The burger came up as a \u201cfamous must-try,\u201d so it joined the Mediterranean salad on the table. Anthony was spot on\u2014the burger did not disappoint. Stacked high on a brioche bun and served with hand-cut fries, it lived up to the hype. The Mediterranean salad with grilled shrimp was equally impressive + fresh.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What tied everything together was the lineup of house-made sauces.
