The Original 50/50

The burger the restaurant is named after. A patty of half ground bacon and half ground beef, so every bite is smoky and salty through and through, topped with a sunny-side-up egg, avocado mash, pepper-jack cheese and chipotle adobo mayo. It is rich beyond reason and exactly as good as it sounds. Break the yolk before you bite.

Scott Slater came up with the 50/50 patty for his restaurant, grinding bacon together with beef instead of laying strips on top. The result was distinctive enough that the “50/50 burger” now has its own Wikipedia entry as a style, a rare honour for a single restaurant’s idea.
