This year's charitable burger at Slater's 50/50 donates a portion of the proceeds to Dogs On Deployment (http://dogsondeployment.org/). Dogs on Deployment is a non-profit that offers a foster home to dogs of military personnel while overseas. The Bone Marrow Burger [aptly named for the benefit dogs] helps a worthy cause, and the irony is that the peanut butter flavor is the prominent.

While dogs like peanut butter a lot, I do not. To say the burger is bad would be a disservice and a lie. It is not a bad burger, it is merely one that I am not particularly fond of; however you may be, so try if i were you.

‘Merica Burger 2.0 at Slater’s 50/50 | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 26

Cue's Bacon Weekend 2015 consisted of Bacon & Barrels' food festival in Solvang, CA on Saturday; OC Fair's Media Preview on Sunday; then this overloaded bacon burger filming at Slater's 50/50 yesterday (Monday). Why? Because America! America loves bacon! The weekend finale was me laid out for 45 minutes on the table where I filmed this video. #BOMnation.

The 'Merica Burger is a 100% ground bacon patty, Sriracha bacon, bacon jam, American bacon cheese, fried Mac N' Cheese, tomato, field greens, all between a bacon pretzel bun. It is paired with Ironfire Synner Extra IPA.

Every July Slater's 50/50 releases the 'Merica Burger. This year's 'Merica Burger differs a bit from the previous years. I believe the fried Mac N Cheese was one of the major differences. Last year had a fried egg, and leaf lettuce whereas this year's has fried Mac N' Cheese and field greens.

Pie 'n Burger, and its owner Michael Osborne are staple in the city of Pasadena. The restaurant opened some 53 years ago, and Michael came aboard about 10 years later. He has overseen and maintained this old school-styled diner, and made it something worth trying. I indulge in a classic American cheese cheesburger, and delicious pumpkin pie. Later in the video Michael gives us a brief history of the restaurant. Hope you guys enjoy.

Savage Burger at Oh My Burger L.A. | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 21

In the 21 episodes I have done so far, no burger has excited me more than the Savage Burger at Oh My Burger L.A. After I completed filming, I immediately called a friend in a moment of joy, happiness, and overwhelming amazement.

Oh My Burger is an African American-owned restaurant in Gardena, CA. Owner and chef Brandyn Powell started the restaurant with his fiancee Danielle about 4 years ago. I had the pleasure of meeting them, and attempting their 6LB OMB Burger Challenge which I failed. At the time the place was very new, and chef Brandyn was very inexperienced. Coming back some years later, and trying them again has completely changed my very outspoken opinion. The Savage Burger is delicious, flavorful, and quite mindblowing. There is a voicemail to prove it if you want to hear it.

To my subscribers, and new viewers if there is a burger place that I insist you must try in Los Angeles, it is Oh My Burger. To chef Brandyn and Danielle, I extremely proud of what you all have done, and from where you all have come. Keep up the good work, and I honestly believe you can attain the #2 spot in my burger world. Hodad’s is #1 and will be until further notice.

California is filled with mom & pop burger joints named Tommy’s, Tom’s, Tom’s Jr, Tam’s or some variation thereof. They all serve Breakfast Burritos, but only Slater’s 50/50 decided to make a burger out of one!

The Breakfast Burrito Burger is Slater’s 50/50’s May 2015 Burger of the month. The flavors combine to create a taste and profile that reminds you of a traditional style breakfast burrito that you would get from one of South Central Los Angeles’ many Tom’s, Tam’s, Golden Ox, or Fabulous Burger locations. The burger overall is good, and true the the inspiration of local South L.A.
