| - I don't always eat burgers, but when I do, I prefer an ELEVATED one.
If you thought Vegas had enough burger chains, you thought wrong! Here's another hipster alternative! Cows are meant to eat grass. Organic is better. Everyone should recycle. And a burger that's good for you is good for them too.
Elevation is the future of fast food. Not necessarily based on the technology they're using, but by appealing to our humanity. Every foodie can appreciate proper business practices. Its one thing to run a business; its another to do everything possible to make money but do it with your dignity and integrity intact.
BURGER: A burger with 2 patties is the norm. You have 3 options: beef, veggie w/ mozz, or vegan. A single patty is a "kids burger." Because eating a single patty is only enough to feed a child... After selecting your patty-options, you move on to building your own masterpiece by selecting as many of the toppings as your heart desires. A slice of fancy, aged cheddar cheese will cost you some extra cents though. The beef is a little softer, definitely leaner than most places, but it has a refreshingly clean taste. I can tell the cow or cows it came from were happy, free-range, and grass-fed. You can taste the different.
FRIES: Never have I ever had fries deep-fried in olive oil. Essentially, olive oil is far healthier than the usual vegetable or canola. But the smoke point is significantly lower so it yields a soggier fry. Mine were a little limp and a little heavy on the salt.
SHAKE: If my friend didn't have an appreciation for ice cream. It never would've occurred to me to order a milkshake. I don't eat ice cream anymore--I spent a lot of time working for Coldstone as a kid (you do the math). The $4 shake starts with a vanilla, chocolate, or coffee base with 2 toppings. This milkshake tickled my sweet tooth and touched my soul. After my first taste, "his" milkshake was reclaimed as "my" milkshake.
ECO-FRIENDLY: My house is quite strict on the recycling rule. Elevation is the same! They'll clear the table for you as they want separate every piece of trash and dispose of it accordingly.
Life is so much sweeter when you leave a restaurant fed, satisfied, and feeling good about yourself.
