text: SkinnyFats is located in an awkward small office park on Dean Martin near Sunset with minimal parking and minimal space inside so if you are planning on a weekday lunch be prepared for a bit of a crowd and nowhere to park The restaurant is equally small but colorful with just a handful of two and fourtop tables and maybe ten seats facing a high counter along the window There are veggies and animals painted all over the walls with fun metal corrugated ceiling tiles It is a loud lively space and gets a bit hectic when it is crowded The menu has a healthy and unhealthy side both filled with quite a number of items for breakfast lunch or dinner On the healthy side you will see juices snacks glutenfree pizzas and sandwiches On the unhealthy side or happy side as they call it you have choices of shakes waffles snacks sandwiches and more There seems to be plenty of options for whatever you are looking for and I will certainly have to stop back in to try some morennSo as usual I came for one thing and in this case it is their Cheeseburger Benedict lb angus burger with lettuce tomato pickles cheddar avocado red onion fried egg and SF sauce What came out looked great but was kind of like the Rollin Smoke burger I ate a few weeks ago too damn large to properly enjoy There is something to say of the spectacle but the oversized assembly makes for a slightly inedible burger The moment I picked it up and gave it a squeeze I could tell the bun might be a bit dry The patty was sticking out from the edges of the bun so I was able to sample it on its own it was of good quality and cooked well The bun was indeed a bit too dry and on first bite a bit too thick as well but the burger quickly got messy so I saw the need for something with a bit more substance The egg had good flavor but got a bit lost in everything there was tons of cheese that had good flavor although some of it still was not melted by the time it got to my table The lettuce was prominent and proportionally just enough and the pickles were also good I knew the avocado was there because a few slices fell out but I could not taste it within the burger with all those other flavors mixed in If this burger was simplified and you could properly sample some of the intended flavors it could be really great but there is just far too much going on to enjoy this Does any burger really need a fried egg onion pickles avocado AND a sauce I guess many people would argue that this is what a burger is all about but for me it is a bit much Oh and as for that sauce I do not even know what it tasted like and for me that is the problemnnThe truffle fries on the other hand were really good almost all of them were cooked well and they were very flavorful I found myself eating them well after my giant burger was done Again I feel like I have to defend myself with my slight disappointment a massive burger is a great thing but when you add too many toppings they start to cancel each other out Maybe the solution is choosing only one or two of their offered toppings which could provide a slightly simplified and very flavorful burger For with fries this really is not a bad deal I just found it to be a few too many items piled together Still the menu looks great and all the food looks to be of very good quality so I will surely be back to try other items soon
