BLT Burger

Holy pricey hamburgers. In case you're wondering, it is in fact possible for 3 people to spend $100 dollars at a hamburger place.

3 burgers, two appetizers, 3 shakes, a side of fries, tax and tip was over $100.

I ate half of the american kobe burger (Snake River Farm American Wagyu beef apparently), and half of the BLT Burger (7 oz certified black angus beef, bacon, lettuce, tomato, and BLT burger sauce). Both of these were really good; the BLT burger because of the delicious sauce and bacon and the kobe burger because it was just generally good.

Appetizers were fried pickles and waffle bites (potato skins but instead of a slice of potato it was on a waffle fry). Fried pickles are kind of gross in general, but at least the pickles they used were thick and delicious. In fact, the pickles were thick and juicy enough that they came with the warning that if we didn't allow them to cool down we would likely burn our mouths on the steaming hot pickle juice inside. That's both gross and awesome at the same time. The waffle bites were pretty good too.

BLT offers both regular shakes and spiked shakes (shakes with alcohol). I ordered the go-go (kahlua, baileys, espresso, and coffee ice cream) and my friend ordered the shocker (stoli vanil, oreos, vanilla ice cream). Both of these were pretty good but we agreed that the alcohol just made them taste worse. My other friend didn't go the alcohol route and, after much nagging and coercing by me, ordered the twinkie boy. The twinkie boy is vanilla ice cream, a twinkie, and caramel syrup. Probably somewhere around 2 million calories but really really yummy.
