Always serving up delicious green chile burgers and lemonade with a side of Hollywood!
Although our visits to LB have been less frequent over the past few months, this lunchtime joint still holds a special place in our hearts. Thus, we were thrilled to learn that the diner is featured in the opening scene of Sunshine Cleaning, shot right here in Abq during 2008.
Check out the movie trailer here!
Unfortunately this trailer does not show the amazing acting talents of Susie Yip, proud owner of LB. Yip's passionate performance as Mrs. Kim sets a strong tone for the movie as she boldly fires Norah Lorkowski (played by Emily Blunt) after shes clumsily sends an order of burgers and fries crashing to the floor. The scene also features Susie's partner in crime, Ronald Yip, who's authentic performance really adds a sense of legitimacy to the film. Overall, the Yips do an outstanding job of showcasing the wonders of LB through their silver screen performances.
With its appearance in Sunshine Cleaning, Lucky Boy stands tall as the finest eatery in the greater Albuquerque area, if not the entire state of New Mexico.
