Learn more about farms and produce FOOD TRUCKS “First up are two food trucks that bang out delicious burgers: Mill Burn’s (Yakima) double smash burger that reminds us of a California drive-in classic and Chris Cooks Carne’s (Sunnyside) spicy Lolo burger and PB&J burger that delivers a ‘retro’ feeling.” DRIVE-IN STOPS “Yakima’s The Lariat Bar-B-Q (Naches) nails it with the very traditional, juicy, well-seasoned, extremely flavorful Lariat Bacon Cheeseburger. At Smitty’s Conoco (Yakima) yes, a gas station, the outrageously aromatic Paul Bunyan burger with ham, bacon and Swiss cheese ranks up there with any dinerquality burger.” RESTAURANT DINING “Choices that span from Selah to Prosser and deliver generous portions and mouth-watering goodness. We found the Bison burger at Outskirts Brewing Co (Selah) irresistible with a crispy bun, caramelized onions, silky avocado and luscious truffle fries. Provisions Restaurant + Market’s (Yakima) namesake burger, served beautifully composed and upsidedown, kills it with balance and pure beef flavor.” WaterFire Restaurant & Bar plays with perfection as their American Wagyu Cheeseburger is the richest and largest burger around, with tomato jam, white cheddar and garlic aioli. Wine O’Clock (Prosser) house-grinds meat for the American Wagyu Prime Brisket Burger, savory and unctuous, with melty, smoked gouda, bacon jam and garlic aioli.”
