Best Burgers

And speaking of burgers, not long ago Haven Gastropub in Pasadena revealed a new burger menu served only in a back section of the restaurant. Burger writer Damon Gambuto of Serious Eats stopped by and declares these new additions "the real deal." Gambuto explains that he "tried three of the burgers on the stripped down menu and all were very good." The favorite? The McCormick Alley composed of "100 percent grass-fed chuck from a ranch in Paso Robles that is topped with a two-year aged Grafton cheddar, a bacon stout jam, and butter lettuce set atop a roasted shallot potato bun."
