Hey Guys,

Thanks for all your submissions! We here at VoltaggioBrothers.com looked them over, and the Brothers' favorite review was from a Seattle reader, Michael Kim!

Here's the review!

Matt's in the Market | Seattle, WA | Don & Joe's Lamb Burger

Matt's is perched on the third floor of a building that shares the same view of the Sound as the Public Market Center sign. Reservations are highly recommended, especially on weekends. This place fills up fast, and for good reason. The entire staff is incredibly helpful, friendly, and unpretentious. I always imagine really good restaurants having secret laboratories in the back that hold the secrets to their deliciously addictive food. But Matt's kitchen is not only open, but also indicative of the homey atmosphere. Every time I go, it feels like Matt's having me over for dinner with a couple of friends.

Enter Don & Joe's Lamb Burger. If I were a lamb, this is how I'd want to die, sitting on a brioche bun next to my best friends: bacon, herb mayo, goat cheese, and sweet onion jam. Normally, I find goat cheese to be a bit of an attention hog, but not this time. The goat cheese melts beautifully with the herb mayo, bringing out the best of the bacon and lamb.  And don't even get me started on the sweet onion jam. That jam is to die for. The sweet onion jam helps balance out the savory nature of a bacon and lamb burger. All this comes next to a refreshing side of chickpea-sultana salad, which I'm pretty sure is just there to make you feel like you ate something healthy for lunch.

The next two times I went, that's all I got.  I was addicted. I've branched out over the past few months, but this burger still kills the grill. If you have room, get the Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding. It will change your life. Again (assuming the burger changes your life, which it will).

Matt: Will you still let me eat here if I ask you to lamb my burger and bread my pudding?

Have a great weekend everyone!

-Audie
