Okay, where do I start.
Wait a minute, I'm Sac, not 6PC. It's like this right; the new burger place seriously has some of the best (if not the best) burgers in town. What makes a good burger?
1. Hand formed, six ounce patties. That's slightly over a third of a pound, except, in reality, they are the same size as the burger chains' half pound patties. They don't actually hand form it, they have a press, but the point being that they do it on site, they don't use frozen patties.
2. It's cooked right. Not burnt. Flipped once, no mooshing.
3. Thick bacon. It's crispy, just thick. Enough that you can actually taste it. Most of the time if bacon is an option at fast food I don't add it because they never put enough on to make a difference. Not the case here.
4. They get the whole lettuce wrap thing. Carl's gets it. Habit probably does it best. Inn & Out does a decent job. This place does a good job.
5. Real cheese. The cheddar is not some Velveeta textured goo, it actually has some substance, and some taste.
Okay now what bothers me. I don't expect a place to be perfect, but there are some minor things that annoy me:
1. I really don't like foam boxes. "I'd like a side salad please, and you can go ahead and put it in the basket with the burger." "Marvelous." Last time I asked it came in the basket and I was fine with that. This time it came in another foam box. In their defense, they did use the space for a better lettuce top half presentation.
2. Mustard. There is a big, huge, Heinz mustard dispenser that probably holds five gallons. Well it ran empty. I got about half a pump. I love mustard. Lots of it. Yeah there are the little plastic tear things but not only do I destroy my teeth trying to rip them open, I need a lot of them. I don't know of the ketchup dispenser had ketchup in it. I didn't check nor did I care. I don't like ketchup on my burger. It seems to work on a McD's Quarter Pounder but that's it. By the way, if you could add a mayo dispenser, that would be magnanimous.
3. Locking bathrooms. I mean the kind you need a key for. First of all, this place is in a business park, not an inner city homeless camp, and your bathrooms are indoors. People shooting heroine and doing blow is NOT an issue for your bathrooms. Yes I'm going to bother you for the key every time. It's going to start to get annoying.
4. Soap. Some people need it to wash their hands before they eat. Other people, like me, need it to wash their hands after they eat. I need to degrease my hands. The soap dispenser ran dry last week, and it's still empty. I left the can of Comet on the supply shelf on the sink so hopefully you will get the message.
