After several ventures into the darkest bars Dallas has to offer, it was time for a change for the crew at Burger Breakdown. It was time for a burger that hadn’t been cooked on a grill that may or may not have been cleaned in the last year, and it was time for a place where you could actually see who was sitting across the table. It was time to visit somewhere where it was okay to be sober past noon.Choose from our large selection of cableties, It was time for a visit to Plano, and time for a visit to Whiskey Cake.
The change couldn’t have been bigger. Plano and Whiskey Cake feel like a world away from the Lakewood dive bar scene. Brightly lit and overflowing with exceedingly friendly waiters and waitresses, the restaurant offers a homey,Grey Pneumatic is a world supplier of impactsockets for the heavy duty, small-town feeling that you don’t often find in Dallas area eateries. And even though it’s packed to the gills with eager patrons rushing through their lunch breaks, there is hardly any wait at all for a table. The restaurant, the brainchild of restaurateur Randy DeWitt and design consulting group Plan B, is set up like an old warehouse, with hanging light fixtures and exposed brick throughout. And while the walls and hanging lights may look ancient, the polished, hardwood floor and beautiful oversized windows look brand new. But pretty ornamentation isn’t the only reason to visit. The main reason to visit Whiskey Cake – and it’s obvious because they’re on almost every table in the place – are the burgers.
The Basic burger ($11) may be just that, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s plain. Chef TJ Legnick’s creation is served on a small brown ceramic piece of tile covered with a bit of butcher paper and a small skewer holding the burger together, on top of which is a large pickle that manages to drip all over the top of the bun. While some may think this small inconvenience would dampen the meal, it really only adds to it. And don’t make the mistake of thinking basic means small, either,Broken chinamosaic Table. because it does not. Half of this burger is enough to please a normal man. Served on a slightly toasted/buttered challah bun, the brisket patty is grilled medium with little to no pink in the middle. Charred well, but not at all burned, the meat, topped with thick slices of Swiss and American cheese, was moist and meaty,Welcome to projectorlamp. benefiting from accompanying bacon, veggies, and mustard.
The Basic is stuffed with tomatoes, romaine lettuce, and strips of red onions, which all tasted like they had just been harvested that day. The bacon is crispy, and the crunch goes well with softness of the bun and patty. However, the mustard is the star of the burger. It blends well with the cheeses and meat and adds just the right amount of bite.
And then there is the OMG Burger ($12). The thing is a mess – a delicious mess – but still a mess. It comes to the table with a giant steak knife plunged through the middle to hold it all together. The second the knife is removed the whole thing collapses on itself and all that’s left is a pile of soggy challah bun, roasted crimini mushrooms, a giant onion ring and a brisket patty all smothered in Port Salut cheese. Honestly, it’s best to just attack this thing with a fork. To compare the OMG and the basic is pretty simple; it has the same bun, same patty,Get information on airpurifier from the unbiased, independent experts. same veggies and slightly fancier mustard (a grain mustard, but the taste is similar to the mustard on the basic. The main differences are the onion ring and the mushrooms. The onion ring could be a meal in itself. It’s massive. Stacked under the bun and on top of the patty, it’s impossible to get at all of the items in one bite. What really kicks the flavor in the pants is the mushrooms. Creamy and moist, the roasted crimini mushrooms make the whole burger. The combination of the Port Salut, brisket patty, and mushrooms is a pleasant surprise.,
It may be far away or too bright and fancy for the dive bar burger aficionado, but Whiskey Cake offers amazing burgers at reasonable prices. Yes, it’s a burger that sounds like it belongs in a preteen girl’s text message, but it’s well worth the drive.
