YEE: Fresh Meat at Slater’s

Hello All,
Just wanted to say thank you to Katie B. and the rest of the LA East team that put together a great event for our 2014 class last night at Slaters.
The food was amazing and it was awesome to get to experience what being Unilocal Elite is all about.
All the burgers were outstanding, but my favorite flavor of the night was the bacon brownie with ice cream! Sooooo Good!
If I didn’t get the opportunity to congratulate anyone in the incoming Elite class, here is a BIG congratulations! We made it!
Please add me to your friends list and I will do the same so that we can keep in touch and enjoy each other’s reviews!
Thanks again Katie and Unilocal for the Elite Bling and I look forward to a great and Elite 2014 Unilocaling!!!
Bön Appetit!!!

Great Unilocal event. I was introduced to another great restaurant and people. Thank you so much for putting together this event for us newbies! Had a great time!

I had the pleasure of going to my first YEE at Slater’s, which I had never been (Slater’s) to for a foodie night.
My expectations were met, first off Katie arranged a private affair in this energy filled establishment, the vibe there is way/​mad cool. Slater’s has plenty of flat screens so you will not miss any sporting event visually because the angles are there. So, Patrick, our waiter for the night was fantastic, not because of the event, just because he is a customer service first type waiter. (i.e. I don’t eat yellow cheese and our samplers had a few cheeses on it, there was one burger that was a must have, and I politely asked him if I could order and pay for it myself, I assure you, within 5 minutes I had a fresh burger, no cheese, and he said «this one is on the house.») I have to say his promptness to my need was second to none, and I won’t forget this. Patrick, just because you were awesome energy wise I will bring friends and frequent Slater’s.
Now the food, my experience was awesome, the burgers were delicious, the bread selections for the specific burgers were on point. I have to say the signature Slater burger is to die for however the burger with PB&J has to be my favorite. I was thrilled to experience this burger after months of hearing of a PB&J burger, I finally had it myself, and will recommend.
Dessert — this was the ultimate, although I don’t do dairy, I had the Chocolate Bacon Brownie — OMJEEEZY — if you do anything, this is a MUST to have. If you are a bacon lover, it’s the right amount of bacon, and the brownie, as moist as it was, was like I say the ultimate dessert after trying a few burgers.
Overall-Slater’s ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ is the business, and Heather, the marketing executive, pleasant and requested all to follow on the social platforms which I will and definitely state the obvious, a well run business. Lastly, there is valet service which also is a plus.

First off, I like to thank Katie and the rest of the Unilocal LA East team for organizing such a great event for all the elite nubies.
Seeing how this was my first YEE, I wasn’t sure what to really expect. Slater’s gave us a somewhat private room towards the back of the restaurant. Our server greeted us and asked us what to drink. The first thing they gave us was an appetizer plate full of sweet potato fries, mac and cheese balls and beer battered jalapenos. They also supplied various dipping sauces. The mac and cheese balls are amazing and expect a food coma if you eat this.
Secondly, the burgers. The burgers were awesome. We were given samples of the PB&J burger, the original ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ burger, B B B Bacon Burger, and their special burger of the month, the Excesstacy burger. This burger is huge, and I had to split it in half to eat it. If I had to choose my favorite burger it would have the be the PB&J burger. The burger is different that any burger I’ve tried and enjoyed the peanut butter meaty taste. For dessert, we were treated to the chocolate bacon brownie. The brownie was so good, and the addition of bacon added a pleasant crunch to a moist brownie.
The service here was exquisite. Our server was kind, friendly and helpful. While my tablemate asked for a B B B Bacon burger without cheese, he politely told him that it was on the house. He also was very attentive and very descriptive of the various burgers that we were treated to. Once again, I like to that Katie and the Unilocal LA East team for a great night. Lastly, not definitely not least, I like to thank Slater’s and their friendly staff for hosting us and contributing to the awesomeness of my first YEE!

Thank You — Great event, great experience!

Thank you, Katie B., Nitar L., and Unilocal!You did a wonderful job putting together this event! It felt cozy and i got to make new friends. I also got to sample specialties from Slater ⁵⁰⁄₅₀. Great food by the way! We had exact number of tables and seats… Wow! How was that even possible?! Luck? Nah, I don’t think so.
Unilocal seems to be getting better organized and putting on better events! I’m looking forward to more of these events and visiting more great places trying great food!

Thank you Katie and Nitar! :)
I am so full and happyyyyyy! The Unilocalers below basically covered how great Slater’s ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ was, so I won’t repeat.

The food was amazing! Slater’s ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ was amazing! It was a really awesome event and it was great meeting most of the new Elite members.
Sorry, I didn’t get to say «Hi» or introduce myself to everyone. I would like to thank Katie B. and Nitar for organizing this event. I had a great time! And, also like to thank Nitar’s friend, the photographer.
Hope to see everyone again at the next event.

Wheeew, man am I full of yummy food!!! Thank you Katie and Nitar for putting on an awesome event! :) thanks for all the Unilocal and Slater’s ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ swag! I must say, I left Slater’s with an extra few pounds…
This is was my first time at Slater’s, but definitely not the last. We had a great assortment of burgers! I’m really excited that we got the chance to try a couple of their patties, from their all beef patty, ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ patty to their all bacon patty. My fav is the 50/​50, just the right amount.
It was great meeting everyone!

I can now say that I’m officially initiated as a new Elite after this event! When I told my mom where I was going, she didn’t believe me… so I brought her as my +1 (thanks Slater’s for being so generous: D).
Slater’s, the bacon lover’s paradise, spared no expense when it came to the tasting.
APPS:
* Fried Bacon Mac n’ Cheese Balls: Extra points for novelty, but really, these are soo good.
* Beer Battered Jalapenos: These were ok, but didn’t taste special.
* Sweet Potato Fries w/​pumpkin sauce: Fries were kind of limp, but the sauce is excellent.
BURGERS:
* The ⁵⁰⁄₅₀: You can’t go wrong with this one; the avocado keeps it fresh, and the egg is beautifully runny.
* B’ B’ B’ Bacon Burger: There is bacon in almost every part of this burger… need I say more?
* Peanut Butter & Jellousy: My favorite, the peanut butter reminded me more of peanut sauce and the jelly helped to tone the thickness of the peanut butter down.
* Excesstasy: I wasn’t entirely sure what was in here because so many things were going on, but THERE IS A GRILLED BACON CHEESE SANDWICH stuffed in the middle! But at $ 20, I don’t think I’d order it normally.
DESSERT:
* Bacon Brownie: Delicious! Candied bacon was sprinkled on top to give the brownie an extra oomph without being too over the top.
Slater’s also supplied us with a goody bag and really lively waiters. Oh, and I finally got my hands on a much-​coveted pair of Elite Socks! They’re so beautiful…
Thanks Katie and Nitar for organizing this event, as always. I had a great time!
