Possibly my favorite fucking burger in the city. The eponymous GCM burger. Must’ve have devoured that fucker more than a couple dozen times in the past year and a week or so.
i hear the 3rd st location has a fantastic fried chix sando. having just tried the “mother clucker” at the DTLA location, I’m assuming it’s an entirely different beast at Santa Monica.
also, prefer Belcampo’s lamb burger over badmaash. by a lot.
Just as an ode to TonyC, you should order your Belacampo Lamb Burger with salsa, American cheese, and avocado. Ask for the coleslaw on the side, however. Too messy otherwise.
belcampo may be vapid, but it’s distinctly sheepish. the badmaash burger tasted like lamb curry, previously chewed by toddler, and then griddled. if Umami made a lamb burger, badmaash probably would’ve been it.

… and now I think we’re all left wondering how you’ve come to the position where you had to consume food masticated by kindergartners.
Haven’t had either lamb burger, but I would hope they taste like lamb. I could barely taste that wonderful beef patty under the blanket of overwhelmingly sweet caramelized onion flavor in Belcampo’s cheeseburger.

in a severely anti-food waste household (with kids). we eat food dropped on the [very clean] floor, and sometimes, just sometimes, say… when a chunk of $19/lb belcampo pork rib is involved, i’ll eat it even if someone had spat it out. IDGAF.

i can see how that’s may be a issue to some. it’s certainly not nearly as bad as the FO burger, nor the atrociously drowned Petit Trois disaster – that thing is a like a burger ahogada salt bomb – but anywho. Belcampo, unlike PT, allows menu changes. Ask for the burger straight up: cheese, meat.
That’s exactly why I’m not a fan of FO’s burger and why I’ve been avoiding Petit Trois’ as well. And thanks, didn’t know Belcampo allowed changes; it seems like the norm nowadays for restaurants to deny any sort of substitution.
