A far cry from your average burger joint, this casual dining spot from chef Laurent Tourondel (BLT Fish, BLT Prime, BLT Steak) turns out burgers on the gourmet end of the spectrum. Starters such as jalapeƱo poppers and deep-fried pickles are all made in-house, and this attention to quality definitely sets these versions apart from what you find at other run-of-the-mill burger joints. BLT's certified Angus beef burgers may weigh in at a mere seven ounces, but that's a good size for the flavorful, cooked-to-order patties. Toppings such as Shaft's blue vein cheese, fried eggs and homemade chili are available for guests to customize burgers to their liking. Those not into beef will be pleased to find falafel, lamb tandoori and chicken varieties of burgers to go along with the three shapes of french fries. More than 20 beers are available on tap, or diners can try one of the whimsical milkshakes such as the Twinkie Boy---a concoction of vanilla ice cream, Twinkies and caramel syrup. Late-night goers find more of a kick from the Spiked Milkshake section, which includes the fun Grandma's Treat, a combination of Maker's Mark, caramel and vanilla ice cream.
