In the heart of Hollywood, a pair of lifelong friends have turned a simple love for good food and bold ideas into one of LA’s most talked-about burger spots. Chris N Eddy’s isn’t just another restaurant, it’s a story of hustle, friendship, and flavor that captures the city’s energy in every bite.
Chris and Eddy first met as teenagers on a basketball court when they were just sixteen. The court was their battleground, but it quickly became the foundation of a friendship that would change both of their lives. Over the years, they stayed close, sharing ideas, laughs, and late-night conversations about what they wanted out of life. When the pandemic brought the world to a halt, it also opened an unexpected door. Both of them decided to walk away from their careers and chase the one thing that had always united them a passion for great food and good company.
With nothing more than a grill, a cooler, and a pocketful of determination, they set up shop on a street corner. Their days started early and ended late. They flipped burgers in the open air, taking orders from strangers who quickly became regulars. The aroma of sizzling beef and melted cheese floated through the neighborhood, drawing curious crowds. People didn’t just come for the food. They came for the energy,the laughter, the hustle, and the feeling that something special was happening.
For nine relentless months, they worked the street like seasoned pros, saving every dollar they could. The community rallied around them. Their sliders were indulgent and unapologetic, the kind of food that makes you forget your worries for a few minutes. Eventually, their dedication paid off. They saved enough to open their first brick and mortar restaurant right in the heart of Hollywood.
Today, Chris N Eddy’s has become more than a late-night burger stop. It is a place where flavor meets friendship, where the walls hum with music and conversation, and where every bite tells the story of two best friends who refused to give up. The restaurant now draws lines that stretch down the block, and their presence at major music festivals across the country is spreading their legacy even further.
Now they are getting ready to open a second location, proof that their story is only just beginning. What started as a dream on the blacktop and a grill on a street corner has turned into one of LA’s most exciting culinary success stories. Chris and Eddy built their empire on trust, hard work, and an unwavering belief in each other.
Chris N Eddy’s is not just a restaurant. It is a reminder that success tastes best when it is shared with a friend and seasoned with courage. From basketball games to burger fame, their story is a testament to the power of heart, hustle, and an appetite for more.
