To a Degree

You live in jeans and a tee (with a billion dollar bag on your arm). And you just adore watching the game (from fully catered box seats).You’re what some like to call bi-maintenance. Just like 25 Degrees, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel’s new swanky burger joint. It’s casual and high-end all at once, as if a ’50s truck stop met a sexy French drawing room in the post-modern era.

Options include ground sirloin, turkey burgers, and hot dogs with gourmet toppers (like Emmi Gruyère and Midnight Moon gouda-style goat cheese), extras (like chili, jalapeño, and sauerkraut), and pomme frites with fancy dipping sauces (like tarragon remoulade, garlic Parmesan, and gallego).

For whistle wetting, look for milk shakes; egg creams; whipped root beer; and unusual lavender, rhubarb, and kumquat sodas. Even more impressive, there are 50-plus half bottles of wine on the list. So you can chow a burger with a nice glass (or two) of syrah or viognier.

You can go in now or wait till the official grand opening on Wednesday.
But whenever you stop by, you’ll undoubtedly leave very satisfied.
Both sides of you.

25 Degrees, 7000 Hollywood Boulevard, at Orange Drive, Hollywood (323-785-7244).
