We're burger famous!
South Street Southern spot Rex 1516 (1516 South St.) is continuing its guest burger series this evening. Past guest burger have included inspiration from the likes of George Sabatino, Ben Puchowitz and Vernick sous chef Dave Kane along with a handful of writers including Zagat's Danya Henninger and Foobooz's Art Etchells.
Tonight chef Justin Swain is rolling out his take on the classic New Mexican green chile cheeseburger, a suggestion made by yours truly. Swain is upping the ante on the traditional fast food style burger with double patties, roasted tomatoes and green chiles, iceberg, white onion and cheddar. Available for one night only, $15 gets you the green chile burger, fries, a Newbold IPA and a shot of Buffalo Trace bourbon. So if any of you are wondering where we'll be tonight...
