A faint glimpse of the sun this past Saturday afternoon necessitated a trip to Flatbush Farm. The back patio is open for the season and it's a great spot to gather with friends for drinks and vittles, but the burger leaves a bit to be desired. On the plus side, the burger was successfully cooked to order- medium rare was indeed medium rare. Juicy it was, but flavorful it was not. Raw red onions were overly abundant and utterly useless in my opinion. The bacon add-on (removed) was overcooked and gray in color, which is just plain wrong. As for the bun, well I think my friend summed it up perfectly: "I don't like having my burger on a croissant." Neither of us were a fan of the brioche-like bun. I gave up on the burger about half-way through and turned my attention solely to the fries which were excellent (twice fried). Next time I might just say "hold the burger."
