When the question “Who has the best burger in town?” is asked, we’ll enthusiastically scream Burger Bach before you have time to blink! And now, according to Style Weekly, the New Zealand inspired gastropub will start brunch service this Saturday, December 1st. Eggs and sandwiches will be served from 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM on Saturdays and Sundays.
