Burger Bound

This week we had to go a day early, as Pete had a conflicting appointment.  Jenn reminded me that our old neighbors from when we lived in the apartment in Summit opened a burger joint in the Iron Bound section of Newark.  It is a little further than we usually go, but man was it worth it!

Burger Bound is a great little place.  Full bar, patio seating out back, and they specialize in "Handcrafted Organic Burgers".  The weather was great, so we sat on the patio.  Nice seating, cafe lights, etc... It looks like it could be converted to a night club at night!

• Cheeseburger Bound - Organic beef patty, caramelized onions, pickles, BB avocado aioli sauce, lettuce, tomato, American cheese

We shared a large size of Truffle and Parmesan fries.

Everything was cooked perfectly.  The burgers were medium well, without being dried out at all.  All the toppings were fantastic.  The fries were delicious, very crisp yet still tender on the inside.  And the parmesan cheese was shredded, not 'powdered'.  Just the right amount of parm, salty and flavorful, without tasting like stinky feet.

Again, I had a Peanut Butter milkshake that was to die for.  It had caramel drizzled througout, and it was east to drink.  Sometimes a peanut butter milkshake can be real hard to get through the straw, but somehow this one was light and airy.

I definitely recommend the place.  Maybe someday I can convince Rob to come with us :)  Oh, and there are chicken fingers so I can take Rosie to dinner there :)
