Burgers, craft beer, classic cocktails, and funky sides like mac and cheese fritters make Big Gun Burger Shop a great place to put on the regular rotation. Each week, they feature a Meatbangers Ball Burger, which can range from an homage to Normandy Farm’s Mike Ray (dry-aged ground beef, prosciutto, brie, arugula, and aioli) to a Royale with Cheese (homage to Samuel L. Jackson?) with an 1855 beef patty, aged cheddar, hydroponic butter lettuce, and a beefsteak tomato. On the regular menu, you’ll find such delights as The Porker, which piles pulled pork, pink pickled onions, barbecue sauce, and braised collards — yes, collards — on top of a big beef patty, while the Breakfast Burger boasts Canadian bacon, poached eggs, and hollandaise. There are a lot of nice little touches like the hand-cut fries and tangy housemade pickles that accompany each burger and a small plates selection that includes deep fried brussels sprouts and a trio of creamy deviled eggs served with long strips of crispy pork fat. Add to it a slate of over 20 classic cocktails and good beers on tap, and you’ve got a burger bar that knows how to make a big bang. —Stephanie Barna Dish (Winter 2013)
