At this point, I think I've had almost every burger in town worth trying, almost. I haven't posted a Pharmacy review, and do plan to later this week. Unless my next visit finds things have changed, the gist will probably be something along the lines of, "great hangout, okay burger," and they'll get high marks for presentation and atmosphere. Just a hunch.
I think there's a place in Lennox Village I have yet to try, Capitol Grille, and some sporadic family restaurants whose burgers I hear good things about and do promise to report back every once in a while. But for the most part, we've done that. I've seen other bloggers and media outlets replicate what Michael and I did, but I think we've done the best job of any of them and believe me — anyone who'd tell you Five Guys has one of the best burgers in town has an addiction to Velveeta they can't get over. That's okay. We like Velveeta, too. We just don't think it can overcome an otherwise unremarkable chunk of beef.

I was late to the party but last winter I finally had my first taste of Nashville Hot Chicken, at Pepperfire. It was so hot I'm still not sure I tasted the chicken but what I do remember was how incredibly moist it was, probably due to soaking in buttermilk. We have an army of publicists in town who are working to make Nashville Hot Chicken our answer to Buffalo Wings. Why not? Have you seen the price of wings, lately?
And so ....
So you wouldn't consider a Five Guys Burger to be in the top 15 in Nashville, yet you reviewed Ruby Tuesday's and Red Robin...
ReplyDeleteWhich burger was the best in your opinion? Twin Kegs? Where did the others rank?
If anything, Five Guys was a large part of what inspired the burger series, because when I finally got around to trying it, after hearing all the hype for almost a year, the burger was beyond unimpressive, in comparison to what was being said.
ReplyDeleteBurger Up still probably gets my vote for best. After that, Brown's, TK, Dalt's and the Pharmacy burger I had on this last visit are pretty much a toss-up. If Dalt's was a cooler hang-out, more people would be raving about it. If TK would do medium rare, they'd probably be my #2.
