Best Burger Redux
So, in the advice of a BiteClubber, I headed north to Windsor last night to check out KC’s Downtown Grill for a burger. Here’s my takeaway:
– Best burger in town? Sorry. Not in my book. A solid burger? Absolutely. I got the Blue Eyes, a burger topped with carmelized onions and blue cheese. The nice, soft bun is a winner. The onions and blue cheese were also tasty. But uh…the patty? By all accounts, it appears pressed. See the perfectly shaped edges? I don’t like pressed patties. They tend to be a little drier, and lack the homemade touch. And the homemade touch is what makes a great burger in my book.
– On the plus side, service is extra speedy, and a large TV, fun retro tables and lots to look at on the walls (who can’t get at least 5 minutes of fun out of the ‘Poop Deck’ sign?). A huge variety of food (salads, burgers, pasta, etc.) make it a solid alternative to chain restaurants.
