Burgers with Buck: BeetleCat

Burgers with Buck visits BeetleCat in Inman Park, where chef Ford Fry makes the case for the tavern burger: a neighborhood-style burger that falls between a smash burger and a steakhouse burger. It’s made with chuck-brisket beef, Duke’s mayonnaise, American cheese and onion on a potato roll, and is served medium rare unless requested otherwise. Despite BeetleCat’s seafood and oyster-bar specialties, Buck says this is one burger you shouldn’t sleep on.
