Planning my next work trip around food... typical.

One of the major perks of work travel is that I can use them as an excuse to try new restaurants I've heard or read about. Usually I've got a handful of options in the holster in case I get the inevitable, "Sarah, what would you like to eat for dinner?" question. Or, if I'm by myself, its even better... I don't have to feel bad about driving 30 minutes out of the way in order to try something no one else wants to eat.

I'm heading out to Sac-town next week and was super excited to catch an episode of triple D's featuring all Sacramento restaurants. I have to try the Dad's burger at Dad's Kitchen. It does something awesome with burgers that I've never quite seen before. They take what looks to be a 4 inch ring mold and layer in the burger toppings with the meat, smashing them into basically one thick burger patty. And they layer in yummy goodies like bacon and blue cheese.

hard to see that bacon crust, but it is there

A patty that is one side ground beef, one side crispy flat-top-cooked bacon and cheese?

Yeah, I think I'd drive out of the way for that.
