November 7, 201312 yr Well, I do have to admit that it has been 2-3 years since I have eaten there (ours opened around 4 years ago) so I don't quite remember exactly what I didn't like about it but it was unmemorable enough for me to pass on it even though it is very close to our house. Also, I LOVE hamburgers and eat them often so I really wanted to like Smashburger when it opened. I vaguely remember the hamburgers being way too salty and overdoing the spice (something like rosemary, can't remember). It was like they were covering up the taste of the burger. Perhaps I should give it another try though. Edited November 7, 201312 yr by shellylh
November 7, 201312 yr Was not a fan of the fries.. but I thought it was a pretty good burger. not my fav.. but with other burger places around I am not hurting.
November 7, 201312 yr Grass fed chuck, blue cheese, and bacon burgers on the grill at Chez Harvey are the best... Edited November 7, 201312 yr by shellylh
November 7, 201312 yr ^ I definitely approve of Chez Harvey. Great chefs, who are quite personable and don't stint the wine.
November 10, 201312 yr Giving Smashburger another chance. It was ok but they forgot one important thing on the bacon cheeseburger, the BACON! WTF?
November 10, 201312 yr Stopped by Lunchbox Laboratory today. Ate so much food, and still had nearly half left when I was done. Got the dork balls (duck+pork), Hong Kong hot wings, and a Le Truffle Love burger. Bacon manhattan to drink.
November 11, 201312 yr Made general tso's chicken for lunch: Then sous vide pork jowl over a celery root puree and pickled apple slices:
November 11, 201312 yr Colin, care to share the recipe for general tso's that you used. Assuming it was a success...
November 12, 201312 yr It was a success, would have been more of one if I was better at deep frying. http://www.seasaltwithfood.com/2009/07/general-tsos-chicken-changsha-version.html
November 15, 201312 yr Not at the moment, but we saw the action at lunchtime when visiting (Mikey's) Costco. http://www.marinij.com/novato/ci_24524120/novato-welcomes-n-out-burger-open-arms-and I guess that makes it the first / last In-N-Out between Mayberry + RRBC ..
November 15, 201312 yr Indeed - I saw that it may have been open last night - I had raw fish to cook from Costco - so didn't stop by.. will soon enough.
November 15, 201312 yr Pork Belly with bacon salsa, bacon Brussels sprouts (yuck) and bacon mashed potatoes.
