| - a couple of co-workers and i ventured outside of uptown proper for lunch and hit up the Burger Co. today. it was my first time at the joint, located in the up and coming wesley heights area.
even though it is a repurposed old warehouse building, it has a real clean and tidy look to it. not a whole lot on the walls, save the three or four vintage or made to be vintage looking neons. i love seeing steel trusses in places like this. and even though it looked clean, i am always leery of any place where my shoes stick to the floor.
we got there just in time to avoid the lunch rush and i imagine that waiting in that line to order could be a tad annoying. but i imagine that it saves on wait staff? i don't know, it feels weird tipping someone as i order at a counter.
the menu looked interesting with all the amalgam of burger, stuffed burger, and dog combos. being a touch hungover, i went for the bacon cheeseburger with a side of tots and a coke. just under ten beans.
the food came out pretty quick and it was an ample portion. even after smashing it down, i almost had to unhinge my jaw to get a full bite of my burger. the beef had good consistency and wasn't too fatty and the bacon was just right on the chewy to crunchy scale. the tots were some of the best plain tots i have had. really light and not oily at all.
as i progressed through the burger, my bottom bun pretty much disintegrated which left me pawing at ingredients instead of a sandwich. that didn't thrill me, but it wasn't a bad meal. i might have to return to try the sweet potato tots, but with Pinky's a stone's throw away, it will be tough.
