The short rib burger was good but not that special, I hope it didn't have anything to do with being the last customer of the night. As far as Umami I was pleasantly surprised, some have said that the portion isn't enough but I found it just right. Thinking of doing a burger crawl sometime in July but just 4-6 places because of drive times.thngotiatrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00023926532135072155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-27981021146231693682009-04-09T15:26:00.000-07:002009-04-09T15:26:00.000-07:00Paul: Yes, Father's Office is definitely a place p...Paul: Yes, Father's Office is definitely a place people get up in arms about, as witnessed here!

The menu is created by a chef who knows his stuff and protects people like you from yourself - not allowing you to soil your food with ketchup and additions/deletions. The chef's creations are as is - removing parts changes the whole. You should try the Counter in Santa Monica, it's great and more your 'style'.

While they don't get any brownie points for originality, they do make it better than the original. Better roll, more balance between the caramelized onions and the applewood bacon - so it's not too sweet. Perhaps they use a little more cheese on their burgers, because you can really taste it. Still not an overpowering blue cheese, but it's in there with the Gruyere. While I still enjoy a FO burger, this has ruined it for me a bit, because now I see what it can be. www.deluxburger.comDave Goldberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015201766822799996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-63834593080353905052009-04-01T02:25:00.000-07:002009-04-01T02:25:00.000-07:00another great entry! :)another great entry! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-6118820814757835232009-04-01T00:01:00.000-07:002009-04-01T00:01:00.000-07:00If you are doing Fatburger you gotta throw in Five...If you are doing Fatburger you gotta throw in Five Guy's then, supposedly it competes with In-N-Out and I am sorry to say imho In-N-Out > Fatburger.<BR/><BR/>Just reading that crawl list made my heart skip a beat.
