"The Vortex is a local legend that makes no bones about the fact that “Everything [they] offer is bad for you; it’s the kind of place your momma warned you about.” It’s as famous for its defiant attitude as it is for the Coronary Bypass Burgers. With a bacon grilled cheese serving as both the top and bottom bun and 10 slices of cheese on the entry-level version, this challenge may just answer the question: “Is there such thing as too much cheese?” But excess is as signature as their multi-page burger menu, which you can see in the knickknacks, memorabilia, and cool conversation starters plastered across the walls and ceilings of both the Midtown and Little Five Points locations. At both, take your time to “pour” over the enormous drink menu, which showcases “draft concoctions” and quirky cocktails like El Matador, made with Teremana tequila, apricot, and fresh lime juice." - Su-Jit Lin
