Travelle -- The Verdict

For $23, the burger better be something special.  And this one was pretty good.  While we again lacked a quorum sufficient to merit a fully admissible review, we enjoyed the oversized patty, American cheese (as good as American cheese can be), and capable bun that kept a juicy burger together.  The onions weren't listed on the menu, and got to be a bit much.  Still, we all loved the burger to start but, by the end, our enthusiasm began to lag a bit.  The seasoned fries were noteworthy, and the "generically downtown fancy" vibe was pleasant.  Said one:  "This is a burger I would happily eat again.  Like for dinner tonight.  If someone else were paying."

Maillard Tavern -- The Verdict

Sadly, we lacked a quorum for this to be an official review, but our four tasters each found a little slice of burger heaven at Maillard Tavern. Delicious patties, clever combinations (such as:  BBQ sauce, bleu cheese, and grilled onions), tasty fries, and local ketchup added to the vibe.  "I was humming Despacito to myself during this entire experience as I just didn't want my burger to end."  While the scores weren't official, they were all in the 90's.  In short:  Inadmissible, but delicious.  We hope to get back for a proper judging soon!
