Nom Burger--Sunnyvale, CA (High-end Burger joint)

There is finally a place that puts together a well-crafted, interesting burger. For many years I was put off from ordering burgers because each time I did, the meat would be overcooked, dry, stringy and/or under seasoned. Located at 251 West Washington Avenue, this is a specialty burger joint that makes really good burgers.

Using only the finest, locally sourced, antibiotic/hormone-free, sustainable meat, this place grinds their meat fresh every day on site. When it comes to having pride in something, the key is in the details. Details like baking their own brioche buns using preservative-free dough and using organic, local cream for their milkshakes. I appreciate the extra effort and it definitely shows in the presentation and the flavor of their food.


Here are some of the things I've enjoyed.

Fully Loaded Tater Tots. Everyone's favorite type of potato was fried until crispy, then topped with bacon, smoked white cheddar, extra sharp cheddar, sour cream and chopped green onions. This was excellent food to share and pair with beer and a burger.






#DATEGGDOE. This might be one of their most Instagram-worthy burgers. Their all-natural beef patty was topped with an egg cooked with parmesan cheese until crisp along the edges while still maintaining that highly-prized and sought-after runny yolk. All of this was topped with pickled jalapenos, pancetta, green onions and garlic aioli. Very eye catching and tasty.




Burger of the Month (July): Red, White & Blue. Their perfectly prepared all-natural beef patty was topped with a Maryland crabcake, and served with Cypress Grove Midnight Moon goat cheese, fresh red bell pepper, lettuce and a housemade remoulade sauce. This was a very well thought out burger that satisfied all my cravings for beef, seafood, cheese and crunchy fresh veggies.



The sides, milkshakes and burgers of the month make Nom Burger a destination to treat yourself (at least once a month). I look forward to returning and trying their other offerings.
