They were light and crispy, with no sogginess that I usually associate with larger, cheaper versions. Their noticeably salty flavor [which I liked] was cut by the mild aioli. That&#8217;s glorified mayonnaise for you philistines. :p<\/p>\n<p>Then I ate the burger, which came on a toasted, buttered bun. I appreciated this detail, as untoasted buns distract me from my burgers with their chewy texture. The meat was juicy, tender and done medium, as far as I can tell [outsides definitely cooked but not hard, insides lightly cooked but not red]. The bacon added a nice smoky note, and the cheese and lettuce were fine. Everything merged together into a hearty mess of flavors, except for the tomato jam, which did not overpower the burger, but definitely had a slight medicinal aftertaste. Could&#8217;a&#8217; done without that, but, for $11.00, I was very pleased with my meal. Definitely worth waiting 15 minutes in the cold for!<br \/>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: smaller;\">This entry was originally posted at <a href = \"http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1452279.html\">http:\/\/modernwizard.dreamwidth.org\/1452279.html<\/a>.
