Why they rate: Bacon lovers, take note! Slater’s 50/50, a small restaurant chain in San Diego and Orange counties, is known for its patented burger that’s 50 percent beef and 50 percent bacon. Now the San Diego-based Jensen Meat Company has been licensed to bring Slater’s 50/50 burger patties to grocery stores. The frozen patties will be offered in 2- and 4-pound packages with six or 12 individually quick-frozen 1/3-pound handmade-style patties.
