Review: Plan B

Great gourmet burger place in Glastonbury, definitely a "plan A" I might say. :)

(Warning: Due to my spontaneous unplanned food cravings, the pictures in this post are brought to you by my Palm Pre.)

Plan B has a rustic feel, classic pieces recreated in new ways. The dining room area are lit by open dim incandescent bulbs and black crystal chandeliers. The bar has giant stacks of bottles lined up along the wall and classic wooden bar.

 Appetizer: Beef Wellington Bites
Plan B is supposes to always use never frozen organic ingredients so everything is really fresh and healthy. This beef wellington bites was really good, the beef was perfectly cooked. It's beef, mushrooms baked in a puff pastry with a blue cheese sauce. The beef is nice and pink center with a good char, well seasoned and it has the texture of a very tender fillet. I didn't really notice the pieces of mushroom though the flavor was there, the puff pastry was really well seasoned and buttery.. so tasty and goes great with the beef and garlicy blue cheese sauce, just melts in your mouth.. :D

Pretzle Burger with Parmasan Fries

What a sight. :) The burgers at Plan B are always pretty glorious, giant beef patties piled high with toppings. I actually have never tried this particular burger before, but it did not disappoint. This monstrous burger sits on a specially made pretzel bun with spicy mustard, lettuce, pickles, and cheddar. My burger came with some pink, just as I ordered. :) I really have to talk a little bit about this pretzel bun, it was really good, it's actually not HARD like a pretzel, it has a good chewy texture of a really good asian bread but with a thin skin of pretzels, the same kind of salty taste. The pretzel mixed really well with all the toppings, the spicy mustard and pickled played off that saltiness of the pretzel and keep you interested with the acidity. All the different flavors complements the beef and actually draws more attention to the nature flavor of the beef and the cheddar cheese just ties everything together. Mmm... plus since the beef patty was so thick it really preserved a lot of the nature juices in the beef.

The fries was really good too, it's the same thickness as mcdonlad fries and it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, I was impressed how much parmasan was on each individual fries, it's as if it was cooked onto the surface of the fries. They most likely tossed the fries in the parmasan cheese right when it comes out of the frier so everything sticks perfectly.

Yup it was excellent, I need more of those fries.. haha :) I think this is my favorite burger out of all the ones I had there so far (italian job, baja, cajun).
