Jason – I understand your understanding of how I felt.

Matt – If it’s still bleeding I will kill it again to make sure its not moving.

Josh – You’re my brother, so you know adding cheese to a burger is something I never do. So getting it cooked well done was a secondary crime, if anything. At least I didn’t get bacon =O

You’re right. I certainly don’t rave about the place, but I wouldn’t call the food “nothing special.” The sliders were special. I probably would have raved had I been ordering liquor and drinking coffee and since I haven’t had either since Jan 1, I’ve become a much less effusive person.

Josh, I think your assessment of my assessment of your assessment is misguided. After reading your review I generally didn’t feel any great desire to have brunch at that place.

Matt – I agree with you about overcooking meat. But to read Josh’s review you’ll find that Lydia ordered that way because she’s pregnant (by the way, congrats to Adam and Lydia) and Josh rightfully took his brother to town for ordering that way.

What is the point of ordering a nice piece of meat if you are just going to char it into an unrecognizable hockey puck? In my book, if it’s not still bleeding it’s not worth eating. Anything cooked above medium rare is just a waste of perfectly good food.
