![]() Mine were soggy and the only taste I could detect was the salt. The fries: Clearly, machine-cut and deep-frozen. Unfortunately if this really was cheddar (I have my doubts) it makes a strong case for “Most Unworthy Cheddar I’ve ever tasted” amazingly, no meaningful improvement on plastic aka American cheese. I was excited about the use of real cheese I’ve been telling 5 Guys for years that this should be at least an option. Taste: The patty itself was better than the 5 Guys patty, but not by much, just a slight edge. Like most of the upscale burger joints, their smallest portion is too large and thus too costly – specifically, $2.85, versus $2.69 for the smallest 5 Guys fries order (which I would say is slightly smaller quantity than Elevation). When doing a test like this, I usually try the fries and I did so at Elevation Burger. Although I actually rarely order fries, it is because I find them too expensive and too calorific, not because I dislike them. I choose mayo, balsamic Dijon mustard, lettuce, and caramelized onions from their rather limited (compared with Five Guys) list of free toppings. This was $4.25 (versus $4.39 for a basic 5 Guys junior burger), but I added a slice of cheddar cheese for 60 cents, bringing the base price to $4.85 (versus $5.09 for a 5 Guys Junior Cheeseburger). Where their standard burger has two patties, this has just one – plenty for me. It is not limited to children and it in fact is a large serving for a child. Tip to Marketing: Call it something else. My “Gold Standard” for value is the McDonald’s Double Cheeseburger, currently $1.39 in our area with a small order of fries starting at $1.19. Their basic cheeseburger is $9.98 and includes their outstanding French fries, but service must, of course, be added. No, its not a fast-food joint, it’s a remake of the classic American diner. Top-line result: My “Gold Standard” for the classic cheeseburger is served by Silver Diner. As a long-time lover of the classic American cheeseburger, I make it a point to try them as they appear in my area. If the deal is a go, work on the space is tentatively scheduled to start in late summer.In recent years, what for lack of a better term I will call upscale fast-food burger joints have proliferated like mushrooms after a rain. We’ve reached out to One Loudoun and Big Buns for more information. ![]() No official word on whether the One Loudoun Big Buns deal is finalized or when it might open. The Big Buns menu specializes in gourmet burgers, chicken sandwiches, French fries and shakes.
