Meet LA’s Reigning Foodies – The Trois Mec Guys!
Chefs Ludo Lefebvre, Jon Shook, and Vinny Dotolo have taken LA’s food scene by storm – their restaurant empire in the Southern California area keeps growing, and I’ve eaten in many of them. The food is big, audacious, and packed with flavor…sometimes too much!
Time To Bite Into “The Big Mec!”
I ate at the trio’s Petit Trois location in Sherman Oaks, and if you want to go, get a reservation – it’s always packed!
It’s a beautiful. Parisian-style bistro that has classic bistro dishes with a lot of Southern California flair…
The menu has such classics as Burgundy Escargots, Steak Tartare, Sole Meuniere and Steak Frites, but what caught my burger-loving eye was their take on the “Big Mac”, which they call, naturally:
Behold The Messy Majesty Of The Big Mec Double Cheeseburger!
Time To Bite Into This Big Mec!
What can I say? Their take on a McDonald’s Big Mac supersizes EVERYTHING, and as the menu says, there’s plenty of bordelaise sauce as well!
As I said at the beginning, the boys love to amp up the flavor, to an extreme that can sometimes be too much, but believe it or not, this works! And yes, it’s the messiest burger I’ve ever eaten!
As you can see, the sauce, cheese and gravy oozes from the burger and forms a nice pool of sauce to dip the burger in as well…it’s super rich, but as you can see when the burger is cut inhale, there are a lot of other things inside that provide a nice balance to the richness, particularly nice chunks of tart pickles…
While these pictures I took make the burger look massive, it’s actually NOT as huge as you would think – they were wise to serve it on a normal size bun, as too much bread would have made itTOO filling:
Glazed Bacon!
A special side dish is the glazed bacon, which is a thick slice of bacon that has a slightly sweet glaze…it is delicious as a side dish…overall, Trois Mec has a strong bistro menu, lots of flavor, and yes, it’s a messy burger, but not in a negative way!
There are lots of burger in Southern California and here are two more I have enjoyed:
Astro Burger in West Hollywood, on “route 66”, offers up a massive pastrami-topped burger that is delicious – and all of the flavors blend together nicely – you can see my whole review here:
I am also a fan of Bob’s “Big Boy” Burger from Burbank California:
What is so cool about the iconic Bob’s Big Boy restaurant is they have a weekly vintage car show in their parking lot…see more about this iconic restaurant here:
And I want to fly to Brazil just to try and bite into this unique burger:
Yes this burger has an edible wrapper!

So, Trois Mec’s “Big Mec” burger is the messiest burger I’ve had so far, and it is also one of the LA’s best!

Hi Zhongshan, this burger looks delicious despite being a bit messy.
All Robbie, that’s the first time auto-correct turned me into “Zhongshan!”
😂🤣 I didn’t even notice
Love the look of this tiny restaurant and I would certainly give it my best try
Fortunately, I had already ordered an Indian Meal for delivery, otherwise I would be salivating over those burgers!
We have just finished eating it, Lamb Bhoona, Mushroom Rice, Bombay Potato, Garlic Naan. The same order for us both, and delicious!
Best wishes, Pete.
