Cheeseburger Week returns January 26th

Enjoy a gourmet cheeseburger specially prepared, grill top delicacies done the old-school way or stop by yuor favorite for a cheeseburger as we celebrate the invention of the cheeseburger. That's right, the cheeseburger was first created and served to a customer by 16 year-old Lionel Sternberger at his father's roadside stand, The Rite Spot, in west Pasadena in 1924. It predates Route 66, but The Rite Spot sat at the corner of Avenue 64 and Colorado Street (now Boulevard) just the other side of the Colorado Street Bridge when young Lionel was motivagted to place a slab of cheese on a burger. His customers loved it and The Aristocratic Burger: A Hamburger with Cheese became a staple at the Roadside Stand which soon becamse a full-service restaurant on the same site.

Find out who is serving what, including an amazing cheeseburger dessert item that looks amazingly like the entree (from The Terrace at the Langham) at www.pasadenarestaurantweek.com. Happy Burgering!

The Calgren facility now collects methane— a greenhouse gas that would otherwise escape to the atmosphere and contribute to climate change—from more than 66,000 cows at 10 area dairy farms. Renewable natural gas from the additional dairies will further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and displace more traditional natural gas.

From Deborah Laux and Roses Road: What is branding and what does it have to do with your business's success?Branding is your logo, colors, style/design that brings attention to your company/product. A strong brand look instantly communicates what joy/benefit/pleasure/security your customer could derive from your company/product. Every word that is used to create your company/product message must also be well thought-out, crafted, and tested to reinforce and advance your brand. I recommend a brand review to ensure you are connecting to your customer. Don't hesitate – please call me for a complimentary brand review.

The Ice House Comedy Club in Pasadena, California has been a favorite for comedians and stand-up aficionados for years. Now, The Ice House was recently recognized as one the Top Five Comedy Clubs in the country by researcher Dr. Peter McGraw and author, Joel Warner, writers of The Humor Code: A Global Search for What Makes Things Funny. With a star-filled roster of past and present performers, including Jimmy Fallon, George Lopez, Jay Leno, Bill Maher, George Carlin, David Letterman, Steve Martin, Bob Newhart, Lily Tomlin, Marc Maron and Dana Carvey, The Ice House Comedy Club has been singled out as one of the "best rooms" in the highly competitive comedy club industry. McGraw and Warner conducted a study from their own travels around the world exploring the science of what makes things funny. In the process, "We stumbled on an important question: What makes a good comedy club?" The researchers noted, "According to many of the comics we interviewed, a 'good room' is one that's dimly lit, densely packed, with hard chairs, low ceilings, a red curtain, and nothing at all that's blue."

Pasadena Celebrates Invention of the Cheeseburger at The Rite Spot in Pasadena in 1924 with Week of Delicious Eating January 26 to January 31, 2020

Restaurants throughout Pasadena pay homage to Lionel Sternberger’s invention of the cheeseburger in Pasadena in 1924

During Cheeseburger Week from January 26th to January 31st, Pasadena honors Lionel Sternberger's genius in being the first to put cheese on a hamburger and serve it at the Rite Spot in Pasadena in 1924. Forty of Pasadena's favorite restaurants, lounges and burger joints offer their signature burgers, some special creations and great deals during Pasadena Cheeseburger Week.

In 1924, as legend has it, teenaged Lionel Sternberger burned one side of a hamburger patty at The Rite Spot, his father’s roadside stand along Colorado Boulevard (then Colorado Street) in west Pasadena. Rather than throw away the spoiled burger, he masked his mistake with a piece of cheese and served it to a very appreciative customer. Word soon spread and customers flocked to The Rite Spot for The Aristocratic Burger, A Hamburger with Cheese. Sternberger’s achievement is the first verified instance of someone serving a hamburger with cheese to a customer.

Over the years, Sternberger perfected his Aristocratic Burger, much to the delight of customers at The Rite Spot. Sternberger’s culinary achievement has been documented by Hamburger America, the Los Angeles Times and even Time magazine in its obituary of Sternberger.

To celebrate Sternberger’s culinary masterpiece, Pasadena restaurants are offering specials, unique creations and the tried and true. Patrons can experience the Zacatecas Burger from El Portal and Yahaira’s, the Sliders or any of the Haus Burgers from Dog Haus and Dog Haus Biergarten, the Truffle Burger or Impossible Burger at Umami The Southwest Burger at Clearman's Northwoods Inn, or the traditional, and nationally recognized, cheeseburger at Pie ‘n Burger.

New participants for 2020 include Roy’s, Alexander’s Steakhouse, Smitty’s Grill, The Royce Wood-Fired Steakhouse at the Langham and Granville. Pie ‘n Burger, The Great Maple, Clearman's Northwoods Inn, Dog Haus and Dog Haus Biergarten and Roy’s are among those offering special prices and/or offerings created for Cheeseburger Week.

Patrons can experience a terrific burger experience, from top-of-the-line fine dining experiences to burger stands and lounges. Those wanting a variety of experiences can organize a cheeseburger crawl or follow one of the pre-planned themed crawls.

Information on venues, specials, cheeseburger crawls and more can be found at www.pasadenarestaurantweek.com.
