Burger Bash 2013 | Pictures

The burger: French Onion Burger — caramelized onion, crispy onion, bacon, gruyère and horseradish cheese sauce, shasha and mustard sauce.
Served with: Sweet and sour pickles.

How it stacked up: More than anything, we fell hard for the plump sweet and sour pickles, which unlike many of their pickled brethren were neither too sweet nor too sour, and were a nice foil for the decadent cheese-sauce-laden burger. The burger itself was spicy, creamy, and well executed, though it posed some problems in its consumption. We overcame the messy feat by keeping ample napkins at the ready.
