We're looking forward to the upcoming opening of Oinkster, which will be taking over the space that formerly housed Jim's Burger on Colorado Boulevard in Eagle Rock.
Chef Andre Guerrero (chef/owner of Max Restaurant and Señor Fred is heading up this new joint specializing in sandwiches. We can't wait to try the pastrami, which we also heard will be a highlight. (Guerrero told the Daily News he wants to steal the local pastrami crown from Langers. That'll be tough. But if he pulls it off, more power to him.)
The spot sounds similar to one of our favorite Napa Valley eateries, the gourmet drive-in Taylor's Refresher (we can only hope -- yum.)
Add Oinkster to the increasing number of restaurants popping up on the Eagle Rock/Glendale-adjacent side of Colorado. While the more chain-style spots gravitate toward the Pasadena end of Colorado, the stretch closer to us now boasts Colorado Wine Company, Blue Hen and Fatty's -- already a favorite of Franklin Avenue. (Although Mike complained about the small size of his veggie sloppy joe last time we visited.)
