Late last year we saw a public parklet come to Coffee Shop in Downtown Walnut Creek taking over a couple of parking spots and now a new dining patio has opened in front of 54 Mint Il Forno and the wine bar Residual Sugar, just in time for the great weather we’ve been having. Yeah!

George’s Giant Hamburger, located in the Terrace Shops center on Newell Ave. in Walnut Creek has a new owner who has applied for an alcohol license to serve beer and wine. Some other changes are the inclusion of new menu items such as the Bulgogi burger, made with thinly sliced rib eye steak marinated in sweet soy sauce, as well as a chicken salad sandwich. They also now accept credit cards. The meat is still ground on-site daily like it always has been for the past 30 years. Check out their menu here and Facebook page here.

Sunvalley Shopping Center, Concord
Earlier this year we learned that Dojo Ramen Bar would be coming to Sunvalley Shopping Center in Concord in their new food court area but when I stopped by recently the signage has been removed. The “coming soon” page is still up on the mall directory so hopefully they’ll still be opening…

It’s been several years since the last favorite burger FQotD post. A lot has changed since then as restaurants like Roam, Mona’s and plenty more have opened. This week Burger Lounge opened in the Orchards shopping center in Walnut Creek, located near the second Mona’s and Evie’s.
A Corners Tavern burger still ranks up there as one of my favorites. With all these choices available, where is your favorite spot to grab a burger?
