Former owner Sunny Sherman, the granddaughter of the original founders, confirmed to LAist that the burger parlor has been sold to Irving Azoff and his wife Shelli.

Azoff, 71, is an entertainment mogul whose credits include managing the Eagles for 40 years and formerly serving as the head of Ticketmaster and Live Nation. He is currently chairman and CEO of Azoff MSG Entertainment, a joint venture with the Madison Square Garden Company.
