Is the bun used on the charburger a pretzel roll? If so, then either I misunderstand what a pretzel roll (bun) is, or the restaurant has made a change in the past two weeks. The bun I had was surprisingly (to me) good, and offered good support and was a nice compliment to the excellent meat patty. Thanks, for whatever insight/explanation you can provide to resolve this question for me.

Forgive a little bit of a rant here. Why exactly is anyone begrudging the owner of a new restaurant's attempts to generate some heat about his new business in a down economy in an area where an astronomical number of new ventures fail. I have not made it to Edzo's yet but I, for one, appreciate that attention is being directed at Edzo's as opposed to any number of fudruckers-type burger places that might open and fail quickly. I find it easy to get excited about a new place that serves *gasp* house ground hand formed burgers, fresh cut fries and high quality hand-dipped shakes. I noticed later in the thread that elakin says all of the pr is his own doing...good for you---it proves that a good product doesnt need PR professionals to get noticed and to get people excited about a new restaurant. I think the hype that you feel is over the top is actually knowledgeable food people getting excited about quality product and their hopes that you, the general public, will get excited about something that is good too.
If all of this "engineering" serves the purpose of getting people through the door at Edzo so that he can actually make the place work, feed his family and have some quality of life then I have a hard time understanding what about this is over the top. You might be happy stuffing your gullet at another quiznos, mcdonalds or any other corporate restaurant but I prefer to spend my money elsewhere and sadly, in this economy, options are shrinking.

I ordered a griddled burger with cheddar and bacon, the garlic fries and a nutella shake. The burger was the part that made it just pretty good. I found the beef to be very salty....
