One of the things that I love about living downtown is there are so many great places to eat. I never get bored of exploring the city for new and different restaurants, but one place that is a special treat when I am in the mood for a burger is Bare Back New Zealand Burgers and ´Wiches Grill. This wonderful open air bar/restaurant is located on E Street between 6th and 7th Avenue in the Gaslamp District. I happen to really like the Kiwilango which is 100% organic beef, bleu cheese crumbles, fresh diced jalapenos, lettuce, tomato, red onion, hot sauce, aioli, BBQ sauce and topped with crushed tortilla chips. The fries are a huge serving of freshly cut potatoes with special seasoning and served with their sweet wasabi mayo and spicy red pepper sauce. Other appetizers include Kal Maori which is a freshly made batch of tempura calamari or the onion rings. If you are not into beef, they have a range of burgers made from chicken including a Meso Tasty – teriyaki grilled all natural chicken breast, swiss cheese, grilled pineapple, sweet maui onion chips, lettuce, tomato, aioli and spicy red pepper sauce.
