No more $21.95 burger

Big John's Village Cafe in El Segundo serves a 32-ounce cheeseburger, said to have the girth of a medium pizza and adorned with half-a-head of lettuce, three tomatoes, an entire onion and 12 slices of cheese. Customers pay $21.95 for the monstrosity, but won't be able to much longer. This month owner John Aull is shuttering the cafe that opened in 1958.
