So if there&#8217;s a dish that combines both in one, you can bet I&#8217;ll be ordering it. Only available on the weekend Farmer&#8217;s Breakfast menu, this open-faced burger immediately reminded me of a gourmet, locally sourced, next-level McGriddle (in a good way, of course). It packs three kinds of meat \u2013 canadian bacon, applewood bacon, and the grass-fed beef patty \u2013 plus cheddar and an chive-flecked egg, all atop a slice of syrup-soaked cinnamon-raisin french toast. While it&#8217;s certainly decadent, the portion is still manageable and satisfied every brunch craving at once. The setting is just as pleasant: from the cheery red door flanked by fresh tulips to the farm-themed decor throughout the restaurant, I felt right at home.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2734\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2734\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/grangehallburgerbardoortulips.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2734\" alt=\"Grange Hall Burger Bar entrance\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/grangehallburgerbardoortulips.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/grangehallburgerbardoortulips.jpg 554w, http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/grangehallburgerbardoortulips-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.hillaryproctor.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/grangehallburgerbardoortulips-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A weathered red door and fresh tulips at the entrance set off the farm d\u00e9cor<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The details:<\/strong> <em><a title=\"Grange Hall Burger Bar\" href=\"http:\/\/www.grangehallburgerbar.com\/\">Grange Hall Burger Bar<\/a>, 844 W.
