Din Tai Fung has a location just outside LA and its very inexpensive and very very delicious. I never knew "Chinese food" could be so fresh and delicious.
RE Builtburger, "serving all-natural, ingredient-stuffed burgers" -- what does all-natural mean? It seems to be a meaningless food marketing phrase, like real estate's "steps/minutes from". At least when you claim that a food product is organic, there's a certifying body that must agree.
Are there any reasonably priced burger places that serve organic and/or free range meat? I'm thinking more like McMenamins, and less like a $22 burger at a hotel restaurant. I've gotten to the point where I only buy organic meat and cage free eggs for use at home, despite the additional cost, and I would like to support restaurants doing the same.
I'd love to see an update of Sara Dickerman's 2005 article, "Burgers Au Naturel."
First, don't bother with The Counter in Ballard. Over-hyped, expensive, and not worth it taste-wise.
Instead, try Blue Moon Burgers in Fremont. Their meat is from Thundering Hooves--all organic, etc, etc.. (Highly recommend the Blue Shroom Burger: portabella, bacon, blue cheese!) They also have gluten-free buns that are actually good.
Get this one right, Eltana, and I'll love you forever.
@5, Casuelita's did have a great happy hour. Bummer it's closed.
