Our food critic Robert Moss takes a look at the “Serious Burger” this week, the trend of burger-centric and non-burger centric to load up patties with pimento cheese, onion rings, fried green tomatoes, apple-smoked bacon, and whatever else they can think of.

Our restaurant reviewer Robert Moss makes the case for the grass-fed burgers at Triangle Char & Bar.
