| - Sweet baby Jebus that was good!
On this rainy lunch hour I was hit with a serious meat craving that I knew would not be allayed by some bland fast food outlet. Thankfully, Big Smoke is just a couple blocks down from my office and umbrella in hand I made the jaunt.
Line up was practically out the door. Usually I find that inclement weather reduces the number of people that venture out beyond the PATH system. No matter. My determination for meaty satisfaction gave me strength. But I was torn... Go with the Signature Big Smoke Burger (horseradish mayo, caramelized onions, smoked cheddar, tomato & lettuce)? Or the Crazy Burger (jalapeno havarti, coleslaw, chipotle mayo, bbq sauce, hot peppers & lettuce)? A bit of back and forth resulted in the Big Smoke combo. Can I just say it's really nice to see a place serving fountain ginger ale? Don't seem to see that much and it the only soda I drink, so thanks Big Smoke.
Holy mother! That burger was amazing; juicy, sloppy, great toppings... and the fries, the FRIES! Literally people, the best fries I think I've ever had... crispy, golden brown, just salty enough... sooooo good. Didn't think I'd get all the way through the massive portion, but they were too delicious not to finish.
The wait was significant, this is true, but I'll definitely be a repeat customer.
