Please add to list

1. Cook to order and temperature.....a must

2. Hand cut fries

3. Locally produced bread, where available. Bread is often very underrated at burger place.

4. Multitude of condiments for burger and/or fries. Ketchup and tobasco wont cut it

5. Serve root beer and local iced tea

I would like to make a motion, to bring under consideration, Honey Mustard when offering Sweet Potato Fries.

I'm a stickler for not offering enough cheese options. But cooking to order should be number 1 on any list, and even further they should have someone in the back who knows HOW to cook to order.

One place I know that does all this gets rip on here because of the architecture of the building.

If zoning allows it, then yes, it is a must, and it must have a few decent tap selections.

You can add have fresh ground meat for the patties and please don't use pre formed patties that sit frozen for 2 weeks before cooking

Have a fully stocked bar, in addition to beer on tap. Sometimes I want a glass of bourbon with my appetizers.

Grind your own meat and serve burgers medium rare at request.

Don't use a patty forming press, etc that creates such a packed patty that it losses proper burger texture.
