The Golden State

The Golden State, an ode to California!

This little gastropub along the hip street of Fairfax celebrates burgers, beers and 'dogs in true California fashion... Basically, everything comes from the state and is fashionably fresh and in season. To name drop a few items, the gelato comes from Scoops and the hot dogs are by Let's Be Frank. I'm not big on the booze but I know the local beer selection is hoppin' for such a small joint. Complaining about prices won't happen here, everything is deliciously affordable!

My friend Claudia and I wanted a "buffet" style dinner, so we split everything we ordered: the burger, the hot dog, the fries and the slaw. It made for quite a variety on our plates! The house burger is one of the best I've tasted... If you don't specify, they will cook it medium-rare; I had mine done medium-rare and it was bomb. I kind of got carried away with the curry ketchup - never tasted such a condiment before - and put it on my burger, hot dog and sweet potato logs. You gotta try it when you go! This industrial space lined with brick walls and splashes of yellow was the perfect place to start the weekend - Cheers, California!
