My mom, posted up in front of The Squeeze Inn, home to one of the best burgers in Sac Town, the Squeeze Burger. I heard about the place from my most-excellent friend Sarah, who caught it on a Food Network show showcasing the top 10 burgers in the United States. This place is tiny, there's a row of bar stools inside and that's about it. Our order took about 30 minutes to process and the place is AC-less, so it was quite the wait. Still it was worth it for...
A SQUEEZE BURGER! Sorry the picture is a little blurry, I think the fat is creating a lardy haze around the burger. That entire orangish/yellow area engulfing the entire front of the burger is cheese, let me assure you that. When the burger is cooking, they put a mound 2-3 inches high of cheese on top of the burger, which proceeds to melt onto it and onto the grill. The cook then pulls out an Exact-O-like utensil and slices the burger (cheese and all), off the grill. This leaves the 'skirt' (so Sarah tells me it is called) of cheese, which has the delicious kinda-burnt-but-still-good cheese taste you find with pizza sometimes. Case and point: The skirt makes the burger good.
(To top it off, the Squeeze Burger is only $4.80, which is quite a steal for 1/3 pound burger.)
OK, I probably won't get this again due to my pseudo-diet out here, but it's a must-eat if you're in the Sac Town area. Getting the food and the uniqueness of the burger is an experience you just have to enjoy once in life, so make sure you get on it...
