May 2012- Jack Rose vs The Blaguard

Jack Rose vs The Blaguard

Jack Rose

One of my favorite places because of the rooftop deck (unless you accidentally go on cigar night, that's really a thing there). A surprising side with the burger- black eyed peas. The burger is straightforward- beef, lettuce, tomato, onion and cheddar. A.H.'s service score had something to do with free drinks, I think...

The Blaguard

This was really nothing special. (I actually did not participate this round; was delayed because I couldn't find a parking spot in Adams Morgan, and then was so residually angry, it ruined my appetite. don't worry, it came back for Jack Rose). Tater tots are always good, but the burger was basically a charred lump of overcooked beef. I think the Blaguard goes better with beer or rail mixed drinks, followed by Jumbo Slice.
