This is our first SBE Friday after everyone's busy weeks. We made a stop at the Sunburnt Cow's $20, 2 hour open bar (this may have influenced our judging later in the night). The conversation throughout the night crossed into uncharted territories...

Our thoughts:

Brian: "That is the best basic "non-designer" burger"
Luke: "Buttery and delicious"
Leila: "That was a delicious combination" (addendum: the mayo helped)
Kate: "The bacon was good news" (addendum: think almost Canadian bacon)


Plus = outside seating: Heat lamps when it gets cooler under a deck and open roof area below.
Cons = Avenue C (plus, there was a plastic bag tied to a pole bothering Leila...)


Total Bill: $76.60 ...cheapest drinks and burgers so far!
