Today is a great day, and not just because Fall is just around the corner… It’s National Cheeseburger Day! If you don’t think there is an art form to crafting the perfect cheeseburger, stop reading and leave my blog. You are not welcome here. There are endless meat and cheese combinations to choose from, not to mention toppings! While so many places, don’t hit the mark, the below 3 absolutely nail it! Keep scrolling for my favorite cheeseburgers in no particular order.
This place is one of my go-to burger spots. They kill it with their salads, queso and fries, but their burgers are the true stars of the menu. You have a variety of choices including, classic beef burgers, veggie options, an ahi burger and more! If you haven’t had one of their seasonal specials, you are missing out on a huge part of life. One of my recent favorites was their Juicy Lucy, a fresh ground Angus beef patty stuffed with melted Tillamook Cheddar and topped with another layer of cheddar along with black pepper aioli and caramelized onions. I mean, just look at it. It’s beautiful – in all of its cheesy glory.
This place is truly a hidden gem. It’s basically a food stand next to a skate park in Huntington Beach, but they are putting out some killer burgers. Their menu keeps things classic, and with combos starting at $5.49, it’s hard to find a better deal. Pro Tip: They open at 9 a.m. every day with a whole section of their menu dedicated to breakfast sandwiches.
If you are in the mood for a one-of-a-kind burger and need a new photo for the ‘gram, you need to go to ARC. You know food that looks good, but has just too much going on, yeah that’s not this burger. This burger looks insane and tastes even better! The patty is made up of short rib, ribeye strap, bacon lardons and duck fat. It is then topped with aged white Cheddar, red onion, lettuce, heirloom tomatoes and pickled Red Fresno Chiles. Pro Tip: Have the kitchen cut the burger for you, so you can easily share with your dining companion instead of attempting it yourself…you will end up with a mess on your hands.
Looks good & welcome back, missed these posts.
