Burger 34: Corry's Ale House Bar Burger

Corry's Ale House, located in Wantagh, New York, is a simplistic pub and restaurant that features hand-crafted burgers on its pub oriented menu.  The six different types of burgers all make each other unique in taste and size.  Corry's offers a smaller 4 ounce burger, and also a larger 8 ounce burger.

I went to this location after work one day (yes, Burger Bill does work, he just doesn't work out) with a co-worker who told me that this burger was a must have.  He ordered the burger for me in advance so I had no choice in the burger.  Had I offered my opinion, I would have ordered the Corry's Ale House Burger (since it is named for the establishment), which is an 8 ounce burger stuffed with bleu cheese and scallions.  Instead, I was ordered the 8 ounce cheeseburger with a double slice of American cheese, bacon, lettuce, and tomato.

Regular Burger (customized): 8 ounce lean beef grilled to your taste...with American cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato.

The Beef: The beef on this 8 ounce patty was tender, juicy, and cooked medium with a little bit of pink in the center.  The quality was higher and would be classified with higher end burger meats.  3 out of 4.

The Bun:  This bun was strange.  The bottom bun was toasted nicely but the top bun was borderline stale.  It was not toasted, instead it tasted as if it was left out overnight and served with my burger the following day.  1 out of 4.

The Beef to Bun Ratio: Another golden ratio was found on this burger.  Every bite contained an inch high of beef, with a perfect ratio of beef to bun.  The bun covered the beef and the beef covered the bun in every spot possible.  4 out of 4.

The Presentation & Cheese: It wasn't very appetizing.  The cheese looked as though they chose to melt a piece of yellow plastic over my burger.  The entire burger was covered in this hard shelled, plastic, double slice, of American cheese and no burger was visible.  The plate was a plate of mediocrity.  2 out of 4, presentation.  1 out of 3, cheese.

The Sear: The sear had flavors and a noticeable texture.  It was worthy of earning points for sear, but not all the points since it was the mediocre sear.  2 out of 3.

Overall Taste:  Overall, this burger was mediocrity to a "t".  3 out of 5.

BBSR: 16 / 27
