King's Row Gastropub Rolls Out 'Mars Rover' Burger for Cheeseburger Week

The Mars Rover and its team have gotten plenty of love from the science world, and now an Old Town Pasadena gastropub is immortalizing them in the name of Cheeseburger Week.

King's Row Gastropub (20 E. Colorado Blvd.) is unleashing the Mars Rover Burger, a combination of ground ribeye and chorizo adorned with a fried egg, cilantro aioli, pepperjack cheese and argula -- all on the eatery's house bun. 

"I thought doing a tribute to Pasadena's history of innovation with a burger would be a fun way to approach Cheeseburger Week," said Kings Row Executive Chef Sundeep Vohra in a released statement from the Pasadena Chamber of Commerce. 

Pasadena's Cheeseburger week will involve more than 40 eateries to celebrate Pasadena's place in culinary lore as the birthplace of the cheeseburger.

The fun, with crawls and all, starts Sunday. If you try the Mars Rover burger or other Cheeseburger Week offerings, share your pictures with us!
