Hawk Lee

Owner of Kalbi Burger in Los Angeles, 2011.

Hawk Lee was a military aerospace engineer for 17 years before opening up Kalbi Burger.

When he was nine years old, Hawk Lee’s family came from South Korea, where one of their special treats was barbecued ribs. Here in the United States, upon their arrival, the big thing was McDonald’s hamburgers. A few decades later, Hawk fused together the Korean barbecue rib with the American classic to come up with Kalbi Burger.

Hawk Lee is married to his partner Tina.

Artak Muradyan

Man who filed a lawsuit against the City of L.A.

In 2020, Artak Muradyan had a civil lawsuit against the City of Los Angeles, Artak Muradyan v. City of Los Angeles (Los Angeles Superior Court Case No. BC719223; Claim No. C18-03946), arising from a trip-and-fall on the sidewalk of Fulton Avenue near Victory Boulevard. The City Attorney requested a closed session to discuss settlement of the litigation, and on June 24, 2020, the Los Angeles City Council adopted the item approving the matter, by a 14–0 vote, with Jose Huizar absent; the Council action was finalized June 25.

Muradyan v. City of Los Angeles — BC719223 — settled for $400,000. The Daily Journal’s verdict/settlement database identifies the matter as a Personal Injury / Dangerous Condition of Public Property / Trip and Fall case, gives the result date as June 25, 2020, and reports “Settlement – $400,000.”
