Open Thread: What is the best hamburger in San Diego?

PrintMentor is in the process of re-evaluating the food options at Petco Park. If you've ever eaten at Petco Park, you know that they have food, but I would defy you to say that they have any "signature" items. He's asked Gaslamp Ball to help figure out what brands he should be going after and what he should be emulating.
First on our culinary tour is the hamburger.
If you know Padres history, you know that Ray Kroc loathed hot dogs. Little sausages shaped things packed full of who knows what. Owning the Padres must have been a constant source of nausea for the former owner, having to see thousands (or hundreds as it were) of fans shoving hot dogs into their mouths one or two at a time.
If there was one thing he loved, it was burgers. And as it so happens, it's the first thing that Mentor asked about.
@TomGarfinkel
Tom Garfinkel If you could see one San Diego food brand offered at Petco Park which would it be? Example- #rockysburger?
FavoriteRetweet
Personally, I've never been to Rocky's but Mentor tweeted a Hodad's photo shortly thereafter. I love me some Hodad's. So have at it. What's the best burger in San Diego?
Other things that Mentor's curious about that we can discuss now or later:
- Margarita
- Pizza
- Craft Beer
- Guacamole
- Tacos
- BBQ
Notably absent from the list... Anything having to do with breakfast. HMMMMMMMMMM...

I'll get it started
Jumbo Jack. Beef & Bun. O’Brothers (depending on the chef). Any variation of Tijuana deli style hamburgers served at Mexican restaurants (or the really nice one at El Take It Easy).
I personally don’t like Hodad’s. I know, I’m crazy. Their burgers are so thin! If I wanted 8 pounds of toppings, I’d go wild at Fuddrucker’s.

Hodads
Is the best burger I have ever had, and its a the perfect comfort food. I don’t expect a lot of comfort will be needed as I expect a 162-0 season. That said, should the unthinkable happen and we lose a game at home. I don’t want to have to walk all the way to 10th and Broadway to get me a little piece of meaty, cheesey, ketchup & Mustardy, Pickley heaven.

5 Guys >>>>>>In N out
and I love In N out
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
I do. I love salty nuts in my mouth

In-n-Out is really good, but 5 guys has juicy burgers, better buns, and WAAAY better fries.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
The fries are much better if you order them well done.
But that’s beside the point. The burgers are better at In-n-Out, and that’s what matters.

Other curiousities
Margarita- I don’t like much, but I hear that Freds in Old Town has good ones.
Pizza- Tie between Bronx Pizza and Luigi’s IMHO
Craft Beer- Anything from Ballast Point or Stone… I hear Pizza Port is good, never had.
Guacamole- I hate guac, which earns me shun face from my San Diego friends.
Tacos- Mama Testa’s by far. Their fish tacos are wildly expensive and worth every penny.
BBQ- Phils is good. So good I never try anything else.
Padres Fan.
Luigi’s. YES.
They already have Stone on tap at Petco Park. Ballast Point on tap would be AMAZING.
No pants. No problem.
Odd story that someone told me that might be true
Luigi was one of the original owners of Bronx and left (taking the recipe, essentially) to start his own place. This is why the pizza is equally as good as Bronx’s.

Yeah
There’s good reason for that.
For one, they obviously don’t want to pay for the liquor license because they’re run as cheaply as possible (making them a perfect match for the Padres!). This is why they’re cash-only and have a shady accountant.
For two, they try and get as many people in as possible. This means getting as many people out as quickly as possible. They don’t like when you hang around for a while.

The problem with some of these hamburger choices
is that they are already like 8-10 bucks at their location. You bring them into the ballpark and you’ve got easily 12-15 bucks. I want an affordable burger that’s why I think I’d like just a jumbo jack or something.

I know there were there at least a few season ago
right behind section 103 I believe, but not sure if it is still there.
Honestly I bring my own food to the games. Family of 4, food adds up.
Heck I brought in a whole bronx pizza before, box and everything and no one said a word.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
I've done the pizza thing before too.
They’re very good about letting you bring food into the ballpark.
No pants. No problem.
Probably the best thing about the Padres
is that you can bring in almost anything.
I should just buy some Carne, bring in a little hibachi grill and just make tacos for everyone.

Thats a tasty burger
Oh man, I do love me some burgers. Depends on what type of burger you want though:
-Nicky Rotten’s. My personal favorite. Since this is breakfast town, their breakfast burger is life changing. Its a bit big and you feel like you have a brick in your stomach though.
-Hodads-Great crunchy, tasty burger. A really good option since they have opened a 2nd location and you dont have to wait 1 hour in line at the OB one.
-Crazy Burger. Tons of options; and always solid. I’ve had a gator burger and boar burger there. Who’s feeling frisky?
-Five Guys/In-and-Out: Both are really good but Five Guys really likes to let everyone know that they are good. Did you know they have been in magazines? I get it.
Of course there is Rocky’s, Canadian Steak Burger (dont sleep!), and even Waterfront and the Bareback Grill have good options.

Also, I love the clam chowder in the sourdough bowl. They could start selling it at more than Anthony’s in the mercado and turn it into a signature item. It’s like $7 and it fills me up (I’m a morbidly obese ogre).

Okay, thinking realistically here…
Given the facilities and necessary turnaround time at the park, the options are limited. Burgers would have to be the thin griddled style, which really only leaves Hodad’s. I think NY style pizza isn’t going to work well either, and deep dish isn’t really ballpark food, so I’d stick with Filippi’s. Bring Rubios back for fish tacos (though now that they’re back to hand battering the fish, I don’t know if that works). They’re doing well with beer, but they need to spread it throughout the park, and include some more local breweries.
I'm thinking you'd serve the stuff up at like Western Metal
or at one of the restaurant style places. Also, nobody’s ever seemed to care about turnaround time before. I see those hot dogs boiling on the rollers. Can’t tell me it takes 2 innings to serve me up one of those.

but there needs to be more places in the park to get them. If it’s $8 for coors/bud light/urine and $9 for a craft beer, I’m getting the craft every time, but I don’t like having to walk halfway around the park to find it.

Stone comes from Escondido water. They could probably make it from TJ River water and it would still be awesome and better than Coors.

Then there’s always the process of trying to convince myself ahead of time that [insert whatever piss beer here] isn’t that bad.

It needs to be dumped on the “Avacado Highway” to be run over by rush hour traffic.

reminds me of an SEO consultant showing me his portfolio
He was like, “I got this website to rank number 1 for ‘avocado recipes’, ‘growing avocados’, ‘avocado’…” I was like, “what site?” He was like, “Avocado.com”, which is kinda like optimizing water to be wet.
I pretty much eat anything with hamburger meat and a bun, so...
I have no preference. If they gave away free burgers, those would be my favorite.

Crazy/ee Burger
Not saying it’s the best necessarily but they have some pretty unique/delicious options
You don't like avocado but you like mountain lion and armadillo.
It’s all coming into focus.
"When you find your way. Then you see it disappear."
I've had raw horse meat...
it’s similar, but different.
"The Internet?! Is that thing still around?"
Food Idea
I still want them to institute the 100 hot dog club. Eat a hundred hot dogs over the course of a season and get a pin.
doesn't seem like that hard to do.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
That's what I'm saying
I’d wear that pin with pride, though there’s no way I could get it in a season.
Over 1 per game
Imagine a 12 game homestand. It’d make me hate the taste real fast.
Why ask a failed romance to come watch your successful one? You know, that's like inviting the Seattle Mariners to a World Series game. It's just weird for everyone.
You'd definitely have to mix up the condiments.

Another food idea
Posted on Twitter: Cartons of milk after a loss. Like the Padres lose and you buy a carton of milk on the way out so you can drink it and complain about how hot it is outside and how milk was a bad choice.

so we can can all have chocolate milk farts by the 5th inning

It's hard to get excited about adding food to Petco based on local favorites
When whatever they put in is just going to be a marked up version of that food. Just feels like getting ripped off. I like it when I go to other parks and get local stuff since I may not have time to make it out to wherever those local spots are. Convenience cost. So should I think of this like I’m a San Diego tourist?
Then again, it’s probably worth noting that I rarely feel the need to buy food at the ballpark.

a big fat gross
carne asada burrito from any corner taco shop except Robertos
also, Karina’s Taco Shop in Leucadia makes good shrimp tacos/burritos and chicken tacos
Ceviche….I want ceviche – maybe mex style in a cup with red liquid
Chicks Natural rotisserie chicken
finally..maybe a weed shop with some delicious snack items
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
flavorless
there are so many better places in SD for carne asada

Turkey Leg
anybody use to get those at the Q? I was always down for 1 a year. Every year I would think about how good it would be to walk around eating a giant smoked turkey leg. Then I would get one, take 4 bites, realize it was not as great as I thought, and spend the 4-8th inning trying to get the cardboard like turkey meat out between my teeth.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Was it a batter dipped deep fried turkey leg smothered with guacamole and drizzled with syrup served with a fried snickers chaser?
"The Internet?! Is that thing still around?"
no, just smoked

As far as Hot Dogs go
My biggest complaint about them, is that the variety of hot dogs is not consistent in the park. You have your cheap ones, then you have the Friar Dog, and then you have the speciality dogs, plus the different sausages.
But I always forget what dogs I can get where, and some dogs I have to half way around the stadium to get. Which sucks since it takes forever to get to my seats from the plaza level.
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
What the hell happened to dollar hot dog night? Who's with me?!?!?
"The Internet?! Is that thing still around?"
There was nothing like 5 dogs loaded with mustard and onions and a nice adult beverage
"The Internet?! Is that thing still around?"
I actually liked the 5 for 5 deal.
get two of those for the kids and they were set for the game, Mom & Dad drank the sodas

The sonoran dog is really good and could become a signature item
It just needs to be renamed. Sounds like arizona dbags food.

It sounds like Arizona food because it is.
And it can’t be a signature food if they don’t start cooking the bacon properly. Too chewy right now.
Love Sonoran Hot Dogs
a benefit of living in arizona, can get a good one anytime

Some poor old Yankee fan from Staten Island is so confused……….that a city like San Diego exists.

Top 5 Burgers (to someone late to the party)
1. Hodad’s
2. Slaters 50/50
3. Burger Lounge
4. In N Out
5. Rockys

I was thinking Slater's 50/50 too but that's not really a San Diego food brand.
No pants. No problem.
Nor is In-N-Out.
Which leaves Hodad’s (YUM), Burger Lounge (overpriced), and Rocky’s (ain’t gonna happen).
SD food brand or not
In-N-Out is simply awesome. Rocky’s would be great too, but that won’t happen. Sadly never been to 50/50 or Burger Lounge.

50/50 is okay, not great
The idea is of mixing 50% ground beef and 50% ground bacon sounds better than it is.
triple blend for burgers.....
I’ve said too much already
"Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!"
Does it have to ONLY be in San Diego?
I would still put Slaters against anything Rocky’s has, and it isn’t even a contest.
Re: Burger Lounge, they do have the BEST TURKEY BURGER I’ve ever had in my life. Don’t know if that counts

Pizza Port deserves some love with respect to pizzas

Hear me out on this...I always thought it would be cool if Costco got the concessions at Petco.
They could charge like $8 for a hot dog, slice of pizza or chicken bake thing and $5 for a soda or a softserve with fruit – but if you had a Costco card you could get the Costco price and have a hot dog and soda for $1.50 and add a Churro for another $1. Put a membership booth next to the concession stand and just use it as a way to sell Costco memberships.

Also, maybe it's because social media is starting to take over, but I fcuking love that Garfinkel is making an effort to San Dieaganize Petco
At least they’re trying to improve the ballpark experience.

Best burger
My favorite burger is the county is Nessy Burger, the small stand next to the 15 on the 76. But like all good burgers they’re fresh and made to order which will never work at the ball park.
At baseball games in Japan...
you can bring your own beer into the game. If you run out of beer or didn’t bring yours, there are young ladies walking around with keg’s strapped to their backs. What they need at PetCo is a dude rolling around with a hibatchi grilling up burgers to order…he’d need a vegi and condiment buddy too.

This review and, more importantly, the pictures that accompany it, make it seem pretty unappetizing. I mean, look at that cheese! It’s not even melted!

I've gotta try it once
but the odds of me going “I’m hungry, let’s drive out to nowhere” are still super slim.
BTW… Speedway… f*ck. If it’s at the ballpark, it’ll have to be in 8 oz. cups.

Yeah. You do not serve pints of Speedway.
Though I’m told once upon a time Live Wire served pitchers of it.

I drank a whole bottle on Saturday
it was my 6th beer of the night.
Sunday sucked.

unmelted cheese...
Means it wasn’t under a heat lamp. At least that’s how it was when I worked concessions at the zoo. Fresh off the grill and melted cheese were two different things.
Cheese should be applied while the burger is still cooking so it melts.
A cold, unmelted slice of American cheese has no business going in anybody’s mouth.

My dad puts american cheese on graham crackers. WTF is that all about?!

The Jimmy
Jimmy’s Famous American Tavern has the best local burger…The Jimmy.
Also, for the heck of it:
Margarita—don’t know, don’t care
Pizza—Woodstock in PB and in SDSU area. Also, there’s a hip place somewhere in North Park that throws an egg on their pizza
Craft Beer—I love me some Woody
Guacamole—Haven’t been to a guacamole store lately
Tacos—I’m gonna say burritos here and argue for Ortiz’s in OB
BBQ—Phil’s Phil’s Phil’s
Issues
Margarita = Old Town Mexican Cafe/El Agave
Pizza = Bronx Pizza, don’t even go there
Tacos = El Indio – I like the pureness
BBQ = 1) Famous Daves, 2) Phils, 3) Bubbas

A lot of the Mexican places don't use authentic cheese.

I guess my problem is that I’ve never liked tacos, I’m a burrito guy through and through. Lucha has some just ridiculous burritos but its’ not my favorite. That honor goes to El Cotixan’s fajita burrito

Washington and India technically
right across the intersection from Gelato Vero.
I like the food at Lucha Libre although I can’t get their signature items (vegetarian) but the real draw is the general style of the place and calling in to reserve the Champions Table. It’s the perfect f-u to everyone waiting in line.
Tons of legit places use velveeta
The best cheese steaks use cheese from a can. What kind of cheese do you want them to use?
Oaxaca cheese
If you’ve never had queso oaxaca, then you haven’t lived life. It takes the best qualities of cheese and butter and puts them in one amazing package.
Whenever I’d make street tacos for friends, I’d use queso oaxaca.

Seven trades this offseason, some of them massive

hmmm
Well does one of you get out to more places and eat a wider variety of foods? Does one of you specialize in a certain type of food? I mean food is such a broad topic that each of you could be more qualified depending on the scope of the study. If its avocado’s or alcohol, sadly FF, It would make you less qualified.

Qualifications are: 1-Do you like food? 2-Are you a fatass?
If the answers to the above are both yes, then you are clear to proceed.
Ehhhh, I don't deserve a signature...
can number 2 really happen without number 1?
i mean im sure there might be that rare exception or maybe you became such a fatass that food now repulses you….anyways..I am clear to proceed!
