If you read at least a few of my reviews then you are probably aware that balance between a burger's ingredients is a topic I spend a lot of time thinking about. Use acidic ingredients and fresh veggies to reign in the fatty ones, use sweetness to normalize acidity, that sort of thing. But every so often I come across a burger that throws out the playbook and just goes hard and unapologetically in one direction. It rarely works but when it does, something truly special emerges.

This is one such case.

Just look at that spec sheet. it's basically all richness with only a slight touch of counterbalance through tomatoes and dill. But it doesn't even matter. They know what they're doing with this burger. It's genius.

Understand that I was cynical coming into this review. You can check my earlier one below. I was not impressed in the past and was trying to find faults with this burger, bite after bite. Yet I simply could not.

I'm gonna be honest, the only reason for the withheld ½ point is sheer disbelief. A 5 "star" burger is a big deal around here and I don't grant that title lightly. I will have to go back and confirm this wasn't a fluke.

I reject in advance the allegations that this is just a poor excuse to have a reason to order the burger again. Preposterous!
