We don't typically demand too much of our burgers, sandwiches, and other something-yummy-between-two-pieces-of-bread snacks, except that they be delicious and filling and zingy and full of flavor and so, hold up, yes, we do actually ask quite a bit.
And, quite often? Our burgers and sandwiches and bread-plus-filling feasts can deliver on all fronts, and more.

Where's your not-the-norm burger? Do you make it home? Seeking it out at a café or stand? Good thing SoCal can make our burgery dreams come true, so often, in this offbeat and appetizing category.
