First trip to Good Stuff: Let the burger battle begin

good-stuff

I didn't want a war, particularly not in my mouth. But then I met friend Monica for lunch at Good Stuff Eatery and ordered Spike's Sunny Side. Blurb: "Dairy Fresh Cheese, Maple Bacon & A Farm Fresh Fried Egg on a Brioche Bun With Good Stuff Sauce. 6.89 + lots'a napkins!" With the first bite, Ray's Hell Burger had competition for my taste buds/hunger.

Not sure how I'd never made it there previously, but Good Stuff places itself squarely between Ray's and Five Guys (and equally beloved, for me, Elevation Burger) on the fun end of the trouble-to-normal scale.

The day seems normal on the surface but is sci-fi underneath, like the moment of realization Will Smith has before he inevitably fights aliens or creatures or whoever. Except, in this movie, the creature is you.

Thoughts?
