Burger perfection in Carmel

Named after what Facts of Life Natalie dreamed about when not having uncomfortable visions of Jo Polniaczek‎ working on her bike the perfect temp to sear beef in a cast iron skillet, 400 Burger & Fries is a new gastropub in day-trippable Carmel Valley, where you'll want to immediately go and combo duck fat fries with the "Kobe": a premium beef burg with soused onions (marinated/sauteed in booze and butter), smoked cheddar, crispy potatoes, and 400 Spread.
