That’s because this small, local hamburger chain has been cranking out its “original charcoal broiled” burgers from basically the same menu since 1952. Whether they frequented the old Gentilly location on Pelopidas (with a not-so-memorable view of the cemetery), the original City Park Avenue address or one of several other locations, they can more than likely rattle off their favorite menu item by number too.

And on Monday during my daily visit to the Nola.Eater page, I came across a post on Bud’s Broiler. It’s Burger Week over at, the popular blog network that covers restaurant, bar and nightlife news across 15 metropolitan areas including New Orleans.
