Just take a minute to let it sink in. It is a true thing of beauty. To date, this is my favorite burger in all of Austin. I can't tell you all of the specific ingredients that go into this perfect burger concoction, but there are some things in life that do not need to be understood... just accepted.
Mulberry is located at the base of the 360 building at 3rd and Nueces. It is a small bar that has a lovely selection of wine and beer. And the food... drool. Have you ever had hot roasted olives? Such an experience. And the Devils on Horseback? Fruit (dates) stuffed with cheese (Asiago) and wrapped in the the meat of the god's... BACON!! And Butterscotch Brulee... there are no words.
But let us get back to the issue at hand. Here, just in case you needed a reminder:
A juicy beef patty is paired with lettuce, tomato, Gruyere cheese and crispy pancetta. But that's not all... oh no. Top all of that off with a perfectly cooked and seasoned fried egg. Smooshing the two halves together results in the egg yolk breaking and drenching the entire burger in its rich creamy goodness. I'm unsure of the bread 'cause I'm totally blissed out at this point, but it holds all of these ingredients together without getting soggy, which I appreciate.*
At $14, the price is a little steep especially considering that it doesn't include the usual french fry accoutrement, but if you go at Happy Hour, then it's reduced to $11 and frankly, it's so satisfying and delicious you really don't miss the fries at all.
Being in public is the only thing that's stopping me from licking this plate. :o/
*Update 10/5 - After having another one of these last week, I realized that this burger is being held together with a ciabatta roll. Soft and yet chewy, perfectly paired ciabatta. Sigh... :o)
