The Vortex

I was recently watching the travel channel with my day and brother. We were watching the special on best restaurants to dine at in America. On of the eateries that came up was The Vortex in Atlanta Georgia. It just happens to be that my favorite Sneaker Boutique that I visit very frequently is right across the street. Last weekend my dad, brother, and I decided that we would go out for a guys day out and eat at The Vortex. The Vortex was opened by two brothers and and a sister in little 5 points back in 1992. It has recieved many awards that include best burger, best beer/liquor selection, and best restaurant in Atlanta. With all of the history and hype surrounding this establishment I was more than excited to get the chance to eat there. When it came time to order I got the SUPER-STACK HEART ATTACK BURGER. this burger was made up of two half-pound sirloin patties stacked inside three grilled cheese sandwiches, topped with two fried eggs, eight slices of American cheese, ten slices of bacon, with plenty of mayo on the side and a side of a big bowl of fries and tots covered in our cheesy-cheese goo. needless to say it was enormous. After stuffing this gigantic burger into my face I realized that it really wasnt even that good. It was just OK. I feel like it was more about the appearance and ambience of the place than it was about how good the burger actually tastes.
