Los Angeles is a town of many burgers.Thick steakhouse burgers, smash burgers, really smashed burgers, fast-food burgers, vegan burgers, pastrami-topped burgers and everything in between.We have it all, and we have Alton Brown and the Food Network to thank for my new favorite burger and this week's column.

Bob Dylan once named Gordon Lightfoot one of his favorite songwriters, and called the musician somebody of rare talent while inducting him into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1986.On Dylan's 1970 album Self Portrait, he even recorded Lightfoot's Early Morning Rain, and the respect was mutual Lightfoot listened carefully to Dylan's songs, which instilled in him a more direct approach, getting away from the love songs, he once said.

The Dodgers beat the Angels 3-0 on Sunday night.It was a masterpiece by ace Clayton Kershaw who struck out Anaheim's Mike Trout three times in the game.Oh, and there's an emphasis on that quick because the game lasted just 2 hours and 8 minutes.After the game, Kershaw jokingly worried about the games maybe being a little too quick, especially for Los Angeles.

For all its wealth and devotion to the myth of the American Dream, the US allows many more of its citizens to live in poverty than other wealthy countries do.We hold the 10th highest poverty rate in a 2021 ranking of OECD countries, with almost 38 million Americans living in poverty.Even that number is calculated using an outdated measure that probably doesn't fully account for the number of families that are truly struggling.

Chris Drury has had his missteps as a young GM, but make no mistake, this was an executive coveted around the league for years.Drury's preparation for this role goes back years, and while there were definitely other factors in John Davidson and Jeff Gorton's dismissal in 2021, there is no question in my mind that Dolan/Sather thought their grip on Drury's young career was going to loosen if they did not promote him.
