Crunchy Burger from The Fix on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, MA

The recently renovated space formerly occupied by the departure of the original Mezcal to their new larger restaurant lends itself well to Niche Hospitality Groups latest venture. The Fix is a welcome addition to Shrewsbury Street offering higher end burgers, cocktails and shakes.

After reviewing the menu I opted for a fairly traditional burger called “The Crunchy” which was their house hamburger mix topped with fried prosciutto, a Parmesan crisp, potato chips and garlic mayo, mustard and pickles on a sesame roll. For good measure (and to add a little health to this burger) I opted to add avocado. The burger was a well prepared perfectly cooked top quality hamburger. The Parmesan crisp was the highlight of the burger served like a slice of cheese this baked crunchy Parmesan crisp was a guilty pleasure similar to when you make a grilled cheese and eat the cheese that has crisped up in the bottom of the frying pan. The crispy prosciutto and avocado also added to make this a great burger.

The one area that I think could use a little improvement would be the fries. The fries I had as well as the other varieties I sampled all seemed like they could have benefitted from a little more seasoning and being a little crispier. Overall The Fix is a great choice if you are looking for a gourmet burger. The staff was friendly and helpful and the burgers were worth the trip.

Patron Cocktail Lab

Patron has events to showcase creative new cocktails using their tequilas—called Cocktail Labs. This current theme is “hot drink,” requiring the use of one hot ingredient and a Patron product.

Mixologist David Delaney of Niche Hospitality has taken the challenge by creating a twist on a hot buttered rum. His concoction consists of Patron Anejo, Mango Butter (an ingredient David made with mango, cinnamon and vanilla bean), bitters, agave nectar, and boiling water, with a nutmeg and cinnamon garnish.

Stop down The Citizen and ask for the cocktail lab drink, and vote for his drink through the Patron Cocktail Lab through February 7th.
