Alright people, since burgers seem to be THE rage right now, I figured I’d add to my previous burger review from Cabbagetown Market. This fine specimen is from US Cafe up in Smyrna. Now first, one has to understand how I approach food reviewing; I look at any given dish and/or restaurant for what it is. That is to say, I don’t like to make direct comparisons between dishes and restaurants when the preparations were never really meant to compete. Thus, the Cabbagetown Market burger is still my favorite “homestyle” burger, ie. what mom would make if she is culinarily inclined. That type of burger is awesome, good ingredients cooked in a way that isn’t fussy. This beauty is of a whole different animal (not literally, of course). This is the really no frills, thin patty, more fast food style of burger. And this one is exceptional in this class of burger. Great wheat bun (optional), a well seasoned and cooked beef patty (also have a pretty good turkey version), and nice fresh toppings. All of it cooked to order. It’s a great burger when your craving the fast food guys, but really want a bit more effort. You also get the bonus of supporting a local joint. More burgers to come….
