Grill 'Em All Truck - Los Angeles

Website ~ Twitter

Winners of Food Network's 'The Great Food Truck Race,' Grill 'Em All serves up creative and diverse burgers guaranteed to blow your mind.  Take for example the Dee Snyder, a peanut butter and jelly bacon burger with Sriracha. Not for the faint of heart, the Dee Snyder shocked me by combining several contrasting flavors in a complimentary way.  While crispy bacon and peanut butter is a favorite combo of mine, the addition of the jelly is new.  And so is the Sriracha, which subtly peppers the last taste of every bite.

If that isn't enough to fill you up you've gotta try the h-100s, which are hand rolled tater tots filled with pepper jack and cheddar cheeses. Dangerously delicious, these things are hard to stop eating.  I had 5!

Father's Office - Santa Monica

Website

After hearing from several other burger lovers that Father's Office is THE place to get a burger in Los Angeles, I decided to visit the Santa Monica location for my birthday.

It's important to note that the burger comes dressed only one way, but you can choose how well you'd like your patty cooked.

I had the burger cooked medium rare, resulting in a juicy and tender patty.  The bitter arugula proudly defined itself against the caramelized onions, while the cheddar and swiss cheeses mixed together harmoniously.  Holding all the ingredients together is a mayo like sauce that's rich yet subtle with a hint of BBQ.  Squeezed between a toasted french roll, this burger is definitely worth enjoying more than once.

Served with thin cut garlic aioli fries, Father's Office delivered on its hype and I'll indeed remember it as the perfect birthday treat.
