Burger and Fries @ Mesa Grill

Oh Bobby Flay... you New York Patron Saint of all that is Southwestern and Tex Mex cooking... you God amongst men of grilling perfection. I turn to you and your Mesa Grill for a good burger, and it better be for $15.

Bobby Flay knows a good burger when he sees one, so he says. I'd have to agree. The burger was cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of char. From bottom to top the lightly toasted bun was sealed off from the burger juices with a nice slathering of spicy horseradish mayo, then came the burger almost completely enveloped in a casing of hot melted double cheddar cheese, topped with sauteed onion, mixed greens, and fresh tomatoes. The mixed greens are the more aesthetically pleasing rabbit food topping, but lacked the refreshing crunch of the tradition iceberg to help cut through the horseradish and thick layering of cheese. The spicy hand cut fries are amazing. If you look in the background you can see my friend's pressed roasted pork sandwich - looks like something to go back for.
