Rachel said this burger was juicy, full of flavor, and extremely messy.
Her patty was around two-inches thick. While she couldn't take a clean bite of the entire sandwich at once, alternating bites between the top and bottom worked well.
She expected the meat to be pink in the center, and it was. The lettuce and tomato were both crisp and refreshing, offering balance to the savory, rich meat and cheese. The rings of raw onion layered between the patty and the bottom bun added crunch, and the spice-like flavors elevated the lettuce and tomato.
The more bites Rachel took, the more the meal fell apart. While she didn't have to use a fork and knife, the patty did slide around between the buns and the toppings. By the end, she said she was left with just veggies between the remaining bun pieces after the meat continued to slide to the front.
Even though it was a mess, she thought the 2:1 meat to bun ratio worked flavor-wise. And this trait is what added to the main feeling of this burger's nostalgic backyard barbecue — which is something that's hard to find in the city, Rachel said.
