Lumber Mill Bar & Grill - Review - Idyllwild - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Every decent mountain town has a crusty neighborhood bar serving cold beer, fried appetizers, and giant burgers that get your photo on the wall if you finish one. In Idyllwild, that’s the Lumber Mill. There are 13 burgers on the menu, from Juicy Lucy’s to a pineapple-topped Hawaiian, but your focus should be on The Bigfoot. It’s a one-pound patty with pepper jack and American, avocado, grilled onions, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and Thousand Island. It’s a monstrosity (split it with a friend, we won’t tell), but proof that people in higher elevations just know how to build a proper burger. Grab a side of corn nuggets and you’re looking at the best post-hike lunch in town." - Brant Cox
