| - Oooh yeah, bad daddy. Wait a second, this isn't the start of Alex L's erotica writings. Lucky you.
Apparently this is a newish chain of restaurants throughout NC, SC and Denver. I was lucky enough to run into it during a transfer at the Charlotte Douglas Airport. I needed an excuse to eat like a bad daddy (this is killing me) and lucky for me...it was Cheeseburger Day. I needed to seduce my wife, who is a pescetarian to indulge in a burger with me. Even the strictest pescetarian (auto correct wants to make this proletariat which would also be an accurate statement) can't resist bad daddy's allure of a juicy burger and she proved to be no exception. "OK, just don't tell the whole Internet."
So we sat down, were handed a menu and both of us ironically fixated upon the vegetarian option which looked most appealing. It was a black bean burger with avocado, onions and some jalapenos. I asked our server about it and he suggested subbing the black bean veggie patty with a juicy meaty burger. My kind of guy! So I did and asked for it to be cooked medium. He warned me that it would still be pink in the middle which was purrrrfect.
My wife stuck with the vegetarian option, but made me promise to let her take a bite of mine. No problemo. I loved the fact that the burger came with a choice of fries, tater tots or coleslaw. I went with the tots. The burgers came out within 5-10 minutes, which is impressive since it was a pretty full bar / restaurant, but I guess they gotta keep it speedy at the airport.
I loved it. The bread was high quality, fluffy and the burger was cooked perfectly medium, which many restaurants seem to fail at. It was served with a side of sauce, tomatoes, onions, cheese and lettuce with avocado and onions on the base of it. The flavors came together wonderfully and the meat was seasoned very well. My wife and I exchanged bites and I loved her vegetarian patty and she seemed to enjoy the sinful delicious bite of my burger, breaking her normally pescetarian diet. "You're not going to tell the whole Internet, right honey?" "This will be our little secret." We exchanged a sultry look while continuing to chow down. The tater tots were fantasimal as well -- crispy, crunchy and delicious. Her coleslaw tasted fresh and healthy.
Entertainment was plentiful as a burner sat down a few tables away from us and attempted to engage in conversation with the beautiful single girl who was sitting at a table next to us. He was trying to impress said girl with his burning man adventures and we listened with glee placing bets on whether or not he would try to get her # at the end of the conversation (he gave her a business card instead).
Final verdict: delicious burgers at an airport. Prices are very reasonable for the airport ~10-12 a burger (you can substitute Kobe beef for an extra $5 if you want). I suggest getting the black bean burger but subbing the black bean patty with a juicy meaty patty.
