    Chef-owner Tim Byres (F&W People's Best New Chef 2012) relies on an in-kitchen wood grill and smoke pit to smoke and cure almost every item on the menu. He serves his mega burger with a soft-cooked egg fritter, thick house-smoked bacon and smoked sharp cheddar on a homemade honey roll. less

      Yellow cornmeal produces a dessert that has a rich, golden color, but you could use white cornmeal instead.
