Since The Young Baker is attending UC Santa Cruz, I figure I’ll be spending quite a bit of time there in the next four or five years and I’m thrilled that she landed in such a beautiful place, surrounded by the Pacific Ocean and redwood forests in the midst of a eco-minded, artsy community. Naturally, I’ve been scoping out the local dining scene, from student favorites to fine dining.
This Week’s Obsession is student favorite Burger – where, you guessed it, nothing but burgers are on the menu, from grass-fed beef burgers to chicken, salmon, and vegetarian burgers. Pictured above: The Bada Bing meatball sliders with garlic (lots) fries.

My mouth stared to water once I saw that photo! So delicious looking! Yummy!
If I could I would go to that place right now LOL!
Loving it! I would have such a great time at this place. Looks like they have such a selection which I always love. Not to mention it looks like they really pay attention to what goes into the food they are serving. Loving it
There’s something called the Jello Biafra! On a donut! ha Talk about college food. Burger places are so fun because they try to be fun. You never know what you’ll see on a menu.
@The Duo Dishes – I saw someone eating the Jello Biafra and was tempted to ask if I could take a pic 🙂
That burger looks divine! 🙂 I toured UC Santa Cruz and the surrounding area as it was one of my choices for undergrad but ultimately I went with UCI. It truly is beautiful up there and it sounds like you’ll have a fantastic time getting to know the area more. Cheers!
What a fun place, and sounds like they have a great veggie or fish burger selection too…I am open to road trips FYI 🙂
Your daughter is lucky to have such a great, juicy establishment right around campus!! I go to USC and we still have miles to go in regards to foodie scenes.
wow That burger!!! I LOVE how comforting and delicious it looks!
