Second best burger in the area. Sorry Baldwin still wins for me. However this is better than my last year favourite Smash Kitchen and Bar.
The service for a single server is very well done. He knows the food and drinks (though I didn't have any drinks. ) I can overhear the explanations and he knows where the components come from including the maple syrup that comes from a neighbouring supplier that is used with their bacon.
The burger is a unique blend of pulled pork with a juicy beef patty and aioli sauce that ties them all together. It is presented very well and does not look like it was just thrown together into a big blob. The flavour mix was well balanced between sweet salty and sourness.
I split the burger with the mrs. so I can try out one other thing i saw which was the pork belly appetizer.
The smoked pork belly appetizer was very flavourful. Since it had some other things with it including apple and some green thingy which was apparently Brussel sprouts after I checked the menu. The Brussel sprouts were cooked so well I didn't even realize I was eating that yucky vegetable. The flavour mix was complicated and fun for me. The sprouts probably added that very slight hint of bitterness which improves on the taste.
However the burger is still well more value for the $.
Since I am on a diet in a way I cannot grab the other thing that I was eyeing on the menu. But I will definitely try the pulled pork with corn bread and Mac and cheese plate.
