Dirty Martin's

Zach:  SO, I don't generally expect a lot from Dirty Martin's.  They are probably the weakest burger spot in the bracket at the final 8 and there are several places that didn't make it I would take over them.  But, that's how bracket's work, sometimes good teams/burgers don't always win when they should or bad teams/burgers have really good days.  Anyways, not expecting a lot, after eating at Dirty Martin's, I was not too suprised.  The burger was solid as usual.  I didn't really think the meat was very flavorful and the bacon was not either and was kind of soft and chewy and not crisp or tasty.  Their sides are as usual kind of weak and the onion rings weren't as good as previous trips.  The fries were pretty good.  Tots were the same as all tots, ever.  Yes, their special prize for best ice is still intact.  Love that ice.

Your Moms

Zach:  Always look forward to a burger at Your Moms, especially the Buffalo Bill burger which is now what I always get.  I believe everyone else got this as well this time.  To me this is probably the most flavor in a burger in Austin going above and beyond just the meat/bread dynamic.  It's got cheese, and ranch, and bacon, and buffalo sauce, and tomatoes and it's all just coming at you and it's a good mix.  Their fries were much improved this time.  They seemed more battered and were really good.  Almost like a dessert from a state fair.  Rings are good too.  The atmosphere is still kind of meh, but when the main guy is working the counter he is really cool and that helps out.  Overall pretty strong score from everyone.
