The Goodnight Burger...It's so much more than just a burger. I mean, that first bite, oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, lightly toasted breast of an angel resting gently on the sassy and BBQ sauces below. Flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then, an onion! The most playful little onion, caramelized and flavorful. Then a slice of cheddar, lettuce, tomato and a patty of ground beef so exquisite. Swirling in your mouth breaking apart and combining again in a fugue of sweet and savory so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread, Robin. This is God, speaking to us through food. --Marshall from HIMYM (kind of). Walking in to Hopdoddy, it was clear this was no ordinary burger joint. It's a hip, modern building with a bar in the middle and tables all around, including a lovely patio. At first we were confused, but luckily the Burger Bouncer to the rescue! He explained the process, handed us a menu, a table number, and sent us to the line. By the time we reached the front we had decided...we both chose the Goodnight Burger, mine without the jalapeno. We ordered a small order of fries on the side to share, a fountain drink, handed over our table number, and paid there at the counter. The fountain drinks...a selection of main root sodas in various flavors; some familiar, some new. I saw bright drinks on other tables in pink, green and blue. I chose the mexicans cola and was quite pleased. For my water-drinking fiance, there was carbon filtered water though I'm not sure what that means. Right behind that were two disposal cans, one for recyclables and one for compost. I'm not sure if the general public is able to discern compostables (saw someone putting the dredges of a milkshake in there) but I appreciate the effort! Finally, the service was impeccable. Everyone we encountered was super friendly and personable. The team here works like a well-oiled machine, using teamwork and efficiency to keep everyone happy without missing a beat. My only regret is that this restaurant is pretty far. It will certainly be on my mind when we are in the neighborhood though. The cocktail menu looked awfully intriguing!
