from http://www.burgerlounge.com/culture:

Grass-Fed Beef… Local Produce… Living Green… Modern Digs…

Beginning in La Jolla, 2007, Burger Lounge grew out of the idea that a hamburger should not only taste great, it should also utilize healthy ingredients produced in a sustainable environment. We provide a simple premium quality menu that appeals to health conscious diners, vegetarians, salad lovers and diners simply ”hankering for a great hamburger”.

The future at Burger Lounge is bright and forward thinking. As a fast growing restaurant start-up, we represent a new take on an industry that has long suffered from poor quality over processed food products and inadequate guest service. We implement these ideals and positive environmental practices as we open new locations in great neighborhoods.
