Ranked #1 burger in the State of California and one of the most sought after burger in LA is created in a beer pub restaurant called The Father’s Office in Santa Monica, CA. Owned and created by Sang Yoon, this burger is famous and delicious based on its simplicity of flavors alone. He does not believe in adding extra condiments such as ketchup to the burger. So although very simple, it is very delicious. In this burger, the main elements highlighted in flavor are beef, onions and Gruyere cheese. That’s all you need 😉
Sang Yoon wanted to create a pub restaurant that would house beers from all over and serve various tapas to satisfy every taste bud. And one of these is called the Father’s Office burger. Pretty chill atmosphere. Although I must comment that they do not have menus here; you have to text a code to receive the link to the menu on your phone.
Basket of Seeet Potato Frites. Roasted garlic and Cabrales Blue Cheese Aioli. The most perfect sweet potato fries I have ever tried! Served steaming hot and crispy to the teeth, these frites are your healthy version of the unhealthy fries!
The Office Burger. Caramelized onions, Bacon, Gruyere, Maytag Blue, Arugula. It doesn’t look like much at first glance, but this burger WILL fool you! And I personally don’t know how there is a piece of frite in there.. Haha
Sang Yoon uses dry aged beef in his burger patties because it concentrates the juicy flavors in each bite. Because of the type of beef he uses, there was no need for any condiments! No ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise or any of the fancy add-obs that you’re used to with the other gourmet burgers. Simplicity in itself always wins and the juices that overflow your mouth!!
