Upon my second visit to Privateer Rum Distillery to interview my friend and Head Distiller, Maggie Campbell, she treated me to lunch at a small spot just up the road called Bunz Burger. They are serving up seriously juicy burger patties with a number of topping options, great condiments (like chipotle mayo or sriracha ketchup), and buttered, grilled buns in this off-the-beaten-path joint in small town New England.
The space boasts about 5 hightops and an open kitchen where you can watch the magic on the grill created by pops and daughter.
Maggie ordered a cheese burger with grilled onion, pickles and crisp bacon:
I went for the Breakfast "Monster" Burger because I think breakfast burgers are EVERYTHING!
I recently had a flashback on when I first enjoyed a burger with a beautiful fried egg and realized that it, too, was in Boston about 8 years ago (somewhere near or in Brighton).
Bunz Burger elevated my ideal breakfast burger (e.g. the one at Grass Fed JP) with their addition of a hashbrown patty and of course the sriracha ketchup!
