Ben: ORTEGA SWISS BURGER w/ fries and dill pickle spear. Burger, medium, with Ortega chiles, swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato and onion on a sesame seed bun.

HOW THEY STACK UP:

1. BACKGROUND 1 2 3 4 5
2. BONUSES 1 2 3 4 5
3. BUNDLE 1 2 3 4 5
4. BURGER 1 2 3 4 5

9. BURDEN 1 2 3 4 5
10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

TOTAL SCORE: 36

NOTES:

- not the best beer selection but great for cheap pitchers of domestic suds and booze

- good dive bar feel w/ shuffle board and pool tables, but it could use some upgrades, although it does have everything a bar needs

- bun is a little to McDonalds for me, but was at least toasted

- smoky backyard bbq flavor to the meat

- a little overcooked and dry for medium, recommend med-rare

- cheese wasn’t quite up to snuff

- Ortega chiles were good but lacking in flavor

10. BUZZ 1 2 3 4 5

NOTES:

- a great dive bar for downtown

- it’s just on the outskirts to it is easy to find parking and then walk to the next spot

- beer pitchers are super cheap

- not a very good beer selection, but a full bar with pool and shuffle board

- cheese was not swiss as proclaimed, false advertisement

- didn’t really get to the Ortega chile flavor

- everything was about average

- pretty good divey drunk burger, but nothing to rave about
