Day 2
After Sonic, there was nowhere to go but up. We spent the night in Pullman, Washington, home of the WSU Cougars. Moscow, Idaho, home of the University of Idaho Vandals is just across the border from Pullman. Both the towns are oozing with that small-town Americana feel.
We stopped in at Humble Burger in downtown Moscow and ordered ourselves a couple Humble Burgers. As the name suggests, this is simplicity and it turned out pretty good.
Review
Bun:
We're working with a nice toasted brioche here, good texture, if a little on the dry side.
Patty:
It's juicy, it's fresh, the most noticeable quality is the excellent browning on the patty, we are talking full Maillard Reaction, baby.
Cheese:
Unfortunately, the cheese got lost in the sauce on this, nothing much added or lost that I could notice.
Sauce:
There is a mild mayo-based sauce, simple, tastes like a little mustard, a little chili.
Vegetables:
This is what really stands out on this burger. The pickles are gorgeous, bread and butter, so much fresh flavour, they taste homemade. The red onions were slices so thin, they were beautiful. The freshness and quality of the vegetables were a real standout.
Other:
The service from these guys was great, They were super-friendly and non-pretentious, exactly what I want out of a small town burger joint. The fries were also excellent.

Will you be trying any chicken burgers? How about fish? Veggie?
