Father’s Office

fo-1.jpg

Last night was particularly gloomy and nothing sounded more satisfying than a trip to Father’s Office.  I’m not talking about your dad’s stuffy den, but arguably the best burger joint in L.A.  They specialize in a signature hamburger (seriously, no substitutions allowed) that’s topped with an onion compote, arugula and infused with Maytag blue cheese.  It’s hard to imagine a better way to start the weekend.

First time commenter, but you’re talking about L.A. burgers so I had to get in the mix:
That signature burger sounds/looks amazing. As do the fries. I can not wait to come home to L.A.! Though my personal favorite is The Apple Pan, I think I will definitely be popping by Father’s Office a few times.

are those herb-seasoned fries? counting minutes to lunchtime in the office has never been harder!

3 Slices of Beauty { 05.29.09 at 2:41 am }

Yummy, yummy!

6 Carla { 05.29.09 at 4:41 am }

It’s a shame that it’s faaaaaaaaar away from Spain ;)
Love your headband!

7 Linh { 05.29.09 at 4:45 am }

Just read about their burger in Food Network Magazine! Looks yummy.

8 PS~Erin { 05.29.09 at 4:50 am }

Good on you for thinking to push the gloom away with a trip to a burger joint. That would do it for me too. A good cheeseburger probably makes my list of top five favorite things! And those frieds… Yum-my!

9 Ritika { 05.29.09 at 5:18 am }

yep, i want to have it right now, and that head band is sooo gorgeous.

10 Cari { 05.29.09 at 5:27 am }

Yummy looking fries. Cute headband! What type of blazer/sweater are you wearing? xo Cari http://isnotfashion.blogspot.com/

11 Najeema { 05.29.09 at 5:27 am }

Goddamn, that sounds amazing. I’m so jealous right now.

12 TFH. { 05.29.09 at 5:32 am }

This. Looks. Amazing!

I love a good burger to kick off a weekend. Yum!

13 Maria { 05.29.09 at 5:43 am }

nice fries :)

14 L { 05.29.09 at 5:55 am }

I have a bunch of LA friends out here that have mentioned this place. Is this one in Culver City? I am recognizing the bread sign, but I wish I’d known it was there when I visited last fall! Looks and sounds delicious!

15 Lauren From Texas { 05.29.09 at 5:56 am }

Oh my gosh. Now I HAVE to have a hamburger and it’s not even 8am. :) haha. happy weekend!!

16 Vivian { 05.29.09 at 5:57 am }

Yum yum!! Definitely better than just sitting in your dad’s office, ha.

LOVE the headband!! Have a fun weekend xx

17 dayna stephanie { 05.29.09 at 6:00 am }

Those fries look HEAVENLY!

19 Melanie { 05.29.09 at 6:27 am }

YUMMMM! I’ve been meaning to go there forever!

20 thebeautyfile { 05.29.09 at 6:30 am }

yum…there is nothing better than a burger, fries & a cold, dark beer…especially w blue cheese crumbles!

21 gina { 05.29.09 at 6:31 am }

cute headband!

22 Amber Eilert { 05.29.09 at 6:34 am }

oh my…those fries might brighten even the gloomiest of days! Looks like a fun + tasty place (and I like anything with blue cheese). xo

23 Paulette Ink. { 05.29.09 at 6:35 am }

You skinny little thing…how DO you get away with it? Love your intermittent restaurant reviews! :)

24 Helen { 05.29.09 at 6:36 am }

Sign me up for that basket of fries!! Ride out the gloom, Emily … the weekend will take care of it. xo

25 kim { 05.29.09 at 6:42 am }

Don’t forget to tell them how much the burger costs!! ;)

26 underfunded heiress { 05.29.09 at 6:56 am }

Been to the one in Culver City. Loved the fries. I’m a vegetarian so I was disapointed that they didn’t offer a veggie burger.

27 CashmereLibrarian { 05.29.09 at 7:13 am }

OMG. I used to live near the one in Santa Monica. There’s many a Friday night when I say to myself, “I’m so hungry for a burger at Father’s Office!” Sadly, it’s now 2,000 miles away. Sigh.

28 Lauren { 05.29.09 at 7:27 am }

Those fries look amazing…I am a bit too picky to want the burger but maybe the deliciousness of that place would make me expand my horizions. I love your food posts as much as I do your fashion posts!

29 The Lil Bee { 05.29.09 at 7:41 am }

I love the shot of the beer! And the fries look delish. Have you ever been to Burger Joint in NYC? I think you’d love it:) Happy weekend, munchkin!! xx

30 Carolyn { 05.29.09 at 7:51 am }

What does it say about me when the pic i’m most drawn to is the beer?

31 cindy khor { 05.29.09 at 8:11 am }

nice looking burgers, and burgers are what reminded me of basking in the sun while munching on them… their curly fries looks nice

32 Monika from Young Damsel { 05.29.09 at 8:11 am }

mmmm! erverything looks delicious, and now i’m craving a juicy burger!
you are stunning, may i add! that headband is gorgeous!

xx

33 Budget Babe { 05.29.09 at 8:16 am }

i’m with carolyn, that beer looks mighty good right about now….love your headband too!

34 Diabolina { 05.29.09 at 8:23 am }

I remember the first time I had a Father’s Office burger and the shopping cart of fries – changed my life. Love the Culver City option now too.

37 Melissa { 05.29.09 at 8:53 am }

Anything with arugula and an onion compote wins my vote! Looks so yummy…

38 Lexie { 05.29.09 at 9:03 am }

i LOVE blue cheese hamburgers. omg. so delicious.

39 frances { 05.29.09 at 9:05 am }

this is making me sooo hungry, and i’m a vegetarian. x

40 Lyndsy { 05.29.09 at 9:15 am }

Delish! I had my first burger a month ago. I love their selections of beers! And the fries, get out!

41 steph { 05.29.09 at 9:31 am }

That’s so funny, I was supposed to go to Father’s Office yesterday, but ended up going to Alibi for some Koji tacos instead. Did you go to the one in Culver City or Santa Monica? Next stop has to be The Counter – not as nice as Father’s Office, but definitely amazing burgers. =)

42 Nicole { 05.29.09 at 9:35 am }

YUM! I am so hungry now!

43 Kelley {Kosmopolight} { 05.29.09 at 9:45 am }

Yummy! I’ll have to check this out when I’m in LA.

44 casey { 05.29.09 at 9:49 am }

wow that looks amazing. ill definitely have to make a stop there.
your hair looks unbelievably cute even when you’re eating burgers!!

45 Jen { 05.29.09 at 9:56 am }

Oh geeez Emily, those fries look TO DIE FOR. I’m sad there’s no where like that where I live! I’m craving everything in your pictures right now.

46 Carol { 05.29.09 at 9:57 am }

That looks so good!

47 The Style Rules { 05.29.09 at 10:14 am }

ohh hamburger + blue cheese = always amazing. I totally want to try this place out now! xo

48 Nicole Marie { 05.29.09 at 10:15 am }

umm those fries look amazing!!! i think french fries are my number one food.

49 Meream { 05.29.09 at 11:04 am }

Haha what a great name for a burger place. You look like youre enjoying it.

50 Chelsea { 05.29.09 at 11:10 am }

I’m sure it’s been said, but I really like your headband!

52 Chelsea { 05.29.09 at 11:19 am }

Don’t think my previous comment went through…
Those pics make me want to drive there right now. Also, thanks for educating this little LA newbie to restaurants that always look great!

53 Cafe Fashionista { 05.29.09 at 11:35 am }

I haven’t eaten all day; thus, I’m hungry – for both that food and your headband. :)

54 Absolutely Not Martha { 05.29.09 at 11:56 am }

funny–my daughter was CRAVING a burger like this last night. unfortunately, but expectedly, she’s not satisfied with mine.

55 The Socialite { 05.29.09 at 12:01 pm }

Yum! I have yet to try this place, so I will put it on the list! :)

56 Rachel { 05.29.09 at 12:07 pm }

Mmmm!! I love that outfit even more though!

57 tiffany { 05.29.09 at 12:09 pm }

i’m not a big meat eater but sometimes you just have to have a really great burger. those fries look yummy!

58 graceful nichole { 05.29.09 at 1:18 pm }

You are so stinking cute! How do you stay so thin! Your food posts always make me drool!
I’m a vegetarian, so it’s just the fries and beer that got me this time…
You’re the one that made me go after french macroons in San Francisco! :o P

59 Rachel (Heart of Light) { 05.29.09 at 1:37 pm }

Oooh. You went to the new one.

60 Melissa { 05.29.09 at 1:42 pm }

65 Anne @ The City Sage { 05.29.09 at 4:28 pm }

I’ve yet to find a good burger place here in SF—my favourite in New York was Shake Shack, and nothing seems to compare out here! But THAT looks like a gorgeous burger indeed!

66 Carissa { 05.29.09 at 6:12 pm }

looks yummy! I’ve never been to Father’s Office but sounds like a must try. though I am so picky, so “no substitutions” doesn’t always work for me! but I’m sure the menu has lots of other delish items…

67 J. Rene' { 05.29.09 at 6:29 pm }

My favorite way to start a weekend!!

68 Haute Whimsy { 05.29.09 at 7:07 pm }

I’ve never heard of this place! I think I have a weekend mission!

69 KH { 05.29.09 at 9:38 pm }

I love their fries but the burger is overrated. And the place has too many hipsters

70 fashionispoison { 05.30.09 at 12:05 am }
