UPPER ARLINGTONNews & Information from Upper Arlington

Installaton and InspirationOne-sculptor show and juried UA exhibit are on gallery’s calendar

From metal and wire to ceramics and paper, Yas-ue Sakaoka is presenting

her extensive artistic abilities to the Upper Arlington commu-nity this spring.

“She’s taking it to the next level,” says Lynette Santoro-Au, arts manager for the City of Up-per Arlington.

Sakaoka, a native of Ja-pan, has been living in America since the 1980s, teaching stu-dents and creating art for more than 30 years. Santoro-Au and Sakaoka have been working together for the last 20 years. Sakaoka also curates exhibits and holds origami workshops for the community.

This year, Sakaoka’s work – including some of her metal sculptures, wirework, ceramics and paper – will be featured at the Concourse Gallery. Some of it will even be installed in the floor and on the ceiling. The exhibit opens May 4, and there will be a reception with Sakao-ka on May 10.

“She has contributed to the dialogue of the arts all over the state, including ex-tensive work in Dayton and the Dayton visual arts,” says Santoro-Au. “I have seen how her expression has changed over the years and how she has evolved as she has been working with a variety of different materials.”

As arts manager, Santoro-Au holds a full-time position with the city, one of only three such positions in Ohio. Other municipalities maintain their arts centers

through nonprofit sys-tems, but due to Upper Arlington’s commitment to the arts, there are full-time staff positions and volunteers who help produce the exhibits.

“Every day is a dif-ferent day, which is great,” Santoro-Au says.

Santoro-Au also oversees the arts in com-munity education and

arts in community spaces programs. This summer, the tradition of Music in the Parks will continue, as will the Labor Day Arts Festival at Northam Park. The free, outdoor summer concerts start June 9 at Amelita Mirolo Park.

The Concourse Gallery has been pro-ducing exhibits, bringing art and culture to the community for more than 40 years. The art is juried, which means it is select-ed by a committee based on skill, techni-cal ability and creativity. The gallery has

eight shows a year, and all exhibits are booked two years in advance. The goal of the vi-sual arts committee is to share as many kinds of art forms as it can with the public.

After the Yasue Sakaoka exhibit, viewers can come see artists from the neighborhood in the Celebrating UA exhibit at the beginning of July. The artists featured in the show are all local, with a variety of media, including painting, ceramics and collage works being presented.

“For Celebrating UA, we’ve had glass, wood and mixed mate-rials. We are always trying to do some-thing that shows the viewer a new theme,” says Santoro-Au. “Sometimes, the themes present themselves organically, and some-times, we come up with them.”

In previous years, themes have in-cluded rock-paper-scissors and 3-D work. In 2018, the gallery will highlight UA art-ists the entire year.

“We’re always trying to find more creators in the community to share their work. Right now, we’re using Instagram to find artists to add to our list. It’s an open invitation to the artists of the area,” says Santoro-Au.

In August, the next exhibit will be an artful book show, creating different works with books through painting and sculpting.

Fleurish Home, located at 2125 W. Fifth Ave. in Mar-ble Cliff, is a gift, home dé-

cor and paint shop all in one.“Not only do we offer a great

paint brand, Annie Sloan’s popu-lar Chalk Paint, but items that will empower our customers to be cre-ative,” said owner Debra Campbell. “We really want people to flourish, so we help them make beautiful flower arrangements and table set-tings, and teach them how to tap into their inner creativity by using Chalk Paint on just about anything.

After completing her bachelor’s de-gree in fashion merchandising at Bowling Green State University, Campbell started her career in visual merchandising for retail stores. At the same time, she was mastering the art of decorative finishing (gilding, faux finishes, glazes, murals). Traveling for her merchandising job became difficult after starting a family with her husband, Doug Campbell. So, in 2000, she started her own decorative finishing company, showcasing her skills in model homes, designer show houses and hundreds of homes and com-mercial projects. She won multiple national awards for her work.

In 2008, Campbell decided to use her knowledge, talents and experience by opening a studio and school to teach others the art of decorative finishing. It was here that a student introduced her to Chalk Paint.

“It was a complete game-changer,” Campbell said. “The more I used Chalk Paint, the more I liked it. What makes the paint so different is its quality and proper-

ties. It seldom chips, cleans up with soap and water, and ‘breathes’ with the piece being painted. You don’t have to prep the surface, and Chalk Paint will cover just about anything you have: furniture, plas-tic, oil paint, concrete and even wax.”

Campbell became a distributor of Chalk Paint via retailers and trade shows.

“Demand for the paint grew so much that it became obvious the studio setup was not working. I needed a store with regular retail hours. Doug, who was an electrician by day and helping me with large jobs and deliveries in the evenings and weekends, left his day job in 2013 to help me open my first Fleurish Home in Springboro, Ohio. We had always wanted to work together, so making this our family business was a dream come true,” said Campbell.

In addition to selling the full Annie Sloan line of Chalk Paint, they decided to offer home décor and gift items that add a refined rustic quality to everyday living and entertaining.

“We sell many items made by fellow artisans and network with creative people

in order to find unique h a n d m a d e things for our customers ,” she said.

In June 2014, the C a m p b e l l s

opened their second Fleurish Home in central Ohio.

“We chose Marble Cliff for our Columbus store based upon a friend’s recommendation. We love

the Tri-Village area, as it feels right for our kind of customers,” Campbell said. “I have a great Columbus staff eager to help our customers with painting projects and gift selection.”

In 2015, they opened a third store in Cincinnati, and they will open a fourth in Hamilton later this year. That store will have more painting space and a workshop where Doug can build furniture and re-store antiques.

“Although we live near Dayton with our four children – ages 21, 16, 8 and 1 – we get to our stores frequently. I enjoy meeting the people drawn to our stores,” Campbell said. “Whether they are singles buying paint to fix up their place or mar-ried couples updating their décor, I be-lieve our paint and home items will help them flourish in their lives and look beau-tiful while doing so.”

GRANDVIEW HEIGHTSinside

The Tri-Village Chamber Partnership is adding even more local flavor to its sixth annual Digfest.

Digfest, which stands for “Drinks in Grandview,” will be held 4-10:30 p.m. on June 11 in Grandview Yard.

Digfest started in 2011 as a festival for local craft brewers, craft distilleries and Ohio wines and liquors, and has grown into a food, drink, entertainment and craft fest. The event fo-cuses on getting people to eat, drink and shop at local busi-nesses.

“Digfest brings several thousand people into Grandview on the day of the event,” says Michelle Wilson, executive director of the Chamber Partnership. “(They will) most likely eat at area

restaurants before or after the event, as well as visit other retail establishments while in the area.”

Along with flavorful food and tasty drinks, Digfest also fea-tures bands and artists native to Columbus.

Angela Perley & the Howlin’ Moons is this year’s music headliner. The band formed in Columbus in 2009, and has since released four EPs and two albums. Its second album, Homemade Vision, was recorded in Columbus and released in January.

“I am excited (to play at Digfest) since I live in Grandview. It will be fun to represent my neighborhood,” says lead singer Angela Perley.

Angela Perley & the Howlin’ Moons features Perley on vocals, electric guitar and musical saw, and longtime friends Billy Zehnal and Chris Connor on bass and lead guitar, respectively. Different drummers ro-tate in and out while the band tours.

The band looks forward to coming home for Digfest.

“Hometown shows are the best,” says Perley. “We see a lot of friends and family at the shows, and the support is always the strongest in Columbus.”

Vendors and the rest of the entertain-ment line-up will be announced closer to the date of the event. The Chamber Partnership and the City of Grandview Heights work closely together to help Digfest run as smoothly as possible.

Digfest came to be when the then-Grandview Chamber of Commerce – then still organizing the annual Taste of Grandview – wanted to develop another unique event for the community.

“At that time, local craft beer was just beginning to make a splash in Ohio,

and we thought it would be fun to pro-mote,” says Wilson.

Each drink ticket is $3. Full drinks are offered for two drink tickets, and samples are offered for one drink ticket. Credit cards and cash are accepted at the event.

Wilson says the festival will have a nice change of scenery, as it takes place in a different part of Grandview Yard this year, near the new public park that

serves as a gathering place for the Grand-view community.

“We look forward to growing this event each year,” Wilson says.

Lisa Ingram never thought she’d be-come the CEO of White Castle.

Ingram says she has always been proud that her great-grandfather, Billy Ingram, was one of the hamburger chain’s founders in Kansas in 1921. But the Upper Arlington resident wanted to make her own path – a path that ultimate-ly led her back to the family business.

“I wanted to go out and explore the world,” says Ingram, who grew up in Up-per Arlington and attended Upper Arling-ton High School, where she was the foot-

ball cheerleading captain, a lacrosse and field hockey player, a part of the yearbook staff – and a White Castle employee over the course of a couple summers. “I wanted to see a different city, and I wasn’t sure if I would ever come back and work in the family business.”

Ingram stayed in Dallas for about a decade.

“I enjoyed spreading my wings in a different way, and making my own way,” she says. “No one knew who my family was in Dallas.”

She kept in touch with White Castle’s marketing director, a woman she had worked for while employed at the restau-rant during her summers as a high school student. One day, she told Ingram she was looking for a marketing manager, and wondered if Ingram was interested.

“At that point, I had to figure out if I wanted to work in the family business or not,” Ingram says. “That job offer and her phone call really made me think.”

Ingram went back home to Colum-bus and accepted the job. She worked in marketing for two years and also tackled a master’s degree in business at

UA resident and White Castle CEO found her own path before returning to the family business

Out and About in Upper Arlington with Lisa IngramThe Fourth of July is Ingram’s favorite time of year.“When I was in college, I would come back, just because it’s such a big deal

here,” Ingram says. “I have very fond memories of being in the parade as a cheer-leader. The patriotism, the fireworks in Northam Park – that holiday is definitely one of my greatest childhood memories.”

Ingram, who has four children – one girl and three boys, ages 11, 5, 7 and 9 – with her husband, Greg Guy, says it’s easy to find great activities in the area for the kids.

“I love that my kids can walk to school and that we’re so close to the parks,” she says. “That community feeling is what makes Upper Arlington great. It’s great having neighbors who share the same values and appreciation for the community.”

Ingram enjoys shopping and dining along Lane Avenue and visiting the Upper Arlington Public Library. Upper Arlington’s proximity to Downtown and the OSU campus is another draw. Ingram says she and her family will often ride their bikes to OSU games.

“That’s a great way to stay healthy and avoid traffic,” she says. “This community is a place that very much welcomes that and wants to help make an impact.”

The Ohio State University. She received several job offers after she finished her degree, and initially thought she might go into consulting.

“My father gave me an offer I didn’t think I could refuse,” Ingram says. “So, I went back.”

Ingram says her father, Bill Ingram, left her very big shoes to fill. He retired at the end of 2015 after 35 years with the company. But Ingram says she was more than ready to step up to the challenge.

“We had three successful generations of progress and prosperity,” Ingram says. “I think the expectation to not be the gen-eration to screw it up weighs heavily on my mind. They set the bar very high, so I’m always making sure that I’m doing what I can to honor the past but make sure we are relevant to the future. Mixing that together is hard to do sometimes, but if we keep doing it, we’ll see great things.”

The best part of her job, Ingram says, is getting to talk about White Castle, its 95-year-old history and her grandfather’s

legacy. At the time White Castle was founded in Kansas, Ingram says, ham-burgers weren’t a popular food. Her great-grandfather wanted to sell the burgers for five cents apiece; that way, everyone could afford them. White Castle ended up grow-ing eastward, since that’s where most of the population was. The business officially moved to Columbus in 1934.

Ingram also serves on the Ohio-Health, United Way of Central Ohio, Co-lumbus Partnership and National Restau-rant Association boards.

The Commissary has helped food entrepreneurs start and grow

their businesses since 2014.

Located at 1400 Dublin Rd., the Commissary provides

chefs with kitchen space, hot lines, prep lines, food storage, business

lessons and opportunities to showcase their food.

Its goal is to be “Where Food Connects Community,” and it’s clear

that the food professionals who use the facility are working toward that

end, but they are also using food to connect family – to which a father-

son team, a mother and her two sons and a pair of sisters can attest.

Let’s take a look at these family affairs and the impact their time at the

Commissary has had on their businesses.

Heating UpCreative culinary minds at work at the Commissary

Brier Hill Sausage Co.The Brier Hill Sausage Co. was found-

ed by the father-son team of Jerry Pallante II and Jerry Pallante III, making good on a family sausage tradition that goes back four generations. They even use the same family recipe and hand-cranked sausage stuffer that has been part of their family tradition since the 1800s.

“Starting Brier Hill Sausage Co. was never about how much money we can make, but rather a way for us to work to-gether in keeping alive and sharing with others a tradition worthy of being pre-served,” says Pallante III.

Brier Hill Sausage Co. utilizes nearly all the Commissary has to offer, and it is even in the process of planning and tak-ing part in a dinner that features a tasting menu of Commissary-produced foods.

“The versatility of the Commissary is one of the things that make it so appealing to us,” says Pallante III.

The Pallantes also chose the Commis-sary because it doesn’t make sense for a small-scale business with intentions such as theirs to rent, buy or build a commer-cial kitchen facility. They also see using the Commissary as a way to make an im-pact in Columbus that goes beyond sim-ply selling their sausages.

“We are able to support our local growers and, in the end, have a positive impact on the quality of the local food supply,” says Pallante III.

Retro Dinner DivaStephanie Eakins has been using the

Commissary since it opened its doors. Ea-kins’ business, Retro Dinner Diva, creates oven-ready meals and casseroles to be de-livered to your door, and she says that if it weren’t for the Commissary, she probably wouldn’t be in business.

“The Commissary allows me to keep a positive cash flow, as I only rent the kitchen space as my business dictates,” Eakins says. “If it’s a busy week, I book more hours in the kitchen.”

This positive cash flow allowed Ea-kins to hire her sister, Jennie Hempfling, last year. Hempfling, in addition to her regular job, works with Eakins part-time every weekend doing food preparation and deliveries.

Eakins loves having the help, but there’s something she finds even more valuable about having her sister join her business.

“There’s something comforting about Jennie being family, because I feel like she’s definitely committed to our success,” says Eakins.

The sisters have seen Retro Dinner Diva increase its sales more than 60 per-cent from 2014 to 2015, and Eakins is de-termined not to let it stop there.

“My brain never stops, and I’m always thinking of different ways to expand or provide better service,” she says.

Eakins also appreciates the camara-derie among the Commissary’s business-es, noting, “You see it in little meaning-ful ways.”

Whether it is sampling one another’s food and giving feedback, sharing ideas, or simply jamming to music together while they work, the sense of family at the Commissary includes and goes beyond the actual bloodlines.

North Country Charcuterie

The North Country Charcuterie consists of chef James Forbes; his broth-er, Duncan Forbes, who works in sales and taste testing; and their mother, Jane Forbes, who deals with business and

aesthetics. The Forbes began using the Commissary this past November to cre-ate their cured meats and to smoke their coffee bacon.

While the food prep and storage areas are vital to North Country Charcuterie’s business, Duncan explains that there was

something else the Commissary provided that their business couldn’t.

“We started working there because it is an Ohio Department of Agriculture in-spected facility,” Duncan says. “Without the ODA approval, North Country Char-cuterie wouldn’t be able to produce meat

products without building its own cost-prohibitive facility.”

Like many of the businesses that use the Commissary, North Country Charcute-rie take pride in sourcing 95 percent of its ingredients from Ohio businesses, includ-ing meat, cheese, herbs and spices, craft beer and wine.

The Forbes family intends to use its time at the Commissary as a launching pad to one day have its own brick-and-mortar salumeria. Until then though, members will enjoy their time at the Commissary.

“We love working here,” says Duncan. “It’s an amazing resource for central Ohio.”

On May 12, the Columbus Zoo

and Aquarium will host the 11th

annual Discover the Dream gala

in benefit of St. Jude, complete with zoo

animals, St. Jude patient speakers, dinner

and drinks.Since it began in 2006, Discover the Dream has

raised a whopping $3.4 million for St. Jude’s Chil-dren’s Research Hospital and has sold out its 700 seats for the last eight years. And it all started right in Upper Arlington.

Lisa Khourie and David Karam – siblings, co-chairs and founders of Discover the Dream – have a storied past with St. Jude. The pair’s father, Joe Karam, was involved with the founding of St. Jude itself, and being involved in fundraisers and events in support of St. Jude was part of their growing up. Having worked with St. Jude since childhood, “it was in our blood,” says Khourie.

“We’ve all been involved with St. Jude the bulk of our life, so we found a number of ways to support the work of the hospital,” says Karam. “The inspiration – if you will – that developed out of the desire to achieve, raise awareness and make money for St. Jude, and Columbus is a very gener-ous community in support of St. Jude.”

Discover the Dream showcases patients’ sto-ries and the work done at St. Jude by inviting pa-tients and their families to speak at the event, and invites the families back to the gala each year.

“Listening to the patients up there on stage, knowing that we see some of them from year to year because they survive … their families come to the event still because we invite them,” says Khourie.

“My preference is for all the focus to be on the children that not only have been treated, but

the ones that have overcome cancer and the illnesses that they have been treated for and the souls that didn’t make it and their families,” says Karam. “St. Jude is a place of hope, but there’s also a lot of suffering that comes from there.”

The hospital, founded in 1962, is a nonprofit pediatric research and treat-ment hospital based in Memphis. The hospital is based on the premise that “no child should die in the dawn of life,” and covers the cost of treatment of a variety of illnesses, from leukemia and lympho-ma to sickle cell disease to HIV.

“It’s not just that the children are treated and cared for, but all the costs associated with that,” says Karam. “Transport or housing or meals or pro-viding for the continuing education of the child – these are all things provided at St. Jude for children who are typically among the sickest children in America.”

As a community event, Discover the Dream has helped Karam and Khourie form lasting relationships with patients, their families and organizations within the community – a headliner being Jack Hanna, director emeritus of the zoo. Per-haps the biggest reason Hanna and his wife, Suzi, ended up in Columbus was so their daughter Julie could receive treat-ment for leukemia at St. Jude through Na-tionwide Children’s Hospital. After Dis-cover the Dream’s inaugural year, when it was held at the Ohio State Fairgrounds, Karam approached Hanna about becom-ing a part of Discover the Dream. Hanna is now honorary event chairman with Discover the Dream, and the gala has been held at the zoo ever since.

“I would say that the relationship with Jack Hanna and Suzi Hanna and their daughter Julie is probably one of the most important in my life,” says Karam. “The good fortune to become one of their good friends has been a rich reward for me and for my wife.”

Because of its laid-back nature and zoo locale, Karam and Khourie believe the event is one Columbus area resi-dents look forward to each year.

“They’re at the zoo, they’re by the water and I think that people have be-come passionate about the event as well,” says Khourie. “We have been so blessed to sell out at 700 people every year.”

“I just cannot begin to describe to you the emotions that you feel at these

families and patients that come, and the gratitude they feel,” says Karam. “They want to make sure the people who are supporting St. Jude know how much they appreciate it, and it is a place of hope. That’s what I would say is the most rewarding part of this event.”

Thirty years ago, Upper Arlington’s own Scioto Country Club hosted the 1986 U.S. Senior Open. Now, in 2016, the championship is coming back

for another round – this time for the coun-try club’s 100th anniversary.

The 2016 U.S. Senior Open, a cham-pionship for men’s professional senior golf, will play at the country club Aug. 8-14.

“Shortly after the 1986 championship, we always felt like it would be right to bring it back,” says Walt Dennis, the champion-ship’s general chairman. “Back in 2008 and 2009, we were looking ahead to our 100th anniversary at the club and thinking how great it would be to have an event (such as the U.S. Senior Open).”

There’s a lot that goes into hosting the championship, Dennis says, and that in-cludes preparing the golf course and assur-ing the U.S. Senior Open is beneficial to the community.

“We hope to crown a champion as worthy as the course is,” Dennis says. “The central Ohio community needs to benefit, too, and we’re expecting great economic benefits as well as a great experience for our members.”

Members of the Scioto Country Club will have to give up their access to the club about six days prior to the championship, as well as during the event, Dennis says.

“It needs to be financially beneficial,” Dennis says. “Con-necting it to our 100th anniversary ensures it will be.”

Over the course of the championship, spectators and play-ers alike will be encouraged to pay visits to Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights and Marble Cliff-area staples, as well as at-tractions around the central Ohio area.

A Matter of CourseThirty years later, UA sets the stage for the 2016 U.S. Senior Open By Hannah Bealer

What to Know: VolunteeringThe 2016 U.S. Senior Open is seeking 1,800-2,000 vol-

unteers. More than 1,000 are already signed up, and more than 300 are Scioto Country Club members, Dennis says.

Volunteers are expected to work three six-hour shifts over the seven-day period. Volunteers can decide to tackle more shifts if they wish.

“Some folks don’t want to miss a minute, so they’ll give you seven shifts,” Dennis says.

Most positions are available for those over the age of 18, though volunteers ages 12 and older can serve as standard bearers. Volunteers ages 14-17 can serve alongside a parent or guardian.

Volunteers will be able to sign up through July.“We won’t be turning off that opportunity until the last

minute,” Dennis says.For more information and to register to volunteer, visit

What to Know: TransportationThe U.S. Senior Open’s main admis-

sions gate will be right off U.S. Rt. 33, Dennis says. Most of the parking areas around the country club will be used for hospitality and service parking. The major public parking will be west of the Ohio Stadium.

The commute from the parking area to the Scioto Country Club will be about seven minutes, Dennis says.

“We’re working very, very well with CampusParc and The Ohio State Uni-versity, so we will have a great shuttle service from west campus parking,” Dennis says.

Worth the WaitDuring the past 10 years, Justin

Collamore and his wife, Allison, have been renovating and living

in the brick home at 1788 Guilford Rd.

From exposing a fireplace hidden behind paneling to tearing out shag carpet to finding a brick archway in the kitchen in the thick of demolition, the Collamores

A decade of renovation brings home from the 1960s to present day

Before the Collamores moved in, the dining room walls were adorned with a bright, busy floral wallpaper, and the wood floors needed some love. The couple painted the walls and refinished the floors while leaving some of the home’s original charm, such as the trim and crown molding.

living By Amanda DePerro 5 STAR FACILITY

Congratulations to Darby Glenn for being

ranked as a 5 Star Facility by the Centers for

Medicare and Medicaid.

Justin let the room breathe again after tearing out the paneling in the living room to expose a beautiful fireplace and replacing the shag carpet with a light wood floor.

24 May/June 2016 • www.trivillagemagazine.com

Left and far left: The kitchen was the Collamores’ first big project; their aim was to expand it until they found a beautiful brick archway in the wall, which is now exposed and separates the living room from the kitchen. Floral wallpaper seemed to be a central theme prior to the Collamores’ move. Justin installed granite countertops, replaced the cabinets and moved the sink. By rearranging the refrigerator, replacing the inward-swinging shutters and modifying the window between the kitchen and living room, the Collamores opened up the space and gave it a larger feel.

Right and far right: After the brick archway

was discovered during the kitchen demolition,

the Collamores opted to maintain the size

of the kitchen and expose the archway, leaving a major part of the original home

untouched and adding a rustic feel to the space.

have tackled it – all to bring the home out of the 1960s and into the present.

Before the Collamores moved in, the Upper Arlington house’s last ma-jor facelift was in 1961. So Justin and Allison, co-owners of Collamore Built Residential Design and Construction in Upper Arlington, knew the home needed a ton of work.

“My wife and I both had a vision for what it could be clearly,” says Jus-tin. “It’s a beautiful older home, so I don’t know that there was any certain inspiration to it, but when we went through it, we tried to keep the integ-rity of the house; any details or trim that were left while still updating it.”

Though the Collamores are still renovating the master bath and plan to build a new garage, the interior of the home is approaching completion after a long 10 years, as Justin opted to put his own home on hold while he worked on his clients’ with Collamore Built.

“Everybody else gets to go first,” says Justin. “But my wife finally said after 10 years, ‘I’d like to have a master bathroom.’”

There are some upsides to being the boss of a design and construction company. Justin gets first pickings of the features torn out of Collamore Built clients’ homes.

“One of the recent things we did is we salvaged a fireplace mantle out of a project that we were doing for someone else, and we were going to throw it out,” says Justin. “Our fireplace had been sealed behind paneling, so we opened that up and put the mantle in there.”

The Buster Mac’s Food Truck is a family affair. Clara Valentino and her father, Rocco Valentino, started their business serving gourmet burgers, shakes and fries to central Ohio in October 2015.

Buster Mac’s, which utilizes the Commissary, has seven gourmet burgers on its menu: five beef-based burgers (including one topped with a hot dog), one salmon burger and a vegetarian burger made from smoked cheddar and lentils. If there’s a standout among this distinguished group though, it’s likely the Four Cheese Burger, and for good reason.

The burger gets its name from the Amish Swiss, Amish cheddar, goat and Romano cheeses that top the locally sourced 1⁄3-pound beef patty. Kale, onion and tomato also manage to find some space between the brioche bun, and diners have the choice to top it all off with bacon or a fried egg if they desire. Ph

Rocco, who serves as the executive chef for the food truck and crafted the recipe, believes there are two key factors behind this burger’s succulent success.

“The goat cheese is really what makes it, and the Romano adds a nice rustic look and salty flavor,” he says.

Clara agrees, adding that customers frequently compliment the goat cheese, especially.

No burger experience is complete without a side and drink, and Buster Mac’s recommends pairing the Four Cheese with the shake of your choice, such as the sea-sonal Reese’s Cup Cheesecake shake, as well as its sea salt “Perfect Hand Cut Fries.”
