We frequent this place one every two or three months, not only as it's the spawn of one of my favorite Chef's (Hubert Keller) but these burgers are made with some of the best ingredients in town. The sweet potato fries are a must as well. I'm a self deemed foodie so I'm all about customization. I know you are never supposed to mess with a good thing (as the majority of menus TELL you what you will be ingesting), but I enjoy Chef's approach where you choose your protein, bun and toppings. Sometimes I'm not always in the mood for the INSERT NUMBER here, so this type of menu opens you up for multiple visits.
During the last visit I had to go with the Angus (mid-rare) on Ciabatta (for the crunch) topped w/ Blue Cheese (addict), Avocado and Carmelized Onions w/ a side of Sweet Potato fries.
Burger came out in about 15 minutes and it was gone in less than 5. The crunch of the bread w/ the combination of the buttery avocado, saltiness of the blue and sweetness of the onions made me have instant happy face.
Very satisfying meal and we will be back next time I swing by Mandalay. Next time, i'll have to try the Milkshakes as I saw these being served to the Mid-Westerners at the table next to me who were raving that they were "GONNA DIE" because they were so good.
