Weights + Measures

This Midtown find has a great hamburger on its menu. A sleek retro bar with an inspired whiskey selection, Weights + Measures also has an in-house bakery and restaurant. They bake their hamburger buns on-premise throughout the day. While it took a little while for my hamburger to arrive, I was quick to forgive the delay once I was presented with the Wood Grilled House Ground Beef Burger. This burger was the tall centerpiece of a white plate, accompanied by a side of house-made chips and a colorful splash of thinly sliced, sweet and spicy house-made pickles and other pickled vegetables, including cauliflower. Those thinly sliced, russet-potato chips were quite addictive, as was the pickled vegetable medley.  The bun was nicely grilled in the middle, firm with a nice sweet taste and sesame and flax seeds adorning its top. The charred, crusted patty was topped with white cheese, greens and thinly sliced onions. There was no overpowering of flavors. Each ingredient complemented the other with perfect balance.
