"Before chef Jason Stanhope exited the kitchen at Lowland, he gave us one of the ultimate gourmet burgers. The Tavern Burger patty is made from Brasstown beef and is about one and a half inches thick. The 80/20 meat mix is topped with a substantial slice of white onion, cheese, and a fancy cognac sauce. Stanhope says he was inspired by the greats — Minetta Tavern, Red Hook, and Peter Luger. Best for: A stunning burger in a stunning historic space." - Erin Perkins
