| - The Farmhouse burger saved the day!
Great weather on a Saturday in February, so my husband I decided to go to happy hour and sit outdoors. We were out running errands, and Gordon Biersch was right in the middle of our route.
We've been here before, but never for happy hour. I was expecting a happy hour on par with other beer-based chain restaurants, like the Yard House or BJs, with half-priced apps and reduced drink prices. While there were a few price reductions, the options seemed a little limited. I opted for a California Cobb flatbread, which was supposed to be $3 off, and my husband stuck to the regular menu and ordered the aforementioned Farmhouse burger.
While my flatbread was fine, my husband was stunned by how flavorful his burger was. The charbroiled burger was topped with bacon jam, tomato, arugula, and a fried egg. To quote him, "Somebody here knows how to cook an egg." I, for one, hate runny egg yolk, but he is a professional cook, so he knows what he's talking about.
We each had two beers (IPAs for him and white IPAs for me), and they were each $1 off. But I was charged full price for my flatbread. I didn't want to quibble over $3, so I let it slide. But next time an unseasonably warm day pops up, I think I'll just make a few drinks and sit out on my own patio -- unless my husband has a hankering for a Farmhouse burger. I know I can't duplicate that!
