The Burger Bus (Santa Barbara, CA)

424 State St.

Trucking all around the heart of sunny Santa Barbara is The Burger Bus, a bright yellow school bus converted into a patty slinging street cart. Owned and operated by husband and wife duo Michael and Cheryl Gardner, The Burger Bus dishes out grass fed burgers with locally produced garnishes. The signature item: The CBJ (Cheeseburger & Jelly) featuring a locally produced apricot jalapeno jelly. Beyond delicious!

  • I do love a great burger, the school bus is a fantastic idea. Jelly on burgers is amazing, I've done it, well marmalade really, grilled is better. I like her "local supporting locals" mantra. Pickle chips sound yummy.
    Good episode guys.
