I've finally tried a Palena burger after waiting for my next business trip to DC to roll around (it's been over a year since I've been to DC). I use to come out quite regularly from Santa Barbara, but this last year my business travel has been much less frequent - which I don't really mind at all.
Anyway, I found the burger refreshingly simple and direct, just a fantastic burger cooked to perfection accompanied by some delicious homemade pickles (I really like the pickled cauliflower). I can't imagine a better burger, especially for $11!
I've got another trip scheduled in early December - I'm going to comb thru the postings to see where I might want to try next...
