I wanted to take time this month to share one of my favorite casual dining places to go when I am determined to ruin my caloric intake for the year.  Slater’s 50/50 is a restaurant that specialized in the 50/50 burger.  By 50/50 they are referring to the burger patty being 50% beef and 50% bacon!  I don’t freak out for bacon, but I can definitely appreciate something like that.  In addition to their amazing build-your-own gigantic burgers, they also have many other items.  I especially love their fried pickles (which you can get on your burger as well)!  You want fries with that?  Well they’ve got them, along with a side of their BACON KETCHUP (sorry, I just had to yell that) to go along with them.  If those heavy calories aren’t enough to fill you up then they also offer a wide range of empty calories as well; each location has 100+ different beers on tap which rotate daily.

Unfortunately for the rest of the world, Slater’s 50/50 currently only has locations in Southern California, but after being featured on several different TV food shows it’s a matter of time before one opens near you.  Take us for example, a San Marcos location just opened up by Camden Old Creek….Woo Hoo!!
