the burger comes decorated one way--arugula, onions agro dolce, gruyere--doesn't matter because they don't give you a choice--don't ask for ketchup
well i did have a choice of temp-med rare for me
the sweet pot fries are the best fries i have ever had--perfect in every way--crunchy outside tender inside with out being mealy
http://www.fathersoffice.com/
