Inspired by the unpretentious, yet thoughtful<br />
grub of international gastropubs, this East<br />
Village spot is the local cornerstone of a<br />
movement toward casual, ultra-modern<br />
consumption. Neighborhood’s burgers have a<br />
fine, homogenous texture rivaling that of any<br />
restaurant in <strong>San</strong> <strong>Diego</strong>. Now, if only they’d<br />
bring back the mushroom Masala burger!<br />
777 G St., East Village, 619.446.0002<br />
Five Guys fiveguys.com<br />
These guys have bucked the big-business trend by keeping<br />
it real—despite having more than 600 US locations, the<br />
mega-chain has adhered to an always-fresh ideology that<br />
has driven the company since its first location opened in<br />
Virginia a quarter-century ago. Everything’s fresh, including<br />
the laundry list of toppings customers can use to customize<br />
their burger experience.<br />

Rocky’s Crown Pub<br />

Most pubs have a regular following of<br />
neighborhood denizens looking to knock back<br />
a few while brushing off the dust from a hard<br />
day’s work, but this spot enjoys a downright<br />
cult following for its lusciously greasy burgers<br />
that go down just as easily as the first sip of<br />
an ice-cold pint.<br />
3786 Ingraham St., <strong>Pacific</strong> Beach, 858.273.9140<br />
Encinitas Alehouse<br />

This beer haven has been open just over a<br />
year and has already created enough buzz<br />
to justify the claim they’ve staked for their<br />
“locally world-famous burgers.” A favorite<br />
among their North County coastal clientele<br />
is the 10-ounce Wagyu (Australian version of<br />
Kobe beef) burger with gruyere and gorgonzola<br />
cheeses and crispy onion straws.<br />
1044 South Coast Hwy. 101, Encinitas, 760.943.7180<br />
Public House opening soon at 830 Kline St., La Jolla<br />
O’Brothers<br />

The ideal of responsible eating is cool, but only when it resonates as well on the<br />
palate as it does with dietary dogma. Such is the case at O’Brothers at Horton<br />
Plaza, where everything is 100 percent organic, including not only the burgers,<br />
but also every topping and even all the beverages.<br />
