5 guys is the bomb, Smashburger sucks, Fatburger is good too.

If you ever make it to Turner Field here in Atlanta you have to get the H&F burger. You'll never get it at their local restaurant, but you can at the Braves games. It's amazing.

they closed Sydney Marcus - i used to always go to that Marshalls there, seems like I TRIED to go there - but the line was bad, so I left. I used to buy Sebastian Firm Gel from that Korean Wig Lady right by that Cigar Store to the left of where Fat Boys was.

If someone could eat more than a large order of 5 Guy's fries, then they'd seriously need to check themselves for diabeetus.

Ramblings About Wine & Food From the Heart of Decatur, GA

April 27, 2010

Farm Burger Arrives in Decatur!
So, I finally made it over to FarmBurger for lunch yesterday. Seems like I was there with half the city, as the FarmBurger has created some buzz right out of the gate. Several local bloggers already have nice reviews on the place: See The Food Abides for a good one.

In case you haven't heard about FarmBurger's mission, here's a blurb from the website:

Farm Burger wants you to think about your burger - what it is and where it's from. Our burgers are made from 100% grassfed beef that is dry-aged for two weeks and ground daily. Our cows are raised on the sweet grasses of the southeast, and never fed antibiotics, hormones, or grain. Our menu is seasonal and sourced from local farms. Our space is convivial and comfortable - because eating is a celebration to be shared. Our food makes ethical eating easy.

The No.1

The cool thing about FarmBurger is that your burger topping options are nearly endless. From the standards like lettuce, tomato, and pickles, to the sublime...including pickled beets, aged gruyere, and BONE MARROW. It's definitely a cool format and sets up the possibility that every visit to FarmBurger brings a unique burger experience.

For my first visit, I had the No.1. It was a rather vanilla choice, I know, but I wanted to see how they knocked out a rather everyday burger. The No. 1 features caramelized onions, cheddar, and FarmBurger sauce. The burger was great, really juicy, and seasoned well. I don't know what the best burger in the world tastes like, but I know this was a damn fine burger. I also ordered the sweet potato fries. They were okay, slightly soggy, but that seems to be the norm with sweet potato fries. Often, they just don't work.

My lunch companion (The Legend) ordered the No. 6...topped with bacon and fired egg...to which he added on jalapenos and bone marrow. I didn't try this hedonistic burger, but it sure looked fine. See the pic below. We also had some beer battered onion rings that were delicious with smoked paprika mayo dipping sauce. All-in-all, it was a fine lunch and I look forward to a return visit.

I'd like to add something, with Houstons they're really good because they're grilled over hickory accented charbroil. Not smoked - but a nice accent to the finished morsel.

New York matinee called it, "a playful but mysterious little dish"

I ****ing love marrow

I haven't LOL'd in a while - but that was practically perfect looking.

This. Crushing the meat on a flat top is the only way to get a special crust. Ive started doing this at home in the cast iron and its almost a completely different burger. Plus it doesnt seem to have the issue with inflating in the middle (aka, the baseball buger)

If you don't want your burgers to inflate in the middle the do this:

Put a big fat thumb print right in the middle of the burger, problem solved.

Then the fat rendering will fill up that well and the burger size will stay in tact.

Works every time.

This is true for grilled, bbq, whatever.

maybe I just had a few bad experiences. last 2 times I was there (only been there like 3 times) their fries were limp, greasy, ...bleh.

The brown bag they put it in is sopping wet with grease.

Popeyes has the best Cajun fries.

Tell them to make up a fresh batch for you and buy a large.

Yes - Vortex when I had it - was good but not earth shattering - May've very well been an off day. I like getting brisket at The Yacht Club there in little five points.

Exactly. Flattening the burger just removes some of the flavor. Its just a gimmick to get ppl to come. One of the worst burger chains that isnt fast food.
