All Blue Moon photos taken by MvB.
Looks like our long national nightmare is over, as the Capitol Hill branch of Blue Moon Burgers, in the Joule building on the north end of Broadway, is set to finally open this Thursday at 11 a.m. (but keep tabs via their Twitter feed for the most up-to-date status). The SunBreak was at their soft opening a couple weeks ago to check out the new digs and get some grub.
Menus for your burger perusal pleasure.
The menu is the same as at Blue Moon’s other locations, in Fremont and South Lake Union, with various fried appetizers (hello, deep-fried jalapeno slices), specialty burgers, or the make-your-own option, which could easily get deadly.
Nice beard, hippie. Now get a job.
Blue Moon’s interior is bright and brand-new shiny, and guess what, they passed their final health inspection, ladies.
Now THAT is a cheeseburger.
MvB ordered your basic bacon cheeseburger, which is a good litmus test of how well a place makes a burger in general. This one was sweating and dripping grease, if you’re into that sort of thing. (Oh god, yes.)
Audrey opted for the Blue Bayou burger (“coated with Cajun spices, blackened and topped with a healthy portion of crumbled blue cheese, fresh lettuce, tomato, sweet red onions, pickles & our Blue Moon sauce on a SODO roll”). As you can tell by the photo, if you ask for extra Blue Moon sauce–a spicy mayo-based admixture–you get *extra* Blue Moon sauce. This is very important, at least to me. Don’t scrimp on my condiments, son!
Bacon all around! Burgers for you, burgers for me, let's eat at Blue Moon and be happy.
