It takes something serious to claim two hard-core red-white-and-blue categories like best ’burg and best ’shake. Like the Mediterranean (melted feta cheese and flavor bursting sun-dried tomatoes), teriyaki-Swiss and
Béarnaise Burger (creamy sauce and sautéed mushrooms). All come with a choice of ground beef, ground turkey, chicken breast, bison or vegetarian falafel. And enough blended beauties that include, oh, more handmade vanilla, orange freeze, mint chip, chocolate, root beer, blueberry, Coca-Cola, chocolate raspberry, apple pie, coffee, PB&J, mocha, nutella and cinnamon shakes you can shake an Old Glory at.
