Image Source: blogger's ownI actually think Town Hall is closer than Spazio Soma Cafe to my office. However, due to the formality of this dining establishment, I've only visited it for special occasions. Today, I dined with a fellow college colleague, and future burger enthusiast coworker for some serious burger business at Town Hall.
We both ordered burgers, which really pleased my enthusiasm. Specifically, I ordered the burger with fontina cheese and requested bacon to accompany my burger; as for my grilling preference, I requested "rare".
Verdict: I probably should have taken a cross-section, but due to the inadequate natural light levels, I decided to keep my photo-documentation to a minimum. Nevertheless, the burger was pretty juicy. Really, really fine quality ingredients overall. The bacon was tremendous. However, the bun although toasted, lacked the structural integrity for a burger patty of this magnitude. I still ate it whole, without utensils, but I would opt for either a more toasted bun, or a larger bun.
My first Town Hall burger experience was last winter holiday - 2005. The coworkers I was with (fellow burger enthusiasts) all ordered burgers too. The burger was served with square toasted focaccia bread of the finest quality. It was delicious.
