by Ema Pucella on Sometimes I just want a burger. But normally burger joints aren't this swanky. So after much campaigning from my brother, I went and tried out this small hangout near the Biltmore area. And I left hooked, but not on the burger. The inside is pretty small with glowing tables crammed together to where only a small group of people can fit (and even then just barely). They usually play music you'd expect to hear at a club in Scottsdale with mixes of pop, hip hop and techno blaring on the speakers. The crowd at the restaurant mirrors that feel as most of the people I encountered were very fashion conscious and sporting the bling. As a whole, the atmosphere wasn't my thing, but for some in the chic crowd this might be to your liking. Anyways lets get to the food. I got the staple Delux Burger which is served on a baguette with and has a different (almost fruity) sauce to go with it. It was okay. Nothing spectacular. Then I tried the one thing that might (I stress the word might) bring me back to this place. The sweet potato fries and the accompanying sauces. Talk about addictive! I rummaged through my little shopping cart of fries in no time flat. The fries alone were almost enough to make me warm up to this place. In the end however, the noise, the slow service, and cramped feel of the place was too much. Normally I always stick around to try dessert at a new place, but I constantly got bumped into either by the person sitting behind me or the passing waitress. I had to constantly shout across the table to carry on a conversation with my bro and it just seemed like they were squeezing more and more people into the restaurant as the evening went on. We'd had enough and didn't stick around for dessert. Now to be fair, maybe I picked a bad day to go or my experience was highly unusual. But I was sure that Sunday evening wouldn't be that crowded and one would think a restaurant's signature burger would be the one to knock your socks off. Again, I just felt like I was suffacating at a crowded night club more than anything. Not one to hold a grudge, I don't want to discourage people from giving these guys a try. Judging from the crowds we saw it looks like it has a pretty solid following. I just wish I'd decided to grill my own burger on the Foreman that night.
