Bite of the Week

The Plazaburger 

 

The Plaza Tavern, 319 N. Henry St. 

 

 

 

The Scoop: While the Plazaburger may be ""world famous,"" you've probably never tried it. Pack your friends into a cozy booth and taste a piece of Madison history. The whole wheat bun is slathered with tangy ‘Plaza Sauce' and the freshly-griddled burger is juicier than a Brangelina breakup story. 

 

Health Implications: If you really care, scoot up to the bar and witness the birth of a Plazaburger—but know that the greasy griddle adds a flavorful character that no spotlessly clean kitchen can ever hope for. 

 

Value: Plop down your $3.25 and enjoy. Be sure to order an extra cup of Plaza Sauce for sloppy dipping.
