Handcrafted Goodness from Burgersmith

Today for our EatLafayette office lunch excursion, the boss chose Burgersmith. Located in River Ranch and serving handcrafted burgers as well as Louisiana beer and ice cream (yum!) Burgersmith is crazy busy at lunchtime. Why? I've said it before and I'll say it again. Lafayette knows good food when it eats, smells and tastes it.

The crew here was really excited about Burgersmith having tasted their sliders at the Business After Hours event in June. The boss, admittedly not a big meat-eater, ordered the All-Natural burger and upon finishing the whole thing, explained that that was obviously one happy cow. I ordered my burger with cheese, lettuce, mayo and Burgersmith's own creole mustard. Lauren ordered her Jr. Burger with lettuce and chipotle mayo.

Our order came in a huge white bag with a spiffy glossy Burgersmith sticker (love it!) and our entire order was individually wrapped so that it didn't touch the foil that most burger joints wrap with. Instead it was nestled safely in Burgersmith printed paper which was simply a step above. From the packaging to the taste, it's obvious they're proud of their product - as they should be. The burgers were cooked to perfection, crispy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside and the buns were delicious! It was decided before we knew what we wanted on our burgers that we were ordering a side order of each of Burgersmith's fry varieties. The regular fries with sea salt were wonderful, while the Burgersmith fries had a little cajun kick which was highly enjoyable. My favorite? The garlic and butter fries that had just a hint of both flavors and was masterful on the tastebuds.  

Special thanks goes out to Jacklyn and Kelsey and the rest of the Burgersmith team for going above and beyond for us!
