The Summit: A burger for the wilderness



Highway 150 is a twisting two-lane road that runs from Santa Paula to Ojai. Tucked along side this mountainous route is The Summit, the only food stand for miles. But don’t worry, their burgers are big enough to sustain a trek through the wilderness.
This burger comes with a thick and juicy quarter-pound patty dripping with American cheese. The Summit also piles their burger high with shredded lettuce, tomato and pickles.
To add more flavor, the burger is dressed from top to bottom with Thousand Island dressing. Cheese and dressing just drip out of the sesame seed bun when you bite into it.
I recommend ordering a fresh berry shake when you eat this burger. It’s made with strawberries and has sweet berry ‘ vanilla taste to it.
Once you order the burger and shake you can sit down on a bench outside and enjoy the scenery. Tall green mountains and shady oak trees surround the burger shack.
This is not a burger shack where you can get a quick bite to eat, this is a journey. If you go with someone to this burger shack make sure they don’t get car sick because it’s a long winding road and they’ll never shut up to let you enjoy the scenery.
Driving to this burger shack should be a joy because there is a lot of great scenery. Highway 150 takes travelers through some of Ventura County’s more rugged back-country. There are numerous hiking trails that begin near the highway. If you have some time to kill you can take a walk to build up an appetite then make a final stop at the Summit before returning to civilization fat and happy.
