| - Holy mother of huge burgers! This weekend, I entered the dark and mysterious restaurant hidden on 40th and Camelback. I immediately noticed staff walking to tables with burgers so popular, they deserved their own plate. I sat down, opened the menu and let my burger adventure begin.
Thanks to the Yelp iPhone app, I browsed the quick tips and reviews. Spicy burger with jalapenos, a peppercorn burger, sweet potato fritters... so much to choose from! But, the spicy factor scared me just a little so I went with the Peppercorn burger. Out comes this massive burger that looked like it was nearly half a foot high. It was dripping with a sauce equipped with a kick, watercress, charred onions and matchstick fries. I'm pretty sure it had a mind of it's own and was too huge to mess with! But, I didn't let it scare me and dug right in. I pushed myself to eat as much as possible but there was no way I could finish it. I did get pretty far though.
The burger was decent -- not the best I've ever had but not the worst either. I asked for cheddar cheese and my friend asked for blue cheese but sadly, they switched the orders and there's a big taste bud difference between cheddar and blue cheese! The service was quick, the staff friendly and the drink refills plentiful. Not a huge fan of the sweet potato fritters. I couldn't tell if they had any flavor or not because the burger taste was pretty overwhelming, so if you are looking for some tasty fries to go with your burger, the sweet potato fries aren't it.
So that's concludes my burger adventure. I left full and beef satisfied.
