Ringside doesn't need much explanation, but precious few are familiar with the pleasures found at Humdinger. A tiny little burger joint on Barbur Blvd, Humdinger has the largest burger bar menu I've ever seen. Fish and chips, dogs, tuna melts, homemade chili, and beef patties that range from 1/4 pound to a whole goddamn pound! I always order the Deluxe, a 1/4 pound patty with tons of pickles, fresh lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup; more a meal than a sandwich. The Deluxe, of course, comes with a free cup of chili, which is some of the best around. Big chunks of steak, beef, cheese, onions. I may have bad breath afterwards, but who cares? Splurge on a shake, buy the kid a cone, grab Grampy a chili dog, but whatever you do, don't pass Humdinger on the way home. KATIE SHIMER
