Description:
Area is known as Roland Park. When the Classic Catering folks took over Alonso's several years ago, regulars quietly wondered what would become of the corner bar/restaurant's signature staple -- a 24-ounce mound of meat that qualifies as the holy grail of hamburgers. Alonso's pub-grub menu was replaced with more upscale fare, and the smoky center bar gave way to a new long rail that opened up space for a few more tables. But the 24-ounce burger, and its 16-ounce little brother, were spared and now continue to satisfy gargantuan appetites while eliciting contented Homer Simpson-like sighs. When the big burger -- dubbed The Alonso Meal -- makes its way through the dining area, heads turn in amazement, and rightfully so. The beefy sandwich dwarfs the smattering of French fries served with it, and it's nearly impossible to eat the whole thing without losing either the top or bottom portion of the bun. Plan your dining time wisely, as the gastronomic granddaddy takes at least 15-20 minutes to prepare (but the good news is, if you order it medium well, it'll come that way -- not crispy on the outside and rare in the middle). Alonso Burger $12with Bacon $13.50Alonso’s famous one-pound hamburger cooked to order,served on a Kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato and fries.Includes choice of cheese: American, Cheddar, Blue, PepperJack, Swiss, Provolone or Fresh Mozzarella
