I was surprised when I moved to SoCal and found so many old-fashioned
mom and pop burger shacks with signage that proclaimed "Hamburgers -
Burritos - Pastrami". I saw the three listed so prominently in so many
signs I wondered if it was single dish. It wasn't. Having come from
Dallas I had not seen any of the three served in a single joint.

Usually, owned by Armenian-Americans. Burgers and burritos are
the local food of Los Angeles, and pastrami comes from Armenia
(among other places).

Having visited them all around OC (concluding about 15 years ago) I
found none of them were Aremenian. This might well be the case in LA
where many things are Armenian from strip joints to carwashes.
