Honey Bun
When it comes to compatibility, the classic pairing of a burger and fries sets the standard.
We tested the mettle of our own budding relationship at Le Gourmet Burger, the newest face on the comfort food scene. We both started with a hearty beef patty ($5) but the truth of any good match is in the toppings (from $1). We went boldly forward with brie and caramelized fig walnuts, while our gent made old-school choices like cheddar, bacon and coleslaw. We dipped our crisp sweet potato fries ($3) into spicy mayo, while monsieur stuck to regular potatoes with ketchup. Were we worlds apart or would opposites attract?
After a few delicious bites, burgers were swapped and fries were shared. Final verdict? A match made in burger heaven.
