As I returned to my old stomping grounds of FM 1488, I decided to hit a small sports bar that was relatively new called "The Draft". I had always seen very interesting advertisements on Facebook for their crawfish specials (which my fiance loves), but I had never gone to try their food until now, and while I wasn't disappointed, I also don't think I was missing much.
The Draft boasts 3 different craft burgers, and while all of them I am sure are good in different ways, the option of having some smoked pork on the burger caught my eyes as one of my Top 10 burgers has pork on it, so I was hoping to hit 2 for 2.
The smoked pork was actually VERY good, it probably was my favorite part of the burger but it was in no way as good as Tewbelaux's pork that they put on their burger. The bacon that was on the burger was crispy and was full of flavor still, so I was very excited about that.
Unfortunately, this is pretty much where the end of the good parts of the burger. They had the typical LTO that was nothing special and then they slapped what was probably just a regular slice of cheese on the burger that was so thin, I could barely tell it was there at bites.
The meat of the burger was also pretty average. While it didn't taste bad, it seemed like they overcooked it and I had a quite of few charred bites for being a "medium" cooked burger. It also didn't have any seasoning that I could taste which just doesn't help progress this burger up the taste ladder more.
While this place is great for crawfish and by no means is it a "bad" burger, I think there are better places you can go to get a burger on 1488. (However, they do have $6 burger and fries on Mondays, so if you happen to be out on a Monday, I can fully endorse it for a quick, cheap lunch).

VERDICT: 3 out of 5 Stars.
And so the Chase continues…
