Salt Kitchen & Rum Bar, Ipswich TOP 10 BURGERS READERS' CHOICE VOTES photographs by, left to right, Elise Sinagra and Joseph Ferraro Sourcing local meats, head chef Chris Tighe seasons his burgers in such a way that they can stand alone—no tomato, no lettuce, no onion, mustard, or ketchup necessary. That's how I ate one, and I've never had a better burger. 1 Market St., Ipswich, 978- 356-0002, saltkitchenandrumbar.com BURGER, GOURMET BRASSERIE 28 Chef Matthew Morello's burgers start out simple enough with Painted Hills beef, charred red onion, watercress, and whole grain mustard. But top all that with seared foie gras or fried local clams and you have a perfect haute cuisine creation between the buns. Not to be missed are the hand- cut frites with Parmesan and herbs with a side of wasabi aioli or truffle ketchup. The menu at Brasserie 28 changes seasonally and I can assure you that the perfection does not stop at the burgers. Morello mas- ters all the dishes on his menu! 2 Elm Sq., Andover, 978-470-2228, brasserie28.com R E A D E R S' C H O I C E L E X I E ' S O N S T A T E BUTCHER SHOP EVA'S ORGANIC FARM BUTCHER SHOP Eva's is about so much more than selling meat—it's about the philosophy behind the production of high-quality meats; it's about sustainability.
