You got beautiful women.

You got low riders.

And then you got burgers, man.

Whether at restaurants or drive throughs, burger icons are everywhere.

But you can't talk about L.

A's burger culture without talking about the backyard burner.

No one epitomizes the tradition quite like the Chicano Low Rider clubs of East L A r D I Y home.

Grilled burners are a focal point for the community today.

We're in my hood peak Rivera, and we're gonna link up with some of the members of together Car Club to make the ultimate backyard burner.

My name is Chris.

I go by creeps Manny G.

Everybody calls me Turtle here.

Didi, I've been there for 40 years.

I got 81 kind of supreme dedicated to my sister.

Passed away of cancer burgers, low riding like Hi.

You want a hollow You want We got prone.

Got lettuce.

We got paid for that tomato.

I'm not gonna be here just five years now.

I'm gonna be here for life.

Your number was in all day, every day, right here in people when I was a kid.

Like I used to just hang out at the in N out burger right here on Whittier Boulevard.

Or sometimes Tommy and I would see the cars come up and it's just like the most amazing thing to see.

So how did this whole thing start already started back in the fifties?

Guys wanting to show off their cars say we'll fix him up with rims or, you know, drop him down, make him look classy.

Cruising.

I mean, where loads slow.

Yeah, so everyone could see it.

Right?

If you drive too fast, they don't see you.

The slower you go, the more you know.

How do you get into together Car club where we had standards.

Your car had to be what they call flyable.

This is an example of global car clean white walls, armor, all tires, no spots on the chrome.

No fox on the windows paint job had to be immaculate.

We also have rules.

And if you didn't comply with the rules, we had a paddle.

Okay, I'm and I'm gonna go ahead and have you the battle Was there, Justin enforcement thing to let you know that.

Listen, we need to have a set of standards that follow and you take him seriously and we take him very serious.

Order, Respect.

Everyone thinks like, Oh, it's well like gangs and stuff like that.

But it's really complete opposites about family.

Right leg, right.

You're gonna see it in gangster rap.

You're gonna see it in R and B.

It's just the love of the game.

It's your love of the car.

However, when you're portraying our culture into a negative scene which everybody knows, we're all front.

We're all from a scene like that, right?

But what we do now is not not to destroy our communities.

What to raise up and build up those communities.

Kiss put into college on this carpet for these people here, I'm all about brothers here.

We show positive move with your from own neighborhood or not.

Doesn't matter.

We love everybody in general coming here.

You change.

You become really responsible person because you know what that car you have is your pride and that pack your flight is your pride.

And that's art.

As a Filipino guy, I grew up in a predominantly Latino neighborhood.

All my friends were, you know, either Mexican or or Salvadorian.

You know, I've always been like, Oh, you know, you're the Chino, right?

Like it's like, you know what?

No, I'm actually from here, you know?

I mean, like, you know, I I embrace this culture.

That's why I wanted to bring you back.

I wanted to show people you know what real burger culture is in Southern California.

Because burgers and low riders Sunday afternoon doesn't matter where you're from.

Everybody's welcome into this culture, right?

Just gonna expect all right.

Along with everybody that were usually after, you know, we go cruising or hanging out somewhere, we come back to the Low Rider house and grill what we usually grow the most of would be asada and burgers.

Burgers always come hand in hand to what we do.

I would like to show my appreciation to you guys and make you guys a burger that I feel is inspired by growing up in PICO Rivera.

We'll let you see our car.

You Let's see that burger on a Sunday afternoon making burgers in the backyard, having a colon in your other hand.

That's heavy to me.

Of course, right.

That's why we're better than that.

That's why we're here today.

I wanted to make a burger that's inspired by the east side of Los Angeles.

This is a grill master.

One on one, right here.

This is a Weber Girls like classic.

Has to be charcoal.

Never.

Propane.

Did you smoke flavor?

Yeah, it's more flavor, Right?

Definite.

So what I do is I throw all my hot coals all on one side.

So if you hold your hand like right here, this is like putting your burger on a frying pan this super hot.

Okay?

And then this is like putting your burger.

And because there's no direct heat hitting God, right?

More like a slow cook.

The secret, so good burger is like having a nice crust on the outside, but still nice and juicy on the inside.

Of course, I like making Patties a little bit bigger than the bunt, so that has room to shrink.

So I hear is just Carney's solace, seasoning, and the reason why we do this is because usually you're cooking contest, although first, right, so then all the flavor and gets on the grill.

Okay.

And then you throw up.

You throw a burger on.

After that, you smell it.

Smells like it.

And you could get.

Never be too stingy with it.

That smells really good, man.

So you throw this on seasoning down, and then you hit it again.

So if you want, like a medium rare burger of that this size, you're probably about a minute and 1/2 on each side, and then you switch it over here and let it cook through.

This is like 80% lean, 20% fat.

So the fat is dropping onto the coals.

That smoke that it creates is the flavor.

Ah, a lot of people.

They put the spatula and press down on and never do that.

You don't because that's that's all.

All the good stuff is leaving the burger when you want to check for doneness like I don't how you guys like your burgers.

I like mine a little bit.

Medium room.

When you have steaks, you feel I'm on the top right here.

But when you do burgers because it's ground meat, you have to do it from the side.

Uh, okay, So when it bounces back like that, that's about medium.

I'm using Jack cheese.

I feel like that's like the cheese of champions out here.

When I was a kid.

We used to go to this place in PICO Fall guacamole and their burgers had walking it.

So, you know, that's always a highlight.

White Not right.

Not this is this Cheese is like, barely melted through.

That's just the way I like it.

I'm kind of nervous to give us because I heard you're like the rib guy.

The grill master.

He's my pork baby backs Alvin Award winning pork ribs, I hear Well, I've won a few awards.

Oh, my smoky, sweet, super tender.

You're not hiding the flavor of the pork.

That's fantastic.

That was an amazing rib.

But since you guys are in the customizing culture, I want to customize this burger and grab.

Some were red meat.

What are we doing?

It is he's doing boy loaded on top of this Burger Room master to grill Master.

We'll call this up together in PICO de Salud to that try it out, see how it goes.

What?

That is really good.

Yeah, I'll let you know when I finish.

All right.

Way past the grill Masters test.

It's Sunday.

Stop talking.

Let's start eating.

Might call your spot pumping if you got crushed ice in a Styrofoam cup with the rebuild right?

So homey.

No time.
