Burger Up!

Ok so when I started this blog pre-Carrie, I thought I would review a restaurant weekly or monthly or something like that because I just love trying new restaurants, new foods, going out etc. Well, once I had little one, I realized that the days of trying all the new places right when they opened had come to an end. We do not get out NEARLY as much as we used to, but Carrie is well worth that sacrifice. However, now that we have been getting out a little more and with the weather getting so nice, I have gotten to sample some new spots and local flavors. So yesterday my mom and I ventured over to 12 South to try...
It was so good that I just felt compelled to blog about it! Burger Up is on the corner of 12 South and Paris Avenue and I say it is a must! If you have not gone, I hope you will! They have salads and yummy apps, but the gourmet burgers are what make it worth the stop. They use all local stuff...meat, produce etc to create the unique and tasty burger renditions. They serve them up on those yummy brioche buns that add flavor instead of taking it away like those bready buns do. They have a very interesting selection from the pimento cheese burger to the turkey burger to what I had which was a lamb burger. The lamb burger had boursin cheese and a peppermint dijon spread and it was SO delicious that I had to scarf every bite even though I was stuffed! On the side I had their sweet potato fries that they serve with their homemade maple ketchup and yep! I finished all of those off too! The place itself is small, but charming. They have a really neat bar that looks very inviting as well. There is also a small patio that I would love to enjoy someday. Because it is small, I hear the wait at night can be long, so either hit it up for lunch or an early dinner. Or wait...because it is definitely worth it.
