Lunch

Skillet
These guys are pretty okay. I had a burger with fries. The burger came with cambazola, arugula, and bacon jam. The cambazola was of course pretty mild, and almost invisible. The bacon jam sounds totally crazy, but it's actually pretty mild-mannered. It's not too salty, but it's porky, a little sweet, and a little smoky. It's got a bit of the fibrous texture of bacon to it, and I have to say it looks kind of unappetizing. It was nice though. It worked well. The burger itself was kind of char-grilled, and much more well done than I generally prefer. It was good quality meat though. The bun was almost like a firmer dinner roll combined with brioche. It was a bit smaller than the patty, but not too small.
The fries were nice and brown, but weirdly chewy. I'm not sure how they manage that, actually. They were sprinkled with a bit of green onion and weren't at all too salty, which is a common complaint of mine. I'm not sure I'd say I really loved them, but they were good, despite the chewiness.
These guys are right by my office every Friday, but I almost never work Fridays so I always miss them. I got there at 12:30 and the only thing remaining was the hamburger and some sort of small salad, so I didn't even have the option of trying anything else on their (admittedly small) menu.
(Oh crap, I just noticed they have 'trailer-made' orange soda. How'd I miss that??)
