One More for the Road

Off today, so decided to hit one of the local burger spots today.  Just came back from Gourmet Burger Grill, just making the list at #49.  After reading the menu, just had to try the Baja Burger, which comes stuffed with goat cheese and accompanied by chipotle cheddar, jalapenos, grilled onions, and a green olive avocado spread.  It was very good, but even better was the Caprese, which my son got - a burger covered with fresh mozzarella, basil, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar.  I know these don't sound like typical burger fare to most people, but to me, that's the point of the list.  Everyone has their burgers at their burger joints that they've been eating for years, but time to stop letting some of these places rest on their laurels.  I'm not saying you should forsake your favorites (I'm sure not going to!!), but get out of your comfort zone once in a while and see what other people have been doing with this good old American stand-by.
