Taste-testing burgers is not for the faint of heart. Although the fundamentals feel similar, interpretations are vastly different. From internal meat temperatures to the patty’s thickness and char amount, each element must work seamlessly together to create the perfect bite. Ground Restaurant has been serving up perfect vessels of greatness for 10 years in Franklin. A seemingly streamlined menu has allowed them to perfect their craft in the most delicious way imaginable. With pillowy brioche buns and a well-seasoned patty (cooked medium for me), their symphony of flavors, sauces and perfect sear alongside buttery hand-cut fries has allowed them to lead the force as the best spot to get a burger around.Â
