Way off the beaten path I know, but if you happen to find yourself in Portland, go to the Deschutes Brewing Company in the Pearl District and try the Yellow Belly Burger. Description as follows...
"Seared Coleman Ranch beef, root beer braised pork belly, jalapeno pesto, whipped goat cheese and candied yellow tomatoes on fresh baked sourdough roll"
Cooked to order, and medium was amazingly juicy, with just the right amount of pink still in the patty. Pork belly, marinated in house-made root beer was unbelievable. The wife said it was the best burger she's ever eaten, and I had it in my top 2 or 3. We both said it put the Alley Burger to shame, which I think is a victim of its own hype anyways. It's good, but the Spicy Chorizo Pork Burger at Dairy Lane/Blue Star is better.
