Bussekin and burgers!

[Nuker]

Brother thread = Bussekin and guns!
Let's hear about your burger n' Busse experiences/adventures/tips.

I'll kick it off...
AGENT HOGS MULDER ( Mulder ) moved down from Alaska, to my neck of the woods, in the past couple months. Being new to the area, I thought he'd need experience one of the best burgers around.
The World Famous Jalama Burger. (CA)


I used to be a temporary help park ranger dude at Jalama Beach back in the day, and did a stint flipping burgers at the Jalama Beach Store. If you ever go camping at this beach, pack way less food than you think. The burgers and breakfast burritos are delicious.

Here's how it looks after you make the 14 mi. drive on Jalama Road, off Hwy 1, when you approach the County Park. Campground & store is down there at the bottom. Vandenberg Space Force Base is right on the other side of the ridge in the distance.


Here's Mulder and my buddy Agha, getting ready to grub. Agha hadn't had a Jalama Burger yet, either. Time for a real treat!
I tried to get Mulder to look at the camera, but he just wouldn't take his eyes off the knives on the table. He's got that trance-like, blissful "INFI grin" going on


After I snapped my fingers a couple times... "Dave, Dave..." he came out of the trance and was able to join us again. I was so glad to meet up with Mulder & shoot the sh!t. I was bound to meet up with him again though... as he let me borrow a Son of Swat to fondle & I had to get it back to him (he's a super dude). I'm happy to have picked one up for myself recently.

These burgers are stacked! The finely shredded lettuce, and secret sauce are the magic.

Since life here on the Central Coast is fairly suburban... there's not a ton of chopping opportunities. I knew there'd be some driftwood... and figured I better bring a couple choppers I've been waiting to try out.
I brought the WASP and Cliff Stamp's SHBM LE. Agha spotted a pretty good size piece of oak on the beach.
The WASP is a fair amount heavier & carries more momentum than Cliff's slimmed up SHBM... and the WASP really sunk in like nobody's business. But, Cliff's was no slouch either!


Thank you Cobalt and Lil' Foo

What a beautiful spot. I have to get down there for a burger sometime. The weather this fall here has been very warm. Took a long walk this afternoon up here in NorCal in a T-shirt today.

Congratulations on 2 legendary blades. They went to a good home.

Pro Tip: There's normally a day use fee (good til dusk). But if you'll only bop in and bop out... tell kiosk person at the entry gate, "Can I get a store pass?" They'll give you a (free) pass, to get validated at the store... good for one hour.

I would love to go there, but every time I cross into California, I get Hives. Some sort of bad reaction. So I can't go.

California is a study in politicians creating problems. Then those same politicians creating solutions that make the problems worse. It is an endless cycle of bad decisions that you might think is stupidity, but in reality it is on purpose.

It's great for a visit... and get a burger.
Great weather + no bugs definitely has its appeal.
