| - Bold vision executed pretty well, actually.
We were on the way from Charlotte to Charleston and needed a quick place to go for lunch. Burgers are generally pretty safe, so I opted to stop at Blacow while I kept an eye on the weather.
I got the slightly-unfortunately-named F.R.O.G. burger, but it makes more sense when you learn it has a fig, raspberry, orange, and ginger reduction. This reduction also holds together the arugula, bacon and a very thick slice of basil goat cheese.
The verdict? Not bad. The fries were awesome. The burger was cooked medium-well, when I prefer medium (and I wasn't asked how I liked my burger, either), a mistake that seems to compound when using short ribs as meat, as the meat part of it was drier than it should have been. The taste was unaffected, fortunately.
As for the other components, they tasted good individually but overall it didn't quite get to "top burger" status. It's probably more of a quibble than anything else, as overall I'd still rate it a very good burger. After all, that reduction was delicious.
Worth stopping by!
