More campus food


Husky Burger By George

Alright, so I haven't had a burger in a while, decided that since my bus wasn't coming around for a while, I'd get around to this place. By George is probably the only other place on UW campus outside of Pickles and Fries at the HUB that sells burgers, and is probably one of the few dining commons that hasn't undergone major renovation. While By George is probably technically comprised of various establishments, it's essentially one single cafeteria with multiple dining options, much more what you'd consider to be typical collegiate cafeteria dining experience. The burgers are stored at "The Grill" (very unoriginally named), and everything is pretty much pre-made, you just go and grab what you want and pay on your way out.

The Husky Burger is a poor shadow of its counterpart sold at The Ram. Essentially, what it strives to be is something along the lines of half of a Big Mac. The meat quality though is significantly better than that of McDonald's. I also like the tang to the Thousand Island sauce. However,, aside from that, it's a fairly uninspired burger. The fixings aren't exactly fresh and the bun is a generic (slightly over toasted) sesame bun. Overall, it could've been better, but it could've been worse.

The fresh cut style fries are quite nice, but overall, it's more a dining experience of convenience than anything I'd go out of my way for.
