I'm a blogger, I'm a gobbler, it's Halloween night.  I write to share the pono burger.  I heard about it on the news last week and then Sasha, an employee of Bristol Farms, new, beautiful market, recommended it.  I was on my way back from Brick & Mortar Restaurant (of course, trying their burger), when I saw the aluminum siding building that only had the word, Burgers, on it.  I could smell it.  A parking spot was open, a sign from the burger Gods!  I went in to be pleasantly surprised.  After I entered the "Quansett"(hut) building, as informed by Brian, my wonderful server, with a down to earth presence, calming.  I ordered the "Classic", chuck, (grass-fed) onion marmalade, Hook's 1 year old cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, on a brioche bun.  The burger arrived with the meat peeking out at me.  Delicious first bite, hot, flavorful, fresh and fantastic.  I loved biting into the dill pickle slice. 
They use white oak to cook their meat and Marlin comes to Pono with tons of great experience, but most of all, heart and a true love for cooking for people. 
Tasting left overs the next day I was surprised to have the Brick & Mortar burger stand out.  I give Pono's a 9.
