A Little Bit About a Lot of Things

Stop 3 on our burger research adventure for Tastetrekkers landed us at jm Curley. (See stop 1, Trade and stop 2, LAH)

The restaurant is crowded – they don’t take reservations for dinner. We show up after work and have about a 30 minute wait. The noise level is always pretty high here

Conor, our server,  brings us over bacon flavored popcorn.

We stared off the with cornbread ($6) that came in a cast iron skillet. It was far less gritty than I thought it would be – really smooth and delicious and it was topped with honey butter.

The 9oz burger ($15) that is topped with cheddar, grilled onions, pickles and pop’s Russian served with a side of fries. Probably one of the juiciest burgers I’ve had.

Burger special ($16) is the one that is competing in the Battle of the Burger in August. Chef Bauers took a 5 oz bacon laced burger, topped it with a special slaw and smoked gouda and put it on top of a bacon cheddar bun. The bun is out of control delicious – I love all the things going on with this burger, the crunch from the slaw, the smokiness from the gouda and the bacon….so good.

We are stuffed to the gills, but how can you not get the dessert when it’s a corn sriracha ice cream sandwich ($6). The cookies are amazing and the ice cream, while it’s cold, it has a warm finish….which is a little disconcerting…but I like it….like it a lot.
