| - I had the pleasure of splitting the Lola burger, Yo! burger, Mr. Porky bratwurst, and vanilla bean apple pie bacon milkshake. Yes, that's right friends-- we did some serious menu exploring at B Spot.
The Lola burger was delicious: fried egg, bacon, pickled red onion, and cheese. Need I say more?
The best part of the Yo! burger was by far the many slices of fried salami that were jammed on top-- scrumptiously salty, crispy, and a perfect addition to the sandwich.
The burger meat itself is pretty good. They could definitely benefit from higher quality meat, but I imagine a sizeable price jump from that kind of change... and no one wants to see that.
The brat was packed with some surprising flavors- some good, some not so good. The pork seemed to have spent some time in an acidic and briny cooking liquid. While I'm a big fan of acidity with savory, there's gotta be a limit somewhere. The bratwurst itself was much more flavorfull than I expected; I swear I even tasted a hint a white wine in there.
And now for the kicker: Vanilla Bean Apple Pie Bacon Milkshake. Yes, that is all one thing. And yes, it was ubber good-- a vanilla bean milkshake with a scoop of apple pie blended into it, topped with extra crispy bacon bits. I'd say this was one of the most imaginitive and satisfying combinations of sweet and salty I've ever had!
I went in super excited to finally eat at one of Michael Symon's restaurants, and I left with a fully belly and a smile on my face.
