Burger Tour Roars Into .......TINK'S!

Wednesday November 10th
time is negotiable, its Veteran's Day (bank holiday!)
Tink's off Ludlow in Clifton's gaslight district (by the Esquire)
Cost: $15 or so, it's Man Up time after the atrocious Mt Adams experience
This is the place where sukr, several years ago, almost wept in sheer delight at the taste of a Kobe burger @ Tink's. He proclaimed it the best burger he had ever consumed (and my bet is my boy has eaten a mess of burgers in his day). This proclamation was pretty much the origination of the Burger Tour. I'm not drinking beers at Tink's due to the cost but there might be a stop afterwards at one of the neighborhood pubs which serves more economical selections.
I think this about the last burger in town that can seriously challenge TTC or Gordo's top ranking.
Also, any thoughts to having a First Ever RR Xmas party? I vote Opening Day due to its centralized location and extreme cost effectiveness. I already have my white elephant gift selected.

Judgment time
Tink’s Kobe burger is damned good. It was the first time the burgers were cooked precisely to our specifications, which is a huge plus. The meat was tender, the boursin cheese was great, and the egg bun was very nice. The “fries” were what most people consider fried potatoes but everyone who counts still liked them.
Final verdict – we’ve all converted to boursin cheese, and Tink’s comes in at third place, closely following our respective second place efforts.
My top three – Terry’s, Gordo’s, Tink’s in that order.
Oh, and we were DEFINITELY out of place. That place was way too classy for us, from the chimes to the wine list.

TTC, Gordo's and Tink's are a three horse race
The three piece band was a nice touch. JCH instantly knew how to prepare a proper plate of olive oil for bread dipping, even if he lamented the lack of “sea salt”. Everyone took their two bacon slices off their burger, the burger itself was that good. We all know what Bay Fries are now and they’re easily the best fries of the tour. Kudos to the chef for delivering the first true medium rare burger this year, even Tink’s and Gordo’s didnt have the temperature right.
sadly tHan didnt get chocolate cake. and i have to disagree with his assessment that 90 minute IPA is the worst beer ever.

Tink's slides easily into third place
not close to the same level as Gordo’s, but probably just as good as arthur’s. However, Arthur’s was half the price, so it gets the second place nod. Very good burger, not done fries, and expensive ($5 a bottle) “Old Traditional Ale”.

I don't even know what tallgrass beef is
And I like bleu cheese on hamburgers.
That’s what I had for dinner, in fact. Though I didn’t bother putting it on the burger. I just served a Romaine lettuce salad with bleu cheese dressing on the side, and ate them together.
I also make bleu-cheese stuffed burgers sometimes. Make two thin patties, put the bleu cheese between them, seal the edges, and cook.
