It was a long time that we were away from the pub, but now we're back, baby, sipping on lager, laughing and eating with friends. The flavor's back, too, and this burger is example A, as the cheddar/apple on this burger is nothing short of sublime. The mustard-y potato salad pairs beautifully with the burger, completing a meal that brings us back to normal in all the best ways.
