Comments:

My issue with restaurants in general is consistency, or I should say, the lack of it. It's that hint of apprehension while ordering, that trace of doubt crossing my mind that my meal may not be the same quality as last time I was there.

Based on my visits, I no longer have these worries. The West Essex Diner is cooking up some very good burgers and they are always served at the temperature I order (medium to med-rare).

The Boss Man Burger was no exception. Commonly referred to as a "Fatty Melt", the Boss Man Burger is a bacon cheeseburger tucked between 2 buttery grilled cheese sandwiches with perfectly crisp bacon. My only gripe about this sandwich was the cheese, it wasn't melted enough... other than that, a great overall  burger. Enjoy the photos, burger photos are mine, others are from the Internet.

This burger gets an 8.8/10 on the BC rating scale.
