12/18/2017 Pier 7- Mushroom Truffle Prime Burger

Today was the employee Christmas party for my company. We went to Pier 7. I was super excited, because every day on my way to work I see Pier 7 advertising their burgers. When I sat down and looked at the menu, I was surprised that somewhere advertising burgers as one of their best dishes had only 3 on the menu.

My burger came out and right away I was concerned. I didn't see any of the burger or toppings peaking out of the bun. When I picked up my burger, I again grew concerned that the brioche bun was cold. I like a hot meal. About halfway through the burger, I took half of the bun off because there was just too much bread and decided I would eat it using a fork.

I was happy with the overall flavor of the burger. The charred grilled outside had a great flavor and almost had a crusting. I ordered my burger medium. It had a soft, moist, pinky, and juicy center. It had a wonderful salty flavoring. 

The toppings were lack luster. I really want a bite of each topping in each bite and you could not do that with this burger. The burger advertised sauteed onions and mushrooms, brioche cheese and truffle aioli. I would have liked to have about double the amount of each topping on the burger. What I could taste was good. It could be an amazing burger if they would put on more toppings and serve it on a warm bun.
