Burger 32: Snaps American Bistro's Snap Burger

This was the first place on the list of burger spots that Burger Bill was recognized.  Burger Bill often tries to remain hidden among the masses, but as he eats each new burger, he is starting to become the masses, which is quite massive.  The hostess sat us at a table, and asked, "Are you here for the burger thing?"  I was in love.  That somebody out there, had been following my burger blog, and was awaiting my arrival at the restaurant where they worked.  Or...they are friends with me on Facebook and we graduated high school together.

I prefer to remind myself it was the former, except the love part of cours.  There is only enough room in my heart for burgers.  And eventually when all that love (or c-h-o-l-e-s-t-e-r-o-l as they like to spell it) fills up my heart, I will die the happiest man alive.  So as our hostess sat us, she gave us our menus and awaited the waitress to take our order.

Snap Burger: Char Grilled Angus Burger, Bacon, Cheddar, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle

Although I would've liked to try another burger this burger was named after the establishment so that means this is their go-to burger. Snaps features the Piggy Back which is the same as the Snap Burger but topped with pulled pork.  They also feature the Flat Liner, which is the same as the Piggy Back but served on two bacon grilled cheese buns.  Yum.

Beef: The beef on this burger, cooked medium was juicy (and not from grease).  The actual juices from the burger flowed forth from the source into the delta of Burger Bill's mouth-hole.  The tender meat, cooked to perfection was a little under-seasoned, but overall the beef was great.  3 out of 4.

Bun:  The bun lacked a certain texture.  I can't place what texture it was, but it definitely did not lack sogginess.  The non-toasted bun absorbed all the juices you wish were not there as soon as the bun hit your taste-bros (for me, they're more than buds).  2 out of 4.

BTBR: The beef to bun ratio on this particular burger was decent and well measured.  Since there could have been meat in some places where there was an a'bun'dance of bread (pun intended), this burger gets a 3 out of 4.

Cheese: The Cheddar cheese was your average slice of melted cheddar cheese.  Not bad, not amazing, right in the middle.  2 out of 3.

Sear:  Wow.  The sear was clearly visible to both, the eyes and the mouth.  The almost crunch on the outside of the burger contrasted well with the softer inside.  3 out of 3.

Overall Taste:  To be honest, overall this was your average burger.  if you name a burger after your establishment, make it unique, make it pop.  This burger lacked that pop I was looking for in a burger.  3 out of 5.

BBSR: 16 / 27
