Todd Brock, who handles all things Atlanta for the crew at Serious Eats, just posted his thoughts on Burger Tap, a restaurant I checked out a few weeks back.  Brock was a little more jaunted by the unusual and somewhat quizzical shape of the burgers than I; but he went on to say:

That shape is mirrored in the buns, the true rockstars of the Burger Tap menu. Super squishy and slightly sweet, the flat-out spectacular buns hold up exceptionally well to the sometimes-heavy toppings.

He also gave the menu a full run, something I did not do and I think he hit on some excellent points that I did not focus on during my one trick pony write-up.  Give it a read, he knows what he’s talking about.

It seems as if Atlanta’s culinary milieu dictates the popularity of the burger.  It’s very much a straight out of Field of Dreams situation, whereby “if you build it, they will come.”  So it happens that Burger Tap, Morningside’s brand spanking new restaurant, is serving burgers.  Elephant, meet room.

Aside from a few blurbs on various Atlanta news sites, Burger Tap opened last week a little under the radar.  A quasi-derivative of yogurt shop chain Yoforia, Burger Tap is attempting to put a spin on Atlanta’s unavoidable food trend.  As I was in the hood during their earliest of days, me and a few compadres decided to stroll in and see if Burger Tap had anything worthwhile.  After a single meal, things seem promising.

Burger fans have a new spot to visit in the comfortable confines of Morningside (at the northern tip of Virginia-Highland).  Burger Tap has officially opened in what was formerly Caramba Café.  The menu here is 100% burgers and sides … so don’t go if you’re looking for something dietetic.

It’s a really small menu too, with just four burgers, a grilled cheese option, and four sides (all of which get made in the fryer).  According to their website, their patties are constructed out of a brisket, chuck, and short rib mix.  That’s actually pretty promising as thoughts of the H+F and Bocado burgers come to mind.   And no, that’s not a misprint down there – the restaurant offers 888 dialing for all your penny saving concerns.  I’ll let y’all know my thoughts on the food as soon as I have a second.
