More than 35 cities and destinations in California greet January with Restaurant Week or Restaurant Month events. While most offer gourmet pizza, filets and three or four course meals,  Pasadena breaks ranks offering cheeseburgers.

Why cheeseburgers in Pasadena? In honor of the legendary cheeseburger king, Lionel Sternberger, who is credited with creating the first commercial cheeseburger at Rite Spot in Pasadena in 1924, the city celebrates Cheeseburger Week. For many of us, a burger is as gourmet as it gets!
