Photo: Slater's 50/50Best Damn Bacon Cheeseburger
The name is a dare, and the build is a straight American bacon cheeseburger done generously: Black Canyon Angus beef with thick-cut bacon, grilled onions, American cheese, lettuce, tomato and thousand island on a brioche bun. Nothing on it is unusual, which is the point. If you want to know whether Slater’s can cook a burger before trying the bacon-blend stunts, start here.

About Slater's 50/50
Scott Slater opened the first Slater’s 50/50 in Anaheim Hills, California, around 2009 with one idea so simple it is surprising nobody had built a restaurant on it before: a burger patty made from half ground beef and half ground bacon. The bacon is not on the burger, it is the burger.
A small chain based in Southern California, with a few locations in other states.
