| best burger in sacramento pt.1 |
Today, Alicia and I decided to try out a couple of burger places. I did some research on them, and found out where they were and we went to work... Here's what we thought. The beginning of our search for sacramento's best hamburger! We have a few criteria that we're going to base our scores on. We decided to have a basic bacon cheeseburger be our standard burger of choice amongst the places that we are trying.
The first place we went to was Ford's Real Burgers
This is a little place by Sac City College. There were lots of people talking burgers when we got there, so it seemed like the place to be. Above is a picture of the burger that I had there (this was before we decided it might be best to just share one burger for testing). I had a 1/3 lb burger with pepper jack cheese and bacon. I added some relish to it, because I like to have pickles of some form in my hamburger. The first thing that I noticed when I got the burger was that it wasn't really hot. I had problems believing that it just came off the grill. I thought that even though it looked pretty good, it was just kind of average. Alicia thought that it about average as well. She thought that there were too many onions on the burger that she had, but she did like the sauce that came on it. Pretty average indeed.
The second place that we went to was a really cool place that was in downtown sac: Nationwide Freezer Meats.
It was very Americana in it's decor. There were many pictures of marilyn monroe and other old school hollywood stars up. It was really a no frills place and the food was the same, they got down to business with their hamburgers. We got a groundsteak burger with bacon and cheese. The picture above is the burger that we had (I forgot to take the picture until after I'd cut it in half and had a bite.). This burger was served in a paper bag, piping hot off the grill. It was a pretty good burger. There were not any options on the cheese that we could get, but this place had pickles on their burgers, which was a plus for me. Alicia does not like pickles on her burgers, so she picked them off. The cool thing about this burger was that it was made with ground steak, so it had personality! I think that the bun was too bakery like tho, because it really covered up the meat. It was very moist though, and the bacon was delicious.
2 down... Uncountable places to go. After one and a half burgers today, I think I'll be waiting for a couple of weeks until the next outing. Hopefully, we'll be able to find that great burger in the city.
Till the next update,
I'm out...
