
families had a happy, healthy holiday
season and are as ready as I am to begin
working toward an even better, more
prosperous 2015.
As we look ahead to all the things we
hope to accomplish this year, I think it
is instructive to look back and take stock
of the great work done to make last year
a banner year in the San Fernando
Valley.
From parks to trees to better public
transportation, 2014 was a time of
progress in the Valley. Here are just a
few of the many, many things that I
worked on in Council District 2 last year.
Each year, I set out to improve public
access to green space in the city. It was
a good year for parks, trees and our
neighborhoods. Last year, I was happy
to unveil the city’s 50th universally
accessible playground at Studio City’s
Beenman Park, while also securing free
parking at Wilacre Park to alleviate
neighborhood congestion.
With some dogged residents on
Cantura Street, I helped save a massive
90-year-old tree canopy that provides
shade and beauty to one of our oldest,
most interesting neighborhoods. I also
joined neighborhood leaders to plant
more than 120 new trees in Valley
Village’s busiest areas. Throughout the
district, we planted 230 new tries and
trimmed 2,785 that needed it.
Community leaders worked with my
office to beautify and put a 9,000 foot
public mural on NoHo’s Whitsett Slope
and we cleaned up the world’s longest
mural—which happens to be in Council
District 2—Valley Glen’s Great Wall of
Los Angeles. In fact, with our #NoTag
CD2 campaign, we cleaned 1,000,160
square feet of graffiti from 28,527
locations. We also removed close to 990
1150 tons of bulky items from
neighborhood sidewalks and streets.
Preserving our most precious resources
also means preserving the icons of our
past. Last year, I joined my fellow Metro
Board Members to unveil the newly
restored Lankershim Depot, a symbol
of our rich rail history and a marker for
the continued need for transit expansion.
Transit was another high point for my
district and the Valley in general. I
started the public conversation about
converting the Orange Line to light rail
to increase capacity, urged connecting
our Valley to the San Gabriel Valley with
high capacity rail, added 200 badlyneeded parking spaces at the NoHo Red
Line station, and opened the ValleyWestside Express, a high-speed bus lane
over the Sepulveda Pass that is shaving
40 minutes off of daily commutes.
Our city’s financial outlook made great
strides this year. As chair of the City
Council’s Budget and Finance
Committee, I’m proud that we passed
It was right there in vivid color on my
TV. Fox News Mega star Bill O’ Reilly
said it , even had graphics over his
shoulder proclaiming “Anarchy in the
NYPD.”
He was referring of course to the
ongoing bitter controversy between
NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio, Police
Commissioner Bill Bratton, and the rank
and file NYPD officers. Anarchy might
be an exaggeration, though O’ Reilly
would probably deny that, but his point
is well taken.
My point is that here in Southern
California, we should be grateful that we
are not approaching this level of
anarchy, though we certainly are dealing
with our share of controversies and
tension. We have Chief Charlie Beck’s
LAPD facing increasing criticism from
many in the very communities they have
worked so hard to establish trust with,
and a Sheriff’s department that has seen
several of its people convicted in federal
court and sentenced to prison over jail
abuse, and is now trying to start over
again with a new man at the top, former
LAPD Deputy Chief Jim McDonnell.
As for New York, things are on the
verge of out of control. Many cops there
feel disrespected by their Mayor in the
wake of his comments following the
Michael Brown and the Eric Garner
decisions to not prosecute the officers
in those widely publicized and widely
criticized deaths. Cops in NYC feel
that de Blasio’s comments, which
essentially said that he and his African
American wife have had to “train” their
bi- racial son Dante how to behave in
encounters with law enforcement, how
he and many other families have to fear
the very people who are supposed to
protect them because of a “history
hanging over the heads” of African
American people.
He may have been speaking from the
heart, but his comments were not well
received, some even claiming that his
words contributed to, even created the
climate that led to the unspeakable
ambush killing of NYPD officers Rafael
Ramos and Wenjian Liu on December
20th. Patrick Lynch, head of the
Patrolman’s Benevolent Association,
said “ There’s blood on many hands
…those that incited violence on the
streets under the guise of protest that
tried to tear down what NYPD officers
did every day. …it cannot be
tolerated…that blood on the hands starts
at City Hall in the office of the Mayor.
Those who allowed this to happen will
be held accountable.” Strong words.
Hard to imagine the head of the LAPD’s
union, the Police Protective League,
taking such a vehement stance. Then,
this past Tuesdays’ shooting and
wounding of two more NYPD officers
in Brooklyn while responding to a crime
just added fuel to the fire. On top of all
this, we continue to hear that NYC cops
there are using their “discretion” to
essentially ignore minor crimes,
meaning arrests stats have plummeted.
Imagine the reaction if the headline of
the LA Times here was “Cops Ignoring
Crime.” Unlikely that would happen,
which is good for us, as Beck seems to
have the trust and admiration and respect
of his troops. Our old friend Bill
Bratton, Beck’s predecessor may not.
He’s in a most uncomfortable position,
criticizing his people for making
“political” statements in a time when
they should be “grieving,” while trying
to not appear to be pandering to his boss
the Mayor after appearances together.
Then we have de Blasio himself now
trying to rise above the fray and make
amends with the men and women in blue
while at the same time remaining
unwilling to back off or apologize for
his previous statements. Again, in Los
Angeles, it’s not an accident that Mayor
Eric Garcetti and LAPD Chief Charlie
Beck have no such problems. They’ve
known each other and worked together
for years. They have publicly stood
together in their support of good cops
and their desire to identify and prosecute
the tiny percentage of bad ones.
However, there are still major
challenges ahead and hurdles to
overcome when it comes to public trust
and the overused but vaguely defined
word transparency. If you follow the
news, you know we are still awaiting
seemingly endless investigations of the

Notes From CD4
Happy New Year, everyone!
As the holidays have passed, our family
gatherings and parties have unfortunately
generated more trash from decorations
and food waste. Now that these gettogethers are over, think about how much
Los Angeles does to help keep our City
clean. My experience during my many
years in public service has shown me that
the full participation of a wise, caring,
well-informed public contributes to the
best neighborhoods.
I appreciate all those in the community
who continue to clean and make sure they
do not let their waste fall into our storm
drains. The Bureau of Sanitation does an
impeccable job in operating and
maintaining one of the world’s largest
wastewater collection and treatment
systems. According to the Bureau, over
6,500 miles of sewers serve more than
four million residential and business
customers in Los Angeles and 29
contracting cities and agencies. These
sewers are connected to the City’s four
wastewater and water reclamation plants
that process an average of 550 million
gallons of wastewater each day of the
year. These sewers and treatment systems
are upgraded constantly, but citizens must
also do their part to help keep our City
clean. Get details about the wastewater
system by exploring the LA Sewers web
site www.lasewers.org. If you see a dire
need for cleaning storm drains in my
district, be sure to call my office at (213)
485-3337, and report it. My beautification
team is an amazing crew who is ready to
clean storm drains when needed.

The View from CD5
By Tom
LaBonge
Two passings in late December tore at
the hearts of the 5th Council District that
I represent, but also at hearts all over the
world. Over the course of their long lives,
Rabbi Harold Schulweis, of Valley Beth
Shalom in Encino, and Rabbi Leonard
Beerman, founding rabbi of Leo Baeck
Temple, enriched us in countless
ways. They were quite different men, but
each one was intellectually brilliant and
wonderfully spirited. Each was
considered a rabbi’s rabbi who
profoundly mentored other rabbis, but
who was also dedicated to working with
all people, no matter who they are or
where they live, in order to build a better
and more just world.
Rabbi Schulweis passed away on
December 18th at the age of 89. I am so
thankful to have had the honor and
privilege of partnering with him, and with
a wonderful organization that he cofounded, Jewish World Watch, which is
the world’s largest grassroots antigenocide organization. This was back
when we were crafting, lobbying for and
passing the state of California’s
divestiture motion to call world attention
to, and help end, the famine, rapes and
genocide occurring in Darfur. Rabbi
Schulweis sought to save lives, but also
to help heal the world. He often said, “Do
not stand idly by.”
In 1999, he helped launch a new
Catholic-Jewish conversation. He was
always a leader in calling for inclusion,
whether it be in encompassing the LGBT
community, respecting and welcoming
intermarried families, embracing people
with special needs, or finding anyone with
a spiritual search.
When I asked the City Council to
adjourn in his memory, my esteemed
colleague, Councilmember Paul
Krekorian, spoke movingly of how much
Rabbi Schulweis meant to the city’s
Armenian community. The rabbi was an
inspiration and friend to all. A great
thinker and dynamic activist, he helped
to bring a new era of vibrancy to Valley
Beth Shalom, including due to his
remarkable sermons, the music and after
the service, the dancing. That temple’s
congregation today consists of 1800
families and around 10,000 people. He
also launched many crucial campaigns to
help people in need.
In 1985, it was through the creation of
Mazon, an organization that represented
the “Jewish Response to Hunger.’ The
next year, he founded the Jewish
Foundation for the Righteous, which
helped many hundreds of“righteous
gentiles” in more than twenty countries
around the world – these were non-Jews
who, during the Holocaust, had risked
their own lives to save Jews. In 2004,
Schulweis co-founded Jewish World
Watch, which has been celebrated for its
life-saving efforts to end genocide. He
also influenced modern Judaism by
Now that Christmas has passed, I also
would like to encourage citizens to
recycle their Christmas trees and not
cause a hazard to our beautiful city! Last
year, the CD4 Beautification Team and
CD4 staff collected and recycled a grand
total of 1,475 Christmas Trees! Every
holiday season, our team works
aggressively to pick up all trees and will
continue to do so this year when a tree is
spotted! In addition to my beautification
team, the LA Bureau of Sanitation
has
CURBSIDE
collection
for Christmas trees. Help me to
spread awareness on the high wind
weather
warnings
and
the
“Christmas Tree Recycling Program”
from the LA Bureau of Sanitation. Using
your
green
bin
to
recycle Christmas tree? Remove all
ornaments, decorations, tinsels and stand
from the tree, cut the tree in pieces to fit
into the green bin and place
the tree pieces inside the green bin for
regular pick-up on collection day. If
your Christmas tree is too big to cut and
place inside the green waste bin, simply
place the tree next to your green waste
bin
on
collection
day.
Collected Christmas trees will be
recycled into compost and mulch. For
more information, visit the city website
at www.lacity.org for collection day
information.

Reasons why Buyers should Get off the Fence…..
Some buyers are still sitting on the fence
waiting for more inventory to come on the
market or waiting for prices to go down.
Below are a few reasons to get off the
fence and get yourself into your dream
house.
1) Mortgages are still a bargain.
You can get a 30-year fixed loan for
around 4%. Going back to when I bought
my first house in the early 80’s my interest
rate was over 11%. So there are huge
savings today when it comes to mortgage
rates. When inflation picks up, then
interest rates will go up. We may never
see mortgage rates again this low in your
lifetime.
2) You might still be able to get a good
deal.
Work with an agent that is willing to fight
hard for you. A lot of the buyers that were
sitting on the fence for years have already
purchased a home, right now there is less
competition. Make sure that your agent
is willing to play hardball on your behalf.
This is not a buyer’s market or a seller’s
market. It is a flat market. .
3) You will save on taxes.
Mortgage interest can be deducted from
your income. This will reduce your tax
liability. Also real estate
taxes are deductible.
Right now based on
current tax law, when you sell your home
that you have lived in 2 of the last 5 years
gains on your primary residence are taxfree, up to $250,000 for an individual and
up to $500,000 for a couple.
4) You will be the King of your own
castle.
Once you own your own place you can
do whatever you want to do. You will
not need the permission of your landlord
to get a pet. You can paint the house
whatever color you want to. It is your
place to enjoy the way you want to live.
5) You might be able to get a better
home.
With interest rates as low as they are
right now in some neighborhoods your
mortgage payments will be less than what
it would cost you if you rented. Plus
there are more homes on the market for
sale versus how many homes are in the
same area that are for lease.
6) Making a mortgage payment is kind
of like a forced savings.
You get to write off a big part of the
By Paul Koretz
inspiring a new model of
lay-clergy leadership,
emphasizing egalitarian
fellowship and teaching
others to be para-rabbis,
empowered to visit the sick, help the
needy and provide guidance. In all kinds
of ways, he made a huge difference for
the better.
Born in Pennsylvania in 1921, Rabbi
Leonard Beerman passed away this past
December 24th of heart failure at the age
of 93, but his heart never failed us. He
had been a U.S. Marine in the 2nd World
War. Having gone to Jerusalem to study
for the rabbinate, he became a member
of the famed Jewish self-defense,
underground organization, the Haganah,
in the 1948 War of Independence. He
would emerge as one of our great
champions for social justice and
pacifism. He called for an end to the
nuclear arms race, opposed the war in
Vietnam as well as other, later wars, and
worked steadfastly with Muslims and
Christians to seek peace in the Middle
East.
Rabbi Beerman was an implacable foe
to racism, intolerance and discrimination,
including as far back as the 1940s, when,
as a rabbinical student in Cincinnati, he
joined with other students in actions
aimed at ending the segregated practices
of that city’s restaurants. He moved to
Los Angeles in 1949, and it is here that
he founded Leo Baeck Temple, which is
now located near the Getty Center, though
it first met in an Episcopal church on the
Westside.
He marched many times for civil rights
for African Americans, and advocated for
economic justice for farm workers and
hotel workers. The Jewish Journal quoted
Rabbi Beerman as saying, “I had left
rabbinical school…. With a conviction
that a humane society was just around the
corner, and that the wrongs and injustices
of history would be corrected, or could
be corrected, and, drawing inspiration
from the great ethical ideas of the Jewish
tradition, that we Jews could be
instruments in the creation of such a
world.” The Jewish Journal also quotes
him saying, “to experience the awareness
of our moral failure is, paradoxically, to
experience the dignity of our own
humanity.” What a lesson he thereby
taught, that we have much to gain when
we don’t just dwell on life’s successes,
but have a searing consciousness of
ourselves and our humanity when we are
not at our finest or most achieving.
Truly, in less than one week we lost two
world famous rabbis who were also great
men, and who constantly helped people
in need while inspiring and uniting
families and communities across Los
Angeles. Our City’s condolences go to
their loving families, friends and
congregations.

Outside Counsel to Oppose ITV Suit
Historically Los Angeles has used its
own City Attorneys to defend the City in
land use, CEQA and Brown Act litigation.
The frequency of these types of lawsuits
has increased because the City has failed
to adhere to the requirements of CEQA
and the Brown Act. This failure has
strained the capacity of the City Attorneys
to provide CEQA advice and defend
CEQA litigation impacting the City’s own
public projects.
The City Council has authorized a threeyear contract to hire a panel of four
outside land Use/CEQA Counsels to
defend the City in land use, CEQA and
Brown Act litigation. It is indefensible for
the City to spend precious taxpayer
dollars hiring outside counsel to defend
itself against residents. Land use
entitlement approvals that are granted by
the City include a condition requiring the
developer to defend and indemnify the
City in the event of Real Party litigation.
The change of practice to exercise its
rights to the defense and indemnification
from developers has not been tested. The
City could incur massive legal expenses
hoping it will be reimbursed by
developers. There is no guarantee that all
or part of the expenses incurred will
actually be reimbursed.
On August 28, 2013 over the strong
community objections, the Los Angeles
City Council voted unanimously to
approve the 325 residential unit Il
Villaggio Toscano (IVT) project at
Sepulveda Blvd. and Camarillo. The IVT

developer received
entitlements to build 325
multi-family residential units
and 52,000 square feet of
commercial with 1,206 parking spaces.
Height of the buildings would be 82 feet.
The gross floor area for the project would
be 582,359 feet. The project adds 5,800
new daily car trips.
Attorney Robert Silverstein was hired by
the Sherman Oaks Residents For a Safe
Environment to protect the public interest.
(Sherman Oaks Residents for a Safe
Environment v City BS145096LASC).
The lawsuit was filed against the City
because residents in good faith believe
that the entitlements granted by the City
were invalid on land use, environmental
approvals and Brown Act grounds.
Residents rightly objected to the traffic,
noise, congestion, infrastructure damage
and pollution that the massive 8-story, 325
unit apartment buildings would bring. The
EIR was devoid of meaningful mitigation
measures and contained many flawed
conclusions. The lengthy document
obfuscated traffic, congestion and
infrastructure problems while going on at
length about tangential matters ignoring
mitigation measures that are required by
CEQA.
The EIR reached faulty conclusions
claiming impacts were reduced to “less
than insignificant” when in reality the

As we gear up for the second semester
in what has been a challenging academic
year for Los Angeles Unified, I’d like to
take a moment to reflect on the progress
that occurred in Board District 3 and across
the district in 2014.
Los Angeles Unified, along with every
other school district in California,
transitioned to the Local Control Funding
Formula. Passed by the Legislature in June
2013, LCFF created a transparent and
more equitable way of funding our public
schools. With stakeholder input, including
recommendations from a districtwide
Parent Advisory Committee, the LAUSD
board approved a $6.6 billion budget that
allowed us to hire more teachers, nurses,
library aides, and custodians; reduce class
size; and enhance tutoring and parent
engagement.
Though we still have quite a way to go
before we are able to adequately fund all
of the needs of our district, this budget was
a step in the right direction.
I am also incredibly proud of the academic
gains made by our students. Thanks to the
hard work of school staff, parents and the
kids themselves, the district’s graduation
rate soared to 77 percent, a 12-point leap
from the previous year.
As a result of my resolution to expand
the district’s computer science offerings,
LAUSD will be partnering with the nonprofit code.org to teach all students
computer coding skills, beginning in
kindergarten.
I have continued to support efforts to get
7
technology into the hands of
our students. In the last year
alone, my office funded
devices for computer labs at
a dozen campuses, including Colfax
Elementary, and Porter and Lawrence
Middle schools. We also funded a new
robotics program at Mulholland Middle
School.
A 2013 resolution I sponsored to make
it easier for parents to volunteer was
implemented in 2014, when satellite
fingerprinting sites were established.
Parents can go to two locations in the
Valley for the mandatory test instead of
having to drive downtown to LAUSD
headquarters. We are most successful
when our parents can be active
participants at the school site, and I am
very proud to have helped make this
easier.
Last year did see several challenges, but
I was a leader in getting LAUSD back on
the right track. I called for an audit of
MiSiS after massive problems during the
launch of the computerized student
information system. I am committed to
transparency, so I also wrote a resolution
calling for a task force to review the
district’s records retention and destruction
policy. The task force will present its
findings to the Board this month.
I am grateful to all of our district
employees for their contributions to the
success of our schools, and am confident
that commitment and effort will continue
into 2015 and beyond.

Our dinner at Hamburger Hamlet was
an evening of “tastes.” The hospitable
staff brought us so many dishes that we
went home with several take-away bags
because we simply couldn’t eat so much
food in one seating. The advantage – I
get to nibble on the leftovers as a write!
The restaurant is known for its signature
hamburgers, but with a large and varied
menu, it was hard to choose, so we relied
upon our server Amanda, manager Patrick
(Below) and service/training manager
Dustin to suggest popular items. They all
proved to have impeccable “taste.”
The Hamlet uses freshly squeezed juices
and handpicked liquors to craft their
specialty cocktails that include classics
such as Moscow Mules made with Beluga
Vodka, ginger syrup, fresh lime juice and
soda water; Manhattans of Knob Creek
HONORING THE TRADITION OF GREAT COMFORT FOOD
Rye, Carpano Antica Vermouth and
bitters; and Daiquiris containing Selvarey
Rum, simple syrup and fresh lime juice.
The wine and beer lists include a variety
of selections from around the world.
The all-around favorite appetizer was
succulent Popcorn Shrimp, (pictured)
served with lemon, zesty cocktail sauce
and creamy garlic aioli. No leftover
shrimp for inspiration today. We also tried
crispy Potato Skins, stuffed with whipped
potatoes, cheddar cheese, bacon, sour
cream and scallions; Hamlet Gardens
Famous Guacamole & Salsa, homemade
and served with freshly fried tortilla chips
and salsa; and the trademarked Zucchini
Zircles of hand cut zucchini, golden fried
and served with ranch dressing and my
favorite, sweet and spicy apricot sauce,
for dipping. Without a doubt, these
selections are comfort foods.
Although my dinner-mates grew up with
HOT Recipes with Anna Terra
Chicken Cacciatore
Growing up on the ranch, this classis dish was a
favorite of my family! We always had our own
fresh poultry, vegtables and herbs. This classic and
delicious dish will never go out of style! Even
though life was a bit slower paced back then, our
lives today have become faster and with less time,
this simple and traditional dish can made in less
than an hour.
By simmering chicken pieces in a hearty mixture
of onion, tomato sauce flavored with capers, olives
and fresh herbs, it is delicious served over pasta.
Chicken cacciatore is an Italian dish of chicken
braised in a tomato-based sauce and often includes
wild mushrooms. It is frequently referred to as
hunter style• as the word cacciatore meanshaunt
• in Italian. Why hunter style? One story is that if
a hunter came home empty-handed, his wife would
kill a chicken for the meal instead. I suggest going
to the grocery store and making it a lot easier...lol!!
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts
4 chicken thighs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt, (or to taste)
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper,
(or to taste)
¾ cup all purpose flour, for dusting or
dredging
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 large red bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
3/4 cup white wine, preferably dry
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes with
juice
3/4 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons drained capers or 20
green pitted olives
1 1/2 teaspoons dried oregano leaves
www.annaterra.com
1 ½ teaspoons dried basil or
1/4 cup coarsely chopped
fresh basil leaves or
Parmesan or Romano cheese
grated, optional
1 pound Linguini (optional)
Directions
Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon
of each salt and pepper. Dredge or dust the
chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly.
In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil over a
medium-high flame. Add the chicken pieces
to the pan and saute just until brown, about 5
minutes per side. If all the chicken does not
fit in the pan, saute it in 2 batches. Transfer
the chicken to a plate and set aside. Add the
bell pepper, onion and garlic to the same pan
and saute over medium heat until the onion
is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt
and pepper. Add the wine and simmer until
reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the
tomatoes with their juice, broth, capers or
green olives and oregano. Return the chicken
pieces to the pan and turn them to coat in the
sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue
simmering over medium-low heat until the
chicken is just cooked through, about 30
minutes for the breast pieces, and 20 minutes
for the thighs.
Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a platter.
If necessary, boil the sauce until it thickens
slightly, about 3 minutes. Spoon off any
excess fat from atop the sauce. Spoon the
sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the
basil and serve.
Delicious on top of your favorite pasta!
Sprinkle with Parmesan or Romano cheese.
Buon Appetito!
Hamburger Hamlet, I had not, so I knew
hat as a soup-lover, I had to try the Lobster
Bisque. This Hamlet original, served
with either garlic bread or corn bread,
featured a creamy, but not too rich medley
of crab and lobster favored with a hint of
sherry. Now I know why they are
celebrated for this soup. Definitely an add
to my must-come-back-and-eat-this-again
list.
Of course we sampled classic burgers
that made the eatery famous. The Marilyn
(as in Monroe) was actually named after
Marilyn Lewis who co-founded the
Hamlet with her husband, Harry. The
thick, juicy patty was served on a brioche
bun with avocado, tomato and Monterey
Jack cheese. Cooked to perfection,

The Hamlet Patty Melt came open-faced
on grilled rye, topped with melted
American cheese, grilled onions and
tomatoes. This is not a typical diner patty
melt, but a gourmet 7 oz. burger made of
high quality beef from the best markets
in the Midwest.
The Slow Braised Short Rib Burger is
a meat-lovers dream. The 7 oz. burger was
topped with slow braised Angus beef,
cheddar cheese, bread & butter pickles,
house made BBQ sauce, and little fried
onions. Our dinner-mate, Steve, shared a
bit with me, but polished off the rest of
that baby! I may have to return to taste
that one again.
Speaking of little fried onions; all the
burgers are served with a choice of
shoestring fries, steak fries, house salad,
cole slaw or those tasty onions. The thinly
sliced rings were separated, fried and
served with barbeque sauce. Who needed
sauce? I love onion rings. With a light,
spiced breading, these were the best
onions rings, ever.
The Hamlet offers eight salads. A meal
in itself, the California Market Salad
arrived as a molded tower in the center
of the plate. Crisp with a delicately sweet
roasted cashew vinaigrette, it consisted
of romaine lettuce, arugula, candied
pecans, cashews, avocado, red onion, goat
cheese and fresh-roasted chicken.
By the time we got to the entrees, we were

Desserts anyone? Amanda there has

choco-holic, the Hamlet bakes their own
Ultimate Hot Fudge Layer Cake, dripping
with hot fudge, slathered with fresh
whipped cream, sprinkled with chopped
nuts and topped with a strawberry, then
served with vanilla Häagen-Dazs ice

Nineteen Seconds = Two Laps
By Anne Artley
Nineteen seconds. For most of us,
that’s not a lot of time to accomplish
much, maybe fill up a glass of water,
walk up the stairs, or get a leash for the
dog.
But for aspiring Olympian Derek
Toomey, that’s enough time to swim two
laps of the pool.
Toomey, who just finished his college
swimming career at the University of
Minnesota, moved to Los Angeles this
fall to train for the 2016 Olympic Trials.
He swims with the Trojan Club at the
University of Southern California
(USC) under coach Dave Salo.
He is aiming to compete in the 50
freestyle-an event in which he holds the
school record and became the first
swimmer in Big Ten conference history
to finish in less than 19 seconds.
Toomey also swam the race in the 2012
Olympic trials, and ended up tied for
36th place.
When he is not pushing himself in the
pool, he is inspiring others to do the
same as a swim coach for Southern
California Aquatics (SCAQ), a Masters
swim team that holds practices at eight
locations, including Van Nuys Sherman
Oaks City Pool.
The program holds weekly stroke
clinics and ocean workouts as
preparation for triathlons, ocean
competitions and pool meets. And
practices can fit many work schedules
as they take place morning, noon and
night.
The average SCAQ coach has as
much, or more, swimming experience
as Toomey: five are Olympians and
almost all had college All-American
times. But the casual swimmer should
not be intimidated; SCAQ has a
workout for every level, from novice to
Olympian. So even if your 50 free
clocks in at more like a minute and 19
seconds, there’s a lane open for you at
Southern California Aquatics.

As the son of Killer Shrimp founder,
rocker Lee Michaels, Kevin grew up in
the kitchen. For over 25-years, Killer
Shrimp’s signature shrimp has been
cooked in a spicy sauce made from a
closely-guarded, secret family recipe that
Lee first made at home for his hungry kids
who would return from the beach and
request the amazing meal, which in 80’s
surfer lingo they referred to as “Killer”
shrimp. The name stuck. Before long, Lee
and Kevin were offering friends and
family samples of the dish. The demand
spread and Lee began hosting what may
have been the first “Pop Up” restaurant in
his Venice beach Loft/Studio, leading to
the successful launch of Killer Shrimp in
1988.
The history of the hamburger as a staple
of American cuisine is clouded by time
and controversy, but the popularity of
ground beef served between two slices of
bread, generally rose to prominence after
World War I when consumers-on-the-go
wanted fast and cheap food. The first
modern hamburger chain, White Castle,
came into being in the 1920’s, followed
in 1940 by McDonalds, which focused on
the mass production of their simplified
menu.
In 1950, at a time when roadside diners,
burger stands and drive-ins were the main
source for the popular sandwich, former
contract actor, Harry, and his wife,
Marilyn, opened the first hamburger
“restaurant,” the original Hamburger
Hamlet on Sunset Strip near Hollywood’s
Whiskey a Go Go. It had a casual
environment where you could get great
comfort food and also sip cocktails at the
bar. The eatery quickly became a
landmark, frequented by celebrities –
Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball,
Mel Brooks – and locals alike.
A big part of Los Angeles culture, the
Hamlet shaped many Angelino
childhoods. The chain expanded to
restaurants in Beverly Hills, Sherman
Oaks and Westwood, and as far away as
Virginia, Chicago and Maryland.
With their experience in the culinary
arena, Kevin and Brett are the perfect duo
to lead a foodie revival at the Hamburger
Hamlet. Celebrating the history of the
Hamlet, they have returned to the original
menus and artwork. Photos on the
establishment’s walls portray the colorful
history and famous faces that helped make
the Hamlet a burger-lovers’ icon.
Embracing the Hamlet’s motto: Known
for Simply Marvelous Food and Drink,
the new owners have brought back many
of the menu items that fans fell in love
with. Some of the dishes that changed
with subsequent owners of the restaurant
have reverted to the original recipes
developed by Marilyn.
To return the Hamlet to its hay day, the
updated menu includes many favorites
such as: #11 Our Greatest Hamburger
made with American cheese, lettuce,
tomato, onions, pickles, bacon and 1000
island dressing; The Guacamole Burger
topped with pico de gallo, lettuce and
Monterey Jack; The Hamlet Patty Melt,
served open-faced on grilled rye with
melted American cheese, grilled onions
and tomatoes; and Prison Chili with
everything on it – sour cream, shredded
lettuce, chopped onion and cheddar
cheese. Also on the menu are The Greatest
Milk Shakes and Malts, created with
Haagen Dazs ice cream.
In keeping with contemporary palettes,
the team has added items such as a Slow
Braised Short Rib Burger, a Vegetarian
Burger and Spicy Mac N’ Cheese Balls
coated in panko bread crumbs and served
with chipotle ketchup. The extensive
menu is sure to provide something to
please all diners.
The Hamlet uses freshly squeezed juices
and handpicked liquors to craft their
specialty cocktails that include classics
such as Moscow Mules made with Beluga
Vodka, ginger syrup, fresh lime juice and
soda water; Manhattans of Knob Creek
Rye, Carpano Antica Vermouth and
bitters; and Daiquiris containing Selvarey
Rum, simple syrup and fresh lime juice.
The wine and beer lists include a variety
of selections from around the world.
The Sherman Oaks location is set for an
extensive remodel in 2015. The re-born
Hamburger Hamlet in Sherman Oaks will
serve as a launching pad for an expansion
back into their original markets around
the Los Angeles area as well as new
coastal cities in Southern California.
Fans of the Hamburger Hamlet can take

Top DVDs of 2014
Frozen
This was the number one rental and
sell through DvD of 2014 and it’s easy
to see why. The score is grand. The
sound, the texture, the harmony, the
melody is in a class of its own. Startling
and stunning animation, beautifully
envisioned, emotionally powerful and
relevant, with gorgeous visuals,
stunning backdrops and intricacies
Frozen is animation never seen before.
The environments, the costumes, the
character movements among other
things make this film a gigantic step
forward. IMO this is the Disney classic
of the decade.
The Grand Budapest Hotel
The Grand Budapest Hotel recounts
the adventures of this wholly
imaginative, assured fable of a
legendary concierge Gustave H. (Ralph
Fiennes), his protégé Zero (Tony
Revolori) and the murder of a countess.
The story involves the theft and
recovery of a priceless Renaissance
painting and the battle for an enormous
family fortune, all against the backdrop of a suddenly and dramatically
changing Continent. “Budapest” is
pretty much an old-fashioned screwball
comedy garishly dressed. It’s goofy,
eccentric and often downright silly.
There are many scenes that would have
worked in a “Three Stooges” movie. If
a movie can be elegantly zany, The
Grand Budapest Hotel may be Wes
Anderson’s most finely-crafted film to
date, and is one that all should be able
to appreciate
The Hobbit: The Desolation of
Smaug
Note for Tolkien fans. An Unexpected
Journey strayed a bit too far from the
book, here, The Desolation of Smaug
looks like the script writers didn’t even
know there was a book. The movie
writers try hard to change the storywhen
ever they can.
Martin Freeman’s acting is top notch
again, but sadly he hardly gets any
screen time. He only shines in his scene
with Smaug the gold guardian Dragon.
Smaug as an animaltronic puppet
character is awesome, no complaints
there.
Nevertheless, a movie like this should
be seen, no matter how good or bad it
is. But in the end, most problems of the
movie seem to stem from the decision
to turn the cute Hobbit tale into three
epic movies that have to live up to the
Lord of the Rings hype. It doesn’t work.
Gravity
It was one of the best Man vs Space
movies of 2014. However, as a former
physics geek, I can tell you the orbits
are all wrong for some of the events to
He has great screen presence in the film.
His wife Kelly Reilly, doesn’t have
Kinnear’s charisma yet, she definitely
holds her own. But newbie Connor
Corum is the star. He has the hardest
job, to be believable yet mystical. With
those big innocent eyes and dead on line
delivery...watch for him, this kid is
going places. Scenes with him
describing the Christian Heaven are
wrenching in all the poigniat ways.
Having Thomas Haden Church and
Margo Martindale as co-stars adds to
the film’s presence Martindale
especially impresses.
Heaven is a genuinely sweet movie. It
makes people feel uplifted and isn’t that
why we watch movies?
Guardians of the Galaxy
One of the more quirky of the Marvel
Comic Kingdom’s series Guardians is
now a movie. And what a movie!
Peter Quill, (Chris Pratt) or Star Lord
as he likes to call himself, is a quickwitted Earthman in the far reaches of
galaxy, who has stolen an artifact that
everyone evil seems to want. By
accident he stumbles upon four other
characters, Gamora the assassin, (Zoe
Saldana) Drax the Destroyer (Dave
Bautista) Rocket the enhanced VFX
raccoon as voiced by Bradley Cooper
and Groot the humanoid tree, (perfect
type casting for Vin Diesel). The five
of them form an unlikely team: The
Guardians of the Galaxy to protect this
artifact. The characters are well
presented, their emotional core is strong
and back stories engaging. They’re
interesting and easy to like.
The film doesn’t take itself very
even remotely take place. So if you
know anything about physics, suspend
disbelief for the moment. It at least
stayed largely true to the no sounds in
space thing, and provides some good
lessons about linear and angular
momentum.
Sandra Bullock plays a doctor whose
survival in the cold of space is this film’s
theme. Clooney gets very little screen
time but Bullock is there throughout the
whole film. She’s alone and audience
gets to experience her shifting emotions
as she comes to grips with her
unavoidable death. The film takes the
armchair viewer to space and it feels
claustrophobic to be there.
The film is a visual masterpiece.
Alfonso Cuarón has outdone himself
with this film, it’s definitely a must see
for sci-fi lovers and Bullock fans.
Lone Survivor
This film was executive produced by
Wahlberg, who also stars as the “Lone
Survivor”, and you can see in his
performance and from the credits that
roll at the end of the film, that he was
very invested in this story. While it is a
sort of “classic” Hollywood soldier
story, the film has many surprises. It is
incredibly effective at showing us, using
dramatic events, the stress and trauma
a modern soldier fighting in the war
against terror.
While the long combat sequences are
very riveting they are hard to watch.
There are several sequences that cause
a strong emotional reaction There is a
point in the film where we see a photo
of the soldier who survived (Wahlberg’s
character) with the Afghanistan man
who gave him “hospitality” and saved
his life at a great cost to his village. Here
is an incredible emergence of human
dignity, beauty, that lifts the film
upwards, that changes the whole
narrative of the film from soldiers
captured inside a desperate fight to stay
alive, toward the greatest attributes of
human society; that of respect and
refuge, of personal honor and dignity
even in the face of the most terrible
events.
This is a very violent film. The
violence is showed inside of an honest
context, but viewers should be prepared
for a highly emotional and violent film
experience.
Heaven is for Real
Christian theme films are gradually
getting better and better. They are also
doing better in the mainstream market
and you know what? Good for them
There is a genre for everything so why
not Christian films? This is a well made
film with an excellent cast.
Randall Wallace is a very interesting
talent for director of this film. He
doesn’t have a ton of credits to his name
in any capacity but look at his directing
work. Every film he has directed is well
liked with strong stories and great
charactors. He obviously chooses his
projects very carefully. His style is
unique and gives this film the style that
it needs to be outstanding. Greg
Kinnear’s father role is perfect for this.
15
seriously, which was refreshing. The
film is entertaining, non-stop
adventure. Scenery and worlds are
spectacular, visual effects top notch.
There were great expectations before
the film was made, and they have been
met. Guardians of the Galaxy is one of
the best Marvel films to date, and really
good sci-fi too.
The Lego Movie
Chris Pratt’s voice started the year out
as everyman Emmet in the 3D animated
film The Lego Movie When I first heard
of the this project I thought to myself,
"Are you kidding me?!" Another movie
based on a franchise of toys aimed
towards families willing to cough up the
cash just to shut their kids up.
This is no Hasbro reject! The Lego
Movie is not only the must see DVD ,
I'm going to go ahead and call it, the
best family-oriented film for all ages of
2014. Better than Frozen.
The story is timeless but works.
Vitruvius (Morgan Freeman) a wizard
and "master builder", while protecting
a mystery weapon is blinded by Lord
Business (Will Ferrell), the caped and
big booted villain. But before Vitruvius
is kicked into the abyss by Business and
his robotic minions, he foretells of a
hero, the "special" who will put an end
to his dastardly plans. This of course is
Emmet. Now it's up to Emmet and some
newfound Lego comic book and sport
heros to fulfill the prophecy. Will
Arnett’s “Batman” is especially
noteworthy. See it. It’s that good.

The City Attorney is now hiring an army
of outside lawyers to fight the residents
who believe that the land use and
environmental entitlements were granted
improperly. The solution to this dilemma
is for the City to scrupulously abide by
State law, stop granting faulty entitlements
and avoid engaging in fruitless litigation
against residents. The City should not
spend another dime ganging up with
outside law firms to defend environmental
and land use entitlements that were
approved improperly.

Deadline for Individual Coverage Approaching on 1/15/2015 for Effective Date
to Start on 02/01/2015 and Great New Options for Small Business Owners
By Elizabeth Kate
The New Year is upon us and with 2015
come new deadlines and new changes to
the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also
known as ObamaCare. If it seems like
things are changing every month, you’re
right! “The only permanent thing right
now in the world of health care is change
itself,” laughs Naama O. Pozniak of A+
Insurance Service. All the more reason
to make sure you are allied with an
insurance broker who stays ahead of the
game and is on top of each change as it is
passed down.
Naama O. Pozniak and her team of
professionals at A+ Insurance Service
have been working tirelessly throughout
the past year to guide and assist clients
through the often mind-boggling

for over 25 years and can easily guide you
to the very best policy in terms of cost

effective start date of 2/01/2015. It is also
