“Extra points for the big pickle”

Ev pointed out as I choked back my burger in an attempt to shout “that’s what she said”. After taking my first bite of Porter’s award-winning burger, I quickly recognized that the pickle on the side was not Porter’s only surprise. Although no R.F. O’Sullivan’s, Porter’s burger far outshines any other burger around the Garden. Chatting about Sandwich-Hands with Pat the bartender and the sweet couple sitting next to us, everyone seemed to agree that Porter’s is the bar to go to for dinner before a game. The sourdough bun could have been toasted, but it is easily forgotten after you taste the juices this burger has to offer. The best part? The proportion of burger to bun. It should be 50-50 to absorb all the juices and to make each bite equally delightful. Luckily, that’s exactly what you get here. You have the option of several different cheeses and toppings (although there are several varieties on the menu also). I went with smoked Gouda and mushrooms piled high with crisp lettuce, tomato and onions. (Although, I find it nearly impossible to hold on to the tomatoes.) The burgers come with the most incredible shoestring fries (much better than R.F.’s potato wedge fries). Go with the honey mustard sauce as a condiment for your fries, you won’t be disappointed.
