The Lusso Burger. Period.

I first tried the Lusso Burger around two years ago, and have since gone back numerous times. Nothing beats the Lusso Demi Pound Burger. Seriously.

The Lusso Demi Pound Burger in all its glory. US Beef with foie gras, prosecco onions and cambozola, thick-cut  Asiago french fries and a nice salad for sides. Pure bliss on a plate. Dude, this is the mother of all burgers...

Prime USDA Angus Ribeye. That's more than enough reason to drop everything and drive to Mamou for a steak fix.

Healthy Start: Looks healthy, tastes even better. The Healdsburg Harvest Salad had a nice sweet fruity dressing, drizzled with nuts and white cheese.

A Thousand Miles

More like 1,027 miles in two weeks to be be exact, including the numerous detours along the way.
