A Trip into the Burger Trenches

Mooyah

5365 Alton Parkway

Suite A2

Irvine, CA 92604

If you are anywhere near the intersection of Jeffery and Culver in Irvine and listen very closely, you can hear the sounds of spatulas being tapped on grills, ketchup bottles being loaded and made ready for battle, and you might also pick up the sound of knife blades cutting produce. Yes, these are the sounds of war, well a burger war anyways. In one corner, or in this case, shopping center, we have The Stand, which we visited recently, and you can read that review here. Across the street, we have another new to OC burger concept, and the one we would be visiting on this evening, Mooyah.

I had not heard about Mooyah until they started following me on Instagram recently. When I finally checked them out, I was kind of embarrassed by not knowing about them. They have 76 domestic locations open and operating in nineteen states. They also have quite the international presence, as they are slinging their burgers in nine different countries, with a good majority of those in the Middle East. I could be partially forgiven not knowing about them because they only have one other Southern California outpost right now, that one being in Monrovia. At least that's the story I'm sticking to.

Actually, this Irvine location has been open close to two years now and is situated in the same shopping center as Ralphs, CVS, and California Pizza Kitchen. This is a fast casual burger place, where you order at the counter, and the food is brought out to you after that. The concept here is that they want you to create your own burger, build it from the bun up. The menu above the register only has this option, but there's also another menu that lists some of their all-time favorites, for people that don't want to think too hard about putting their perfect burger together. Not sure why these are not front and center as well, but at least now you are aware of them. Other than burgers, Mooyah offers chicken and turkey burgers, salads, and hot dogs. Let's see if they are winning this burger war, based on their food.

These Half and Half Fries ($4.39) came out first.We were instructed when ordering that the medium sized fries would easily feed the three of us, and they were totally right. For a little variety, we got both the sweet potato and the hand cut fries. I'm not a big fan of sweet potato fries, so I left those to David and Katie, both of whom liked them, but were not wowed by them. I kind of had the same reaction to the regular fries here. I think they had a lot of potential, but they came out lukewarm, and not as crisp as I like. We got their spicy ranch and regular ranch dressing as dipping sauces, both of which were fine, but the spicy ranch was not very spicy.

Regular readers of this blog know that this was not my choice on this evening. Since the calendar has flipped to 2017, Katie has tried to become a little more healthy, so she gave Mooyah's Chicken and Avocado Club Sandwich ($7.29) a try. Instead of the multi-grain bun that this usually come with, she opted for the lettuce wrap option here, which did not look too flattering in pictures. This came with avocado, ranch dressing, bacon, and tomato included. Katie was not too enthused by this sandwich. She thought that the chicken was overcooked and dry, and there was not enough ranch dressing and avocado to moisten this up. She'd definitely get something different on future trips here. The price of eating healthier I guess.

David got something that your more likely to see at Mooyah, a burger. Both David and I got one of their all-time favorite burgers to try, and his selection was this Well D'Onion ($6.99). This one-third pound burger was topped with cheddar cheese, onions, grilled onions, fried onions strings, lettuce, and spicy ranch all on a potato bun. David's not the most voa=cal of my friends, but when pressed, he said he enjoyed this burger and would get it again. That's about all I could get out of the big guy on this evening.

I was feeling like I wanted to be heated up on this rather chilly night, so I got the Double Diablo Burger ($8.49). This burger topped out at a half a pound and was joined on the bun by some pepper jack cheese, Cholula, bacon, mayo, and jalapenos. Even though this burger failed to heat me up too much, it was delicious. I really liked the loosely packed beef here, which was seasoned well and was very juicy. The condiments were distributed evenly, and the bun held it all together. Consuming this burger got me excited about other burgers here, and I look forward to coming back and trying out their Six Degrees of Bacon Burger, or maybe I'll build my own burger.

As excited as I was about the burger at Mooyah, I was let down by this Full Count Hot Dog ($6.29). This was another one of their all-time favorite menu items, which came with plenty of American cheese, ketchup, mustard, onions, relish, and bacon. I should have listened to my golden rule about hot dogs, never order a hot dog with ketchup. Not to bad mouth you ketchup loving purists out there, but ketchup does not belong on a hot dog ever. At Mooyah they use Hebrew National All Beef Hot Dogs but I could not tell, due to all the toppings used on this one. The cheese really overpowered here, and the other condiments really did not help either. If the menu had not said that there was bacon on this, I never would have known. The bun was probably the best part of this, as it had a nice crunch to it, but remained stable throughout the short life of this hot dog.

So who's winning the burger war at the intersection of Jeffery and Alton? After just one visit to each, I'd have to say it's close, but I'm giving the slight edge to The Stand. I really enjoyed the hot dog better there, while the burger was better here at Mooyah. So the tiebreaker would be the fries, and I liked the ones at The Stand just a bit better, plus I enjoyed that they offer onion rings, unlike Mooyah. Mooyah offers fried crispy onion straws on their burgers, and those might be a great addition to their side item menu. Just a little hint. I thought the prices were pretty fair for the burgers at Mooyah, but the hot dog prices were all out of whack. My hot dog was nowhere near worth over $6, and a plain hot dog will set you back $4, while the chili dog is pushing $6 as well. Service was pretty strong here, as Dayana, who took our order at the counter, also brought out our food, checked on us regularly, and brought us out all the sauces we could ever want. It was a good night of catching up with my good friend David, and getting to experience the Great Burger War of Irvine firsthand.

Out of five pommel horses, (because the first Mooyah was located in Plano, Texas, ten years ago, and that city proclaims itself the gymnastics capital of the world, and the pommel horse is one of my favorite events), five being best to zero being worst, Mooyah gets 2.5 pommel horses.

Whichever Fork You Choose, Make Sure It Goes by Here - CLOSED

Two Left Forks

34212 Pacific Coast Highway

Dana Point, CA 92629

It has become a tradition that before the chaos of Christmas, we go out with Katie's parents to a nice dinner, just the four of us. It's become a nice respite from the craziness that I experience at work, the running around that we do on Christmas Eve and Christmas day, and the last-minute gift buying that we inevitably have to do every year. Last year we went the Italian route, but this year I scoured my list of restaurants to hit up and ended up picking one that I've been wanting to try for a while now, Two Left Forks in Dana Point.

Two Left Forks took over the space vacated by Tavern On the Coast in early March of last year. They are located just past where PCH and Del Prado split, and across the street from the new BevMo. Two Left Forks comes to us from the mother and son duo, Georgia and Stefan Andersen, who also own and operate the Hotel Laguna. They wanted to fulfill a dream to run a restaurant outside of the hotel, and when this spot became available, they jumped at it. They did not have to look too far for an executive chef to run the kitchen, as they tapped the Hotel's Executive Chef, Robert Hines to run the show at Two Left Forks. They feel this will be a bigger stage for his innovative cuisine, and a place where he will be able to bring the food here to an even higher level of culinary greatness. I have to admit I was intrigued.

We got here on a cold and rainy Wednesday evening and were met with a full and lively restaurant. The long and narrow restaurant is broken up into three parts. A pretty cramped bar area, an indoor dining space, which allows for glimpses into the very active kitchen, and then an enclosed patio, which overlooks the cars whizzing by on PCH. We were seated in a comfy booth, in the pretty loud indoor dining room. The clientele here on this evening seemed to be middle to late-aged people, out for an evening celebrating the holiday season.

Chef Robert's menu is divided up into small plates, appetizers meant for sharing, salads, vegetarian offerings, and main entrees. There seems to be a little bit of everything listed here, so finding something that you like should not be a problem. Prices for entrees range from $16 to $32, which did not seem too outrageous to me. Let's see if our lofty expectations were met on this evening, by checking out the food.

Right after sitting down, Katie was immediately drawn to this Crab Stack ($12), which was listed under the shareable plates part of the menu. Katie did not want to share too much of this. When the OC Register's Restaurant Reviewer, Brad Johnson came here, he said of that this appetizer was, "a beautiful reminder of the 80's". I guess this is in reference to a time when tall food was a thing, but we all loved this retro look, which was photographed beautifully. This tower was layered with mango, cucumber, avocado, sweet Thai cilantro, and of course fresh crab. It was surrounded by a pool of vinaigrette. Katie loved this, as it really let each item shine in its own right. The crab was really fresh, and the mango really came through in major flavor boosts, which made Katie's mouth happy.

Katie's mom Lynn went with the Roasted Beet and Goat Cheese Salad ($9) this evening, much to the chagrin of her husband. Katie's dad apparently has some deep-rooted animosity towards this red vegetable, which a few years of therapy might help cure. Lynn loved this salad, which also included spinach and tatsoi, candied walnuts, and a wonderful citrus vinaigrette. The flavors and textures worked well together and kept her entertained while consuming this salad. She'd definitely get this again.

I'm a Caesar Salad ($8) fiend, and this is one of the best I've had in a long while. A pretty traditional presentation here, it had the chopped romaine, shredded parmesan, herbed croutons, a crispy baked parmesan crisp, and a very tasty house-made Caesar dressing. What made this for me was the very fresh produce, the inclusion of plenty of cheese, and the liberal amount of dressing used here. My only gripe would be that the parmesan crisp could have been bigger, but that's the only thing I have in the way of a critique of this very good salad.

Entrees were up next, and we'll start with Katie's, Roasted Chicken Breast ($20). I usually shy away from chicken in restaurants, due to the fact that a lot of places overcook it, but that was not the case with this poultry at Two Left Forks. This bird was tender and juicy and was made even better with the well-done brown butter beurre blanc sauce. Katie was also a fan of the truffle risotto, which was not overpowering with truffle but had just the right balance achieved. Rounding out this plate was some roasted mushrooms and white asparagus.

Proving that Chef Robert could do seafood, just as well as chicken, Lynn ordered up this Local Halibut ($27). This halibut came with the same brown butter beurre blanc sauce that was used on the chicken dish. The fish came out nice and seared, with enjoyable flakiness to it. I liked the parmesan risotto that came with this, better than the truffle version that came with the chicken. The garlic spinach was good and garlicky, which is always a plus in my book.

Dennis is a real meat and potatoes kind of man, and lucky for him, both were offered on the same plate. This Grilled Petite Filet ($30) was called one of the better ones he has had recently, and I know he means it because he did not offer me any. The beef was accompanied by a veal demi glaze, which was used pretty sparingly, but no complaints from Katie's dad. This filet was joined on the plate by potato gratin and grilled asparagus, both of which won praise from Dennis, who claimed that this was a well-rounded plate, and one he would have again.

I don't order lamb nearly enough, and I wasn't going to let the opportunity pass me by at Two Left Forks. This Pistachio Crusted Rack of Lamb ($30) helped confirm my love of lamb. I was a little disappointed by the serving size of this, but it ended up filling me up rather nicely. The lamb here was not very gamey and ate more like a good prime rib. Yes, there were a few bits of fat included here, but I'm not averse to the fat, which is just extra flavor. I did not get a lot from the pistachio on this, but the self-named Robert sauce that came with this picked up the slack. The garlic spinach and the mashed potatoes were also pretty solid.

Dessert time at Two Left Forks and we went with two to split between the four of us. Kate and her mom selected the TLF Espresso Tart ($8). Admittedly, I'm not a big fan of coffee, so I was out of this dessert right away. This was made up of a cocoa cookie dough tart, with an espresso creme brulee, orange brandy espresso, chocolate cream, and a hot chocolate shot on the side. I did not get the sense that either Katie or her mom was wowed by this. The same held true when I tried the Banana Butterscotch ($8). The description of this had me very excited; banana Brulee, a flour-less chocolate cake with butterscotch mousse, but I was let down by this. I thought it should have been better based on the ingredients here. The chocolate needed to be a little more pronounced, and I wished for more flavor from the banana. I think I'm kind of over deconstructed desserts now. It's too hard to get everything in one bite.

With the exception of the desserts, I was pretty impressed with Two Left Forks. The food was pretty traditional but prepared very well, and everything tasted great. I'm definitely intrigued by their cod entree and their good-looking burger, but those will have to wait for future visits. Service was pretty stoic but professional. We did not really get the vibe that the management was very hands-on with guests, but their staff had things handled, so there was no reason for them to be. Two Left Fork is named this because they figure that when a diner sees two forks in a place setting, it means an extra special meal is on its way. Although this is not true in some cases, it's definitely true here.

Out of five vampires, (because the setting for the Twilight movies was set in Forks, Washington, and that movie included lots of vampires from what I'm told), five being best to zero being worst, Two Left Forks gets 3.5 vampires.

Hoping These Burgers Can Stand On Their Own

The Stand

5633 Alton Parkway #200 

Irvine, CA 92618

A new year and a new burger concept pops up in OC. There are a few things you can count on in life. Death, taxes, that it'll rain a day after you wash your car, and the fact that there's always a new burger chain ready to take a crack at the OC market. Last year we were invaded by Hopdoddy, Burger Boss, Burger Lounge, and others, while this year is already looking like we will get another round of new burgers to try. We are getting the ball rolling by trying out one of these new concepts, The Stand in Irvine.

The Stand has been opened in this Oak Creek Shopping Center, which is situated at the corner of Alton and Jeffery, for three months now. The Stand is not new, though. They have been in business since 2003, and have locations in Encino, Northridge, Century City, and Woodland Hills. This is their first spot outside of LA County and comes to us from Murray and Jason Wishengrad, the father and son duo, who also operate TLT Food.

While TLT concerns itself with serving chef-driven, California street food, The Stand is more into classic American diner food. It started out as a burger and hot dog stand, but the menu has grown over the years, which is a strategic business plan, to encourage customers to visit more times a week to partake in the more varied menu. Their menu now includes sandwiches, salads, and sides. More menu items seem like a novelty these days, but it looks like it's working with guests, as this Irvine spot boasts four and a half stars on Yelp. Needless to say, I had some high hopes for our visit here.

We decided to meet my parents here for a long overdue dinner of catching up. This 15-table or so restaurant was pretty lively on this particularly chilly evening. The space is pretty modern, with a video menu board above the register, and one along the side wall, where guests line up to place their orders. There's even a window into the kitchen so you can check out the handy work of the culinary staff. After your food order is taken, they bring it out to you when it's ready. Let's see how everything came out for us this evening.

When we had finished ordering our food, our cashier happily mentioned the pickles near the register and exclaimed that we could help ourselves to as many free pickles as we wanted. I'm not really too into pickles, but I took a few to try. They were a solid dill pickle, crunchy, but nothing earth-shaking about them, but hey they were free.

Our food started making its way out to us in waves, starting with the Stand Fries ($2.50) and the Onion Rings ($3). The fries were pretty good, although they could have been a little crisper and hot. The onion rings are the things to get here. The breading and onion underneath achieved a very delicate balance of not overwhelming the other. Not too greasy, and lighter than I imagined, these were a winner in my book, and they went well with the provided ranch dressing.

Not in the mood for a burger, and proving the point that The Stand is more than just burgers and hot dogs, Katie selected the Cilantro Lime Chicken ($8.25) for dinner this evening. The grilled chicken was joined on the bun by sliced avocado, arugula, red onion, tomato, and a cilantro lime aioli. Katie liked this sandwich, as the chicken was tender and the cilantro lime was understated, but still added some flavor bursts. She really liked the sturdiness of the bun, and the fresh produce used on this. She felt pretty confident that she's found her go-to item on her first visit here.

Next out was part one of my meal, the Big Red Chili Dog ($5.25). This big red is a quarter-pound spicy hot dog, and it did have a great pop of heat to it, which I was not expecting. Usually, when something says spicy on the menu, it registers just a little heat, but not the case with this tasty hot dog. Along with the nice heat, this also featured a good snap to the casing, which released a beautifully done beef flavor, which set the tone here. I had wished for a little more flavor from the chili, but the heat from the hot dog helped out. The bun was ply-ably soft but did a great job of maintaining its structural integrity. There was plenty of onion on this, but they needed to add more cheese to help push this chili dog to even greater heights. Still good, though.

I had asked about three employees what burger they liked most here, and they all said without hesitation, The Business Burger ($11.50). This stacked burger included a beef patty, porchetta, bacon, pickled peppers and onions, garlic mushrooms, and sweet chili aioli. I liked this burger, but I kind of expected a little more from it, with all the pork going on here. The garlic mushrooms and the pickled veggies kind of overpowered, and left the bacon and porchetta in the background. The bun was nice and toasted, which was a nice touch, but the sweet chili aioli, which kind of appeared to be mustard based, could have been applied with a heavier hand for my taste, but I love things to be a little saucier. I'd probably try one of their more basic burgers on future visits, like their ABC Burger (Avocado, Bacon, Cheddar), or the Onion Stack Burger.  Also, be on the lookout for seasonal specialty burgers when eating at The Stand, we heard good things about their French Onion Soup Burger.

My mom likes things pretty simple, and after having breakfast earlier in the day, my light-eating mother only wanted to try the Stand Dog ($3.75) this evening. She did get a little crazy by getting some mustard and relish on the side. They do offer a nice selection of free condiments for the build-your-own hot dog option, and then they have what they call loaded toppings, which range in price from fifty cents to a dollar. She enjoyed this basic hot dog, which featured a soft bun reminiscent of grocery store hot dog buns, but of a higher quality. Not sure who makes their hot dogs or sausages, but they were meaty and pretty solid. A thumbs up from mom.

Our last entree, with an assist from my dad's excellent hand modeling, was the Ultimate Egg Burger ($9.75). This breakfast-inspired burger utilized a very runny fried egg, bacon, American cheese, pickled pepper and onions, and the sweet chili aioli. This burger was very satisfying and filling for my old man. He could only manage to finish three-quarters of it, but I obliged by finishing the rest of it off. I liked this burger more than mine, and would not hesitate to get it next time, but I might sub out the sweet chili aioli next time, for maybe mayo, ketchup, or the cilantro lime aioli.

The guys behind the counter really talked up the brownies here, as I guess they are made on the premises each day, so we had to give the Brownie Sundae ($5.25) a try. They do not use ice cream here but instead use frozen custard, which I'm kind of leery of. I'm definitely more of a fan of ice cream. This sundae was just the right size for the four of us, after eating our meals. I liked it, but felt it needed more frozen custard, as the brownie to frozen custard ratio was off, which lead to intense spoon fighting between the four of us. The brownie was good but did not stand out, and a thicker hot fudge would have made this even better. It was almost the consistency of chocolate syrup.

The Stand is definitely a welcome addition to the neighborhood and is a good option for people that want a burger around this part of town. I'm not sure this is a travel-worthy restaurant based on this visit. If I had to rank this place against their other burger competitors, I'd say they are way better than Burger Boss, on par with Burger Lounge, and not as good as Hopdoddy. Just my opinion, and only based on this one visit. The service was very good, and the employees were very active going through the dining room and making sure everyone was doing alright. I thought the prices were more than fair here, especially based on the neighborhood. Now that the calendar has turned to 2017, it'll be interesting to see how many new burger concepts come around this year.

Out of five joysticks, (because the biggest non-academic employer in Irvine is Blizzard Entertainment, a maker of video games, and the last time I played video games, a joystick is what I used as a controller), five being best to zero being the worst, The Stand gets 3 joysticks.

Birthday Dinner at Javier's

Javier's

536 Spectrum Center Drive

Irvine, CA 92618

A lot of times I have a preconceived notion of a restaurant before I even walk through its doors. Whether it's because I've read online reviews, seen it in a newspaper or magazine, or heard about it from word of mouth, it's hard shutting out those mitigating voices that I have running through my head. This was definitely the case when we were invited to celebrate my aunt Hiroko's birthday at Javier's in Irvine.

To be truthful, I had eaten here one other time, long before I started this blog. I was not too impressed with that visit, but every time I've come back to the Irvine Spectrum since I'm always amazed at the crowds waiting to be seated out in front of the restaurant. It got me thinking that maybe I should give this restaurant another shot. Maybe I caught them on an off night. So, as much as I could, I went into this celebratory evening with as close to an unbiased opinion as I could muster.

After a little research, I learned that there actually is a Javier. Javier Sosa Sr. opened up his first Javier's in Laguna Beach in 1995. That location closed 13 years later, but they now have four other operations running, this Irvine spot, along with one at the Crystal Cove Promenade in Newport Beach, one in the Aria Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, and even one across the border in Los Cabos, Mexico. Some pretty impressive locations.

Javier's can best be described as an upscale Mexican restaurant, in a night club environment. We were seated in the darkened main dining room, which had a lighted faux tree in the center of the room, with club music being pumped through the sound system, at a little too loud of volume. It was pretty hard to hear our waiter and vice versa. He had nearly every member of our party repeat their order at least once. The menu here is pretty large, with many combo plates and entrees to choose from. Entrees range in price from $22 to $65, which is for a steak and lobster version. My uncle was going to be buying our dinner on this evening, so I'd have to forgo this surf and turf plate. Let's see what we did end up ordering.

When we were sat at Javier's, we were brought out their Chips and Salsa. The chips here were crisp and very fresh. The salsa had a tiny kick to it, but what I liked most about this was its texture. It appeared to be a little thin at first glance but had some decent chunk to it when placed on the sturdy chips.

My favorite appetizer in Mexican restaurants is Queso Fundido ($12), so I had to try this one from Javier's. This one is made of Monterrey jack cheese, with mushrooms, onions, and pasilla chilies, and was then topped with chorizo and chipotle chilies. With all of these big flavored items, I expected more from this. It really fell flat. The chilies kind of got lost here, and there was not nearly enough chorizo. I was also a little leery about them serving this on a plate, since it's way better when this comes to your table in a skillet, with the cheese nice and bubbly, and the outer cheese forming a slightly harder crust, which is one of the best parts of this starter. Not awful, but we'd skip this next time.

Entrees came out pretty quick on this evening, and the first to hit the table was this Enchilada, Tamal, and Taco ($19). With this meal, you get to choose from a cheese, chicken or beef enchilada, and you also get to select from a beef or chicken tamal and taco. I'm not sure what my cousin Chris went with here, but he liked this well enough. It also came with refried beans and rice. No complaints from the big guy with this plate.

Here's a quick shot of the birthday girl's meal, the Enchilada and Taco Combo ($17). My aunt Hiroko had the beef taco and the chicken enchilada. She was quietly pleased by this meal, and when pushed about how she liked it, she claimed it was fine. Not exactly glowing praise.

I'm really sorry for the lackluster pictures on this night, not only was it pitch black in this restaurant, but I was trying to snap pictures real quick so my family could enjoy their meals. This was Katie's dinner on this evening, the Chicken Fajitas ($23). The adobo marinated chicken was joined on the plate with onions, pasilla chilies, and roasted tomatoes. This also came with sour cream and guacamole so you could make your own tacos with the provided corn tortillas. Katie stated that this was a pretty average fajita plate, but it did not knock her socks off. The chicken was tender but really needed more seasoning. I was a little-taken aback by the fact that this did not come out on a sizzling skillet. I thought a restaurant like Javier's would have liked to serve this with the oohs and aahs of a steaming platter.

I always feel that carnitas is the best barometer for how a Mexican restaurant measures up, and that's why I had to get the Carnitas ($22) on this night. The menu states that these are served Michoacan style, which I assume means that they are served in two big hunks, just like these were. The pork was tender, but there was nothing behind it. The swine was greasy, which is fine, but if there's grease, there's usually flavor, but that was not the case with this. The provided green salsa provided a small burst of flavor, but not enough of one. The refried beans were not very good, as they were runny, and had a more soupy feel to them, rather than the thicker refried beans I'd prefer.

We had all made the decision to get ice cream at Haagen-Dazs after dinner, but they had told the waiter it was my aunt's birthday, so they brought out this Flan ($7). Not a bad version, as it was not overly sweet, like a lot of flans tends to be. The caramel could have been more prominent, but this was free for her birthday.

I'm still wondering why people enjoy eating at Javier's so much. We have been back to the Irvine Spectrum a few times since this visit, and the crowds are still waiting in front of the restaurant. I think a lot of it has to do with the atmosphere here. I get that its hip, and they have some good margaritas, and it's the kind of a place people want to be seen, but I don't get the love of their food. I'd describe their cuisine as soulless Mexican food. There's nothing behind it. It's not awful, but there are no pops of flavor included here, and everything seems to fall flat when consumed. My one last gripe with Javier's is the price and serving sizes of their food. There is no way that Katie's fajitas should have been any more than $15 with the amount of chicken that they included here. There was plenty of pork included with my meal, enough for three tacos, but how about some rice to go along with the below average beans. I can honestly say that I came to Javier's with an open mind, but after our experience with the food on this visit, it will probably be the last time we come back here.

Out of five hot fudge sundaes, (because that's what I had after eating here), five being best to zero being worst, Javier's gets 2 hot fudge sundaes.
