Charlie Parker is DG (Damn Good!)
We met with Chef Charlie Palmer at his namesake restaurant at Bloomingdale’s South Coast Plaza on the eve of the opening of DG (Damn Good!) Burger to ask him fun 20 questions. Find out little known facts about Palmer: his dream to go to Scotland (“obviously not so much for the food”), he loved seeing Jay-Z in concert, and he’d be happy living in a tent with his four boys.
And be sure to stop by at lunch for a signature DG Burger with black Angus beef topped with cabbage, tomato, red onion and Chef Amar Santana’s signature sauce, served on a specially made semolina potato bun. Try some crispy fries served with tasty accompaniments such as curry ketchup, bacon mayo, roasted garlic sour cream and chipotle aioli.
On your burger for an additional $2, you can add a fried egg, grilled bacon, aged cheddar, or avocado; other menu options include citrus glazed skewers ($7.95) with grilled beef, chicken or marinated vegetables; grilled garlic sausage, roasted pepper on a semolina hoagie roll; two salad choices ($5)—mixed greens or chopped vegetables; and strawberry or malt chocolate shakes ($5).
Open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. DG Burger is at Charlie Palmer at Bloomingdale’s South Coast Plaza, with a special entrance in the Bloomingdale’s hallway. 3333 Bristol Street Costa Mesa. Dine in or place your order to go! 714.361.4264.
