This is a new typification for me.

Signs abounded: don’t park here. They’ll tow you away.

I was about to experience the seemingly “best” burger in Sacramento (Fornicalia), the capital of the state.

My troops had pre-warned me: don’t get there a minute after 11 AM. We were pretty much on time and still managed to pull off 4 of the 12 seats extant in the entire building. I later discovered that to acquire a seat at the counter is a major coup.

But more: the entire business is about 20′ X 15′. The structure looks as if its been there since 1954. The menu is limited. Bring your hunger. But if you’re anything but a carnivore looking to die, the Squeeze Inn is not for you.

The cook takes the beef patty and splats it onto the small griddle. Upon that patty he places about a pound of shredded cheese. A huge amount of cheese. On top of that he smacks a top bun and then places over it a metal cover. He cuts the patties into fourths and then delineates the cheese borders.

You receive your burger stuffed with beef, extras, and a massive flat panel of cheddar cheese.

The fries are likewise exquisite. They are more like plank fries than fries you’d likely expect.
