Meat & Eat

With another chilly day on Sunday, I dropped by Bestellen at College and Dovercourt for some stomach-filling protein. Sadly, their (aged) steak and eggs was no longer on the menu. But the breakfast burger ($16) sounded like a good substitute.

After a fairly lengthy wait (I sure hope because they were making it all from scratch), the burger arrived. Compared to mild disappointment I felt at Burger's Priest, this offering was enormous. The patty was thick and juicy with a slight char taste. Sitting on top was some smoky bacon and a fried egg! The whole thing was a carnivore's dream, enlivened with small bursts of arugula. To hold all that, some chewy brioche buns were used. Nevertheless, it was deliciously messy to eat. The accompanying potato salad was creamy with little flecks of dill. Sated and satisfied, I decided to forgo braving the wintery outdoors for an afternoon nap.
