I met a friend for lunch last week at Buns, the new burger joint at 107
N. Columbia St., where Jersey Mike's subs used to be. This guy is a
married man I know from church, and he joked that we shouldn't tell
anyone the name of the place, or they'd think it was a strip club.
Turns out Buns just makes a damn good burger. They also serve coconut pineapple, carrot, and red velvet cakes -- but no cheesecake.

Good news
Wed, 07/23/2008 - 17:21 — robdarichBig burger chains are hung-up on cooking the dickens out of burgers (kills the food poison) - and cheap places heap the meat to the sacrafice of flavor. So a good burger place needs to be honored and promoted - thanks for the note about "Buns", and thank "Buns" for doing something "Good" in an environment where otherwise, there'd only be "Fast" and "Cheap".
