10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

TOTAL SCORE: 38

NOTES:

- only one burger option, but you can add any of the daily special links to top your burger if you’re worth enough

- no booze but an awesome local beer (including cask ales) and wine selection

- the bun is a little much but it holds up to the punishment that the egg yolk and burger juice inflict upon it

- all organic, locally raised food

- pretty pricey, even for what you get (about $30 for a burger and beer with tax and tip)

- the yolkiest egg you’ll ever get at a restaurant, you’re hands will get messy

TOTAL SCORE: 36

NOTES:

- bun was a little too dense, but it held up to the task

- egg was pretty good, but overall the burger was a little salt heavy on the palate without enough zest or sweetness to really pull it together

- the ingredients are of great quality however and the beer selection is fantastic, representing many local breweries and boasting four cask conditioned beers

- overall a little pricey to just drop in for a burger for the blue-collar worker
