The Triple Nickel's Pot Roast Burger swims in a sea of gravy and nostalgia. This huge, decadent smorgasbord of both solid and liquid beef is a tribute to the pot roast that your grandma (hypothetically) used to make: This is meat and potatoes in the best possible way. The beef patty is topped with a layer of fried potatoes that fills the burger out and gives it a bit of a crunch, and there's even more beef juice on top of that. The Guinness-reduction beef gravy swims with mushrooms and carrots. And the veggie chunks have soaked up that beefy, meaty Guinness flavor, so every single bite is filled with the taste of meat in multiple forms. It's like eating the 1950s. The Triple Nickel is also selling a beer flight to go with the burger for six bucks. Grab one of those, too. You'll be thirsty. JOE STRECKERT
