What I Ate: February 25, 2009 (Parcel 104)

Harold and I headed over to Parcel 104 (2700 Mission College Blvd, Santa Clara, CA‎ - (408) 970-6104‎) for lunch because they came up as a possible contender for best hamburger in the Bay Area. Harold and I both ordered their Harris Ranch All Natural Chuck Burger with Aged Cheddar and Fries ($15).

The burger was good, but not any better than any decent burger. The meat was quite tender and had a great mouthfeel, but unfortunately, lacked seasoning. The burger was served with melted cheddar, lettuce, red onions, pickles, and ketchup & mustard on the side. Harold and I both wish there was a more exotic or flavorful sauce to accompany the burger. It's certainly not a bad burger by any stretch of the imagination, but it's not better than The Counter.

For dinner, I heated up the leftover Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy that I had in the fridge and prepared a large bowl of salad.
