RIPON – It’s a classic burger at the downtown Ripon Roadhouse sure to leave egg yolk running down your fingers and hands with the first bite.The restaurant is located in the 100 block of East Main Street where it occupies the legendary and historic Odd Fellows two-story red brick building that once made headlines when a skeleton was discovered in its upstairs – a skeleton that had once been used for the initiation of new members.Chef Dennis Fang, whose brother Isadore owned the restaurant of the same name in Manteca, displays his passion for creating the best and probably largest burger imaginable. His creation includes cheddar cheese, Aioli sauce, sautéed mushrooms and onions, topped with a single, large onion ring and a fried egg. The mushrooms and the onions are placed inside the onion ring soon to be immersed in golden, runny egg yolk.Along with the burger presentation are San Francisco-style French fries.
