| - Not what I expected. I work in the same "mall" as B-spot, and several of us decided to get carry out for lunch one day. The menu selections read great, and all sound delicious, but the execution in a word SUCKS. I would at least expect hand pattied burgers with maybe a little seasoning in them, instead it looked like a cookie cutter hockey puck that Applebees would be serving. Unless Michael Simon only put a B effort into this joint, he shouldn't be proud of this at all. My burger lacked any seasoning on it at all, and the french fries were packed in a styrofoam cup so by the time we walked all 100 yards back to work, they were closer to steamed unmashed potatoes. Have to admit the flavor on the two I ate was indeed great, but working in a restaurant for years, you have to put some effort into your togo food as well. We didn't go for a half hour car ride, it was in the same mall, and the burgers and fries all seemed like they had no love. I think that if he went to his own restaurant and ordered a burger and reviewed it like he does as a critic, he would tell this place to keep the menu, and get someone who actually cares in the kitchen. PS your an iron chef, get some wild game burgers, think inside the bun, outsid ethe box a little more, anyone sould slap bacon, italian meats, cheese, and heavenly pig on a mediocre burger. You might have had a big break as a big chef, but you can't alienate the clientele with your Symon says, kind of a D-bag move there.
