Founded in La Jolla in 2007 and now operating across California, Burger Lounge brings its grass-fed burger concept to 406 University Ave in Hillcrest's 92103 ZIP code. Diners who save room for dessert after a grass-fed patty walk to Extraordinary Desserts on Fifth Ave for layered cakes and tarts. The counter-service menu features 100-percent single-source American grass-fed beef patties, a free-range Shelton Farms turkey burger, and an organic quinoa veggie burger made with brown rice, zucchini, and garbanzo. Health-conscious guests pair their meal with a cold-pressed juice from LIV Juice Bar and Smoothies on University Ave. The chain's proprietary Lounge Bun — a blend of organic whole wheat and unbleached white flour with blackstrap molasses — anchors every burger build across all locations.
