Since he was a teenager, Dominic Gutierrez has been on
a quest for find “the best damn burger around.” His media experience started in
high school as the feature editor for the school paper, “The Spokesman” and then in college as the blog editor/writer for
Saddleback College’s “The Lariat.” He’s
a down to earth guy in sharp, smart dressed attire; a modern day Clark Kent of
sorts. He loves food and eats roughly 4-5 burgers a week. Now, that’s
dedication following the footsteps of George Motz, author of Hamburger America and host of Travel
Channel’s “Burgerland”.
On June 19, 2013, Dom’s
Favorite Burgers Blog had a launch party at West Elm in South Coast Plaza. I
had never been to West Elm before and was in awe of the products that they
sell. It’s almost like an IKEA meets Portland meets Small Producer Food
Products – funky, modern, laid back, yet out-of the-box.
Being a culinary
writer, I was drawn to all of the small producer food products like sauces,
pickles, pastas, and drinks. Free burgers were on hand with condiments sold in
the store ranging fom flavored mayos to hot sauces to bbq sauces to pickles.
We
even got to try some specialty soda syrups like ginger (which tasted like a
strong ginger ale), cream (cream soda with a bite), and sarsaparilla (somewhat
root beer-ish flavor).
I loved the different condiment combinations, but was a
little disappointed that the burgers were cold. It was catered in by Pacific
Whey Café. The burger itself wasn’t very exciting on its own, but the bun was
nicely glazed and had a soft, yet chewy texture.
We had a great time and are always glad to meet
another local food blogger. Learn where to find the best burgers in Orange
County, Los Angeles, and San Diego and follow Dom on his Burger Journey!
