Day 8
To the city of country music. Louis and I rolled into the land of Jack Daniels and caught a Preds vs. Oilers game. I went to Haymakers and grabbed a fresh new pair of dem raw jawnz as over a week in a pickup driving 10 hours a day can lead to some funk if you knowamsayin.
Strolling through the streets I walked through the the Vanderbilt University campus, Music Row, and somehow ended up in the city's housing projects. It was the first time that I really felt Southern charm shining through. I've never felt such a small town feeling in a big city, people greet eachother at every block and if you are waiting at a crosswalk, you can guarantee someone will ask how your day is going.
With a stomach starving from shopping and strolling, I stopped in at Burger Republic and ordered myself the 96 Burger. Louis was out at an art exhibit, so the photos are a little less compelling than usual.
Review
Bun:
Soooooo soft and buttery. None of that Wonder bullshit, this thing is fresh, and was made by somone who knows what they are doing. It's pure and white and lovely.
Patty:
It's juicy, they've got a touch of bleu cheese which only helps. Char is decent. Flavour is not quite to the level with it.
Cheese:
Some mild bleu, it mingles with the horseradish beautifully adding just the right amount of pungency.
Sauce:
It's a savoury horseradish and garlic mayo. The horseradish is not overpowering and blends very well with the flavours throughout the burger.
Vegetables:
There's nothing green here. Glazed mushrooms and onions. This is a manly, savoury burger, and the vegetables add to the depth. To top it off there are shoestring-cut french fries which adds significant crispy texture.
Bacon:
It's cooked well, but not overly flavourful.
