The burger is served on a grilled brioche bun with bibb lettuce, thick-cut tomato, red onion and pickles. The onions are pickled with a deliciously subtle anise taste. The choice to use brioche bun over regular sesame bun, bibb lettuce over iceberg and pickled onions rather than raw, makes it seem a bit fancy, but it’s really not. It’s just a careful selection of higher quality staple ingredients behind this tasty combination.

I was impressed by the whole package, but the beef patty was the real winner. My medium rare request came out perfectly: pinkish red on the inside and grilled to a perfect crisp on the outside. I had heard a rumor that they soak the patty in special sauce to make it juicier. When I tried to inquire, they were a little secretive about it but told me that they do use butter to grill the burger. Whatever secret ingredient they use, it makes a TASTY burger! I added Cheddar and a side order of avocado on my burger, and I was in blissful heaven by the end — I nearly licked the plate.
