Hey ya all, I'm back, looking for the best burger in town. Even though I've almost turned vegetarian. I have been juicing for the last year. Your body starts to tell you what it doesn't want and then you have to figure out what it wants and adjust. My love for burgers began eight years ago in South Los Angeles, Three Bears Barbeque and Bernard's Burgers. Living in West Los Angeles it is hard to find a classic burger with onion, pickle, lettuce, tomato, cheese, ketchup and mustard. I have eaten at several establishments that provide you with a decadent, high end burger, but not what I crave. The meat needs to hold together with plenty of flavor, good toppings, a simple cheese and bun, just a lot of love. Tradition seems to be a key element in the consistency of the classic burger found on my past journeys. I can't wait for my next burger experience, I feel, as I write this.
I tried The Golden State at 426 Fairfax, across the street from Cantor's Deli. It is a little place. I was told about The Golden State, it was on list, when I saw Guy Fiori debut it on the cooking show. Guy loved the pulled pork with marinated jalapenos, which they only serve on Tuesday night I was later told.
The burger came with a happy, shiny bun. It was a brioche bun. The meat was good but under-seasoned, my number one complaint of most burgers. The arugula and aoli were good. I missed red onion. It was a solid burger for taste and with Tillamook cheese. The cutest thing was when a little boy, (about 6 years old) with his sister and father stated, "I could eat this burger a hundred million times". It was very good overall.
The fries were no great shakes but the service rocked! I think I might have underestimated this burger and will go back again to see, or taste, may it be. I give it a 7, maybe missing some love. Stay tuned for my rating system.
