Burger Club was uniformly disappointed in its trip to Founding Farmers. Several BC members had been before and enjoyed their experiences so we had high hopes, but burgers are not this restaurant's forte. There were two primary problems: the meat itself and the way in which it was cooked. My burger had definite fishy notes - offputting to say the least.
The texture was also odd - what I can only describe as an unpleasant combination of mushy and spongy. The second problem was that none of our burgers were cooked to order. All the medium-rares came out of the kitchen solid mediums, while those that ordered mediums got well-dones.
The final insult was the inexplicably small martini I was served. It was about half the size of a normal martini; the gin didn't even cover the first olive on the skewer. I rate the burger at Founding Farmers a 3. The martini gets a solid 0.
The ambiance is nice - good lighting, friendly atmosphere, comfortable furniture. But a comfy chair hardly makes up for fishy beef and the most ridiculous martini I've ever seen.
