OnlyBurger Brings the Best in Burgers

If you already read Durham food blogs, you may have recently read about OnlyBurger, but after tasting some of the fare on its very short menu, I feel the obligation to get the word out.

Sam Poley, formerly of Restaurant Starlu, is back on the scene with this roving burger coach that proves that deliciousness is in the details. Let's start with the fries - fresh cut and fried, nicely seasoned. Next, the burgers - you can order a single or double. They come on a slightly toasted bun with delightfully crunchy lettuce, tomato, yummy cheese, ketchup, mustard, and perfect pickles.

The comparison to California's In-N-Out Burger has to be made. I felt like I was actually eating an In-N-Out burger... although no evidence as yet of animal style or other off menu customization.

This week the van has been at Guess Rd. and Carver, but it will likely be elsewhere next week. If you want to know where, look for "OnlyBurger" on Twitter. Also, more pictures over at the Law School's food blog.

For those of you who aren't familiar with In N Out, it's a legendary burger joint in California. They have a really simple menu with a lot of off-menu items, like "animal style" that SK mentioned.
