Short Order...
L.A. Farmer's Market 3rd & Fairfax....Short
Order.
Lots of fgourmet burger joints popped up over the years in L.A. ( any Angeleno remember Burger that ate L.A.?) but this one was got more notice than most. Short Order is from Nancy Silverton (of Campanile, La Brea Bakery, and Pizzeria Mozza fame) and Amy Pressman ( a former pastry chef at Spago). Previously if you wanted to make your own premium burger, you would go inside the same area of the Farmer's Market on 3rd & Fairfax to the butchers of Huntington Meats who has a mix of prime chuck and sirloin called the 'Nancy's Blend'. Since it's been opened, I have heard mixed reviews, some still say Umami and Father's Office is much better. Well, let's try it out...
Root Beer float, they use a good vanilla ice cream.....mmmmmmmmm, very good way to start a meal....
Their fries were excellent, you can also get it with truffle oil or sour cream & bacon dip sauce.
The Ida's Old School burger with cheddar cheese, pickles, lettuce, and secret sauce. The server recommended medium rare and all the burgers were cooked perfectly.
Patty Melt, this was really good! They use a house made pimento cheese that had a wonderful texture and taste.
Pickled watermelon rinds...not much watermelon flavor but wasn't overly sweet and went well with the Mac & Cheese.
A Mac & Cheese open faced burger. The bun that they use is from Short Cake next door and owned by them. It's light and one of the best parts of the burger. It may look messy but I would definitely order it again.
Service was mediocore and the outdoor seating got really windy as they faced the south side of the 3rd & Fairfax complex. Overall I would give the burgers a thumbs up, especially if you are a fan of Patty Melts. They had a shake on their menu that I wanted to sample so I might have to go back and order one. Haven't tried their bakery as Bob's Donuts is still the best place to get a sweet treat if you are at the L.A. farmer's Market.

Thanks for the recommendations! Have you done Bouchon's Ad Hoc fried chicken, it's pretty good. -MW
Does it come with a side order of Lipitor??
Yowzer, if I ate all that my readings would be in the teens!! Looks good though Thanks Julian
Not so sure about that
Not sure how that mac n' cheese burger would taste. Kinda intriguing but not sure if I would actually order it. But that patty melt sounds really good. Regards, ED-209
