I figured that would make it easier for me to compare the Urban Stack burger to other burgers that I’ve had. Ultimately, though, I decided I wanted a basic, classic burger for my first try. I toyed with the idea of ordering the gourmet bacon cheeseburger: American Kobe-style Wagyu beef, bacon-onion compote, lettuce, and gruyere-blue cheese sauce. Burgers are served on a Niedlov’s bun made especially for Urban Stack, which can be subbed with a whole wheat Niedlov’s bun or a lettuce wrap (which makes me ask-why? Didn’t the low-carb craze end about 5 years ago? Give me my carbs!!!! But I digress.). The standard burger is 100% Angus, but you can substitute a chicken breast for $2.00 or Wagyu (from the same type of cattle that brings us Japanese Kobe beef) for $3.00 (although a couple of the burgers include Wagyu). As you might expect the burger selection was massive-20 in all, including two turkey burgers, a mushroom burger, a veggie burger, and a lamb burger. I was hoping that the killer burger part was true, of course. Urban Stack is the home of “killer burgers and manly drinks.” I don’t know about the drinks….although they did have quite a lengthy beer, wince, and drink menu. We would like to thank our local vendors and friends: Benton’s Family Farm, Clumpie’s Ice Cream, Niedlov’s Breadworks, Sequatchie Cove, Sweetwater Valley Farm, and Springer Mountain Farm. We are committed to freshness, quality and homemade goods. We have specifically chosen a wide variety of meats that are either all-natural, organic, grass fed, free-range or from sustainable and humane farms. We work with local farmers and vendors for the absolute best quality of meats and ingredients available. Urban Stack takes pride in our community and region. I was also sold by the poster hanging right above our table that explained Urban Stack’s commitment to local foods, which, if you have read my blog for long, you know is very important to me: The atmosphere in this eatery is great…so I was sold there. We immediately noticed the cool, dark wood and interesting decor. When we headed into Urban Stack, we were greeted by a very friendly hostess and seated immediately (we got there just in time, because by the time we got our food there were people waiting outside). I hadn’t actually heard anyone say that it was bad, but I had heard reviews from great to okay. I had heard mixed reviews about Urban Stack, which is owned by the same proprietors that own Taco Mamacita. I was craving a burger, so when Philip suggested Urban Stack, I was game.
We’ve not been eating out much lately, and in fact have decided to focus on the blog when we go out to eat, which means that our eating out needs to center around local restaurants. Last Saturday, Philip and I had several options that we were considering for our Saturday blog post restaurant outing.
