i’ve been spelling night like nite since 7th grade maybe? it’s become a habit. i do it with other words also. i’d imagine it’s probably annoying to others, so maybe i’ll stop. but, i don’t know anything about lose and loose except that anyone doing that is just fucking stupid and can’t spell.
the logo is awesome!
this week. they finally opened…
…..Chef Johnny Mac starts with slaughtered-ordered-cryovacced-and-shipped-same-day Painted Hills Natural Beef, and makes magic. He says he’s been perfecting this burger since leaving SnackBar, and uses percentages when creating his patties. The consistency of the meat is the best we’ve ever experienced: fluffy yet dense without crumbling under the pressure of being exquisite. The portion is perfection. Tall enough, strong enough, sans oafishness. The lightly butterkissed onion roll is a great vehicle, the homemade maple bacon and Brit Cheddar are worthy sidekicks to the King. Top it off with the Best Tomato Slice We’ve Had This Summer and crispy greens, or go au natrual and bench ‘em….
had a chance to stop in last nite and the place looks great. they did a good job renovating in the short time between chaucer’s closing and pub & kitchen opening.
the burger is awesome. i don’t eat burgers too often, but having this around the corner is probably bad news. rachel had an arctic char dish with corn and maitake mushrooms that was really really good.
only complaint is the beer list. it’s not bad, but i was hoping it would be better.
so yeah, if you’re ever looking for me… i’m here
