Chow On $1 Burgers From This Gourmet Butcher All Day Tomorrow
Get your burger fix tomorrow for a only a buck with a sustainable version of a Big Mac.
Just in time for Labor Day Weekend, Belcampo Meat Co.—known for their quality cuts of humanely-raised meat and knockout burgers—will be serving up a killer deal on their Fastburger all day Friday. For just $1, you can score a "drive-thru style" 3 oz. grass-fed beef patty, topped with house-made American cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion.
In an event they're calling "The Big S'Mac," Belcampo's W. 3rd St. location goes hoof-to-hoof with the Big Mac, offering a sustainable rendition of the drive-through classic for much less than you'd the one you'd find beneath the golden arches. The burger features meat from their own farm up north in the Shasta Valley, and utilizes beef trim—as opposed to more premium cuts for their regularly priced burger—which helps to maximize their use of as many cuts of the animal as possible and reduce waste.
The Fastburger—ordinarily priced at $5, or $8 if you want a double patty—will be available for $1 only at the W. 3rd St. location tomorrow from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The rest of their menu selections will be available at regular prices, and we definitely recommend that you grab an order of beef tallow fries, too, because... well, just do it.
Belcampo Meat Co. is located at 8053 West 3rd, Los Angeles, CA 90048, (323) 937-0170.
