Poughkeepsie Mayor Rob Rolison stopped by recently to create his own burger using the new interactive kiosk that allows diners to choose from a number of ingredients to create a burger to their liking.

The new system moves the restaurant into the upscale burger category by offering such choices as ciabatta and brioche buns, different meats (plus a vegetarian choice), a host of cheeses and such toppings as beetroot, tortilla, grilled pineapple, caramelized onions, chili jams and lime aiolli.

The kiosks are touch screen and even allow diners to pay with a credit card or Apple Pay. Once diners complete their orders, they are asked where they will be sitting so the burger can be delivered, yes delivered, to their table.
