| - Delux, a trendy, happening Burger joint in the Biltmore area. Why the hell is this metal head going there to eat??
- Great selection of beer on tap. The bar offerings are 3/4's of the menu. They did a good job on creating signature drinks and breaking down the beer selection into styles, Lagers, Ambers, Porters/Stouts, etc. To help the not so intelligent beer drinker figure out what looked delicious.
-Pop quiz: How does a restaurant get away selling a hamburger for $9.50? Topless servers? No. Lottery ticket with every purchase? No. It's by hand crafting their burgers, with bits of blue cheese, serving them with rocket (arugula for the lame) and caramelized onions on a bakery roll. The burgers are cooked to the customers specifics, Rare, Med, Rare, etc, which is a nice change of pace from the fast food joints. The roll does get a bit soggy, but that is just culinary chemistry. When proteins cook, they squeeze moisture out. Once a burger goes straight from grill to bun and cut in half, the juices start flowing. They might want to revisit their burger display idea and either leave it whole or let it rest for a few minutes after grilling to let the juices redistribute.
-Also their sweet tater fries are delicious. I'm sure they're commercial made fries, but they are tasty. And served in a cute little mini-shopping cart (Gag me now)
All in all. Want something to eat after 10pm? Go get a burger and beer and hangout on the patio.
