From the national website, A Hamburger Today, comes a post titled, “30 Great Cheeseburgers We’ve Eaten This Year“:
In honor of National Cheeseburger Day, we’re rounding up 30 great cheeseburgers we’ve eaten so far this year. (We could pick more than 30, but we had to draw the line somewhere.) If you weren’t hungry before, you will be soon.
There were only five local eateries among the top 30 including The LAB. From L.A. premier burger blogger Damon Gambuto:
“The Lab Burger is made up of some impressive ingredients. The patty is eight ounces of Wagyu clod and sirloin beef sourced from the very good and reliable Premier Meat and ground in house. Megji adds some caramelized onions, bacon, blue and Gruyère cheese, and arugula. Those of you familiar with the LA burger scene are probably nodding with recognition about now; the Lab Burger owes a debt to the iconic (and overrated) Father’s Office burger. The Lab takes an important turn with their choice of putting all of these high-end components on the very good La Brea Bakery brioche bun.”
