Father's Office- The Bestest Burger EVER

What's up people of the interwebs? So, I've been hearing about this joint in Santa Monica called Father's Office. There is one thing in common with amongst all the comments I've heard. That is, "They have the best burger... ever!!!" Ever, huh? We'll see about that.



Luckily, they opened a second location with convenient free parking and ample seating in Culver City. Before delve too far into this, let it be known that this place is in fact, a bar. They do have a doorman who cards everyone ("you're just a doorman... doorman"... haha... sorry... that's a Knocked Up reference... If you don't know you better ask somebody). It's 21 and over, no exceptions.



Once you walk in you'll see the bar. It's got a bunch of beers and wine on tap. Yep, wine on tap. I'm guessing they just buy entire barrels of vino... who knows. I'm not entirely sure if its a full bar because my party along w/ everyone around us were drinking beer & wine.



The place has no real wait staff. It's open seating, every man for himself. Here's how it works. Since there's no waiters (or waitresses... boo) you order everything from the bartenders, and take a number back to your table. All the food items are as they are written on the menu. No substitutions, changes, etc. It is what it is, so to speak. What I noticed when glancing the strict menu was that there was only one burger. This must be it. The holy grail of burgers... The Office Burger.



This burger is loaded with caramelized onions, bacon, gruyere cheese, maytag blue cheese, and arugula on a french roll. Simply amazing. The way the sweetness of the onions (I swear they've gotta be using maui sweet onions because they've got that maui onion chips flavoring) mixes with that saltiness of the swine (bacon), then you get that pungent hit from the blue cheese, and the smoothness of gruyere (ooohhh-weeee), finally a little bitterness from the arugula (no lettuce or tomato in this bad boy) brings a tear to any burger lover's eye. This is a man's burger... well, a fairly well off man's burger. This booshie burger comes with a booshie price tag of $12 (add $2.50 if you want fries-regular or sweet potato). All I know is that it was all worth it to me.



So there you have it folks. Arguably the best burger... EVER!!! I'm officially playing the banjo on the Office Burger Bandwagon. But, because the burger costs a pretty penny, it'll have to be a special occasions only meal for this dude. Looks like "Happy Saturday" is coming up. Oh, and "Good Sunday" is right around the corner too. Just call me the booshie hamburglar. I've got some more special occasions to create and celebrate.
(FYI, Booshie means too rich, extravagant, ballerific, etc.)



Till next time kids...

Peace Out.
