A pity we're not judging the chicken wings. They were out of this world. Huge, spicy, tasty. The burgers, however, had a lot going for them, but the verdict was just so-so; I guess that's par for the course at a place called Fifty/50. Interestingly, while we agreed that there was a lot to like -- ample size, great pretzel bun, creative sides and combinations, swift and attentive service -- we had different reactions to the burger itself. First off, there were some who found no fault at all ("big, juicy, and messy"; "great"). Some didn't like the BBQ sauce topping ("too sweet, too boring"); some thought the meat was bland ("meaty, but not flavorful"); some thought the chef screwed up in the preparation ("The bones of a good burger, but the fingerprints of a bad chef."). Interestingly, though, we all had a good time, and there seemed to be an appetite to come back again. Maybe next time. Interestingly, despite the disparate comments, the numbers were closely aligned. Low of 80; high of 84; average of 83.
