The farm to table movement is big business especially in certain metro Atlanta areas like Midtown and Decatur. The newest entrant to this sustainable way of life is Farm Burger, a burger joint with an organic twist, directly adjacent to another farm to table establishment, Watershed.
A Tuesday lunch found crowds, communal tables and some serious beef. A burger purist, I opted for a medium burger, with lettuce, tomatoes and pickles. After all the hype I wanted to be able to TASTE the meat which according to their website is sourced from farms throughout the southeast. I was not disappointed, the meat was well cooked, charred ever so slightly, juicy and FRESH. No frozen patties here. Coupled with a huge bucket of hand-cut fries, it was just the thing for a quick and guilt free lunch.
Not much else on the menu which to me is a plus considering how diluted a lot of establishments make their brand by offering a bit much in the name of diversity. Farm Burger is about simple eating- burgers, floats, fries, onion rings, chili, tons and tons of toppings, all from the bounty of local farms. YUM!
