"Also not quite a drive-in, Dad’s is another fun roadside stop on Highway One, a little further south in Half Moon Bay. Scott Clark is a former fine-dining star, but now he flips burgers in a train caboose. The details are in the ingredients: grass-fed beef, local lettuce, and white sandwich bread, served with housemade chips." - Becky Duffett
