BURGERS food truck
AT JEFFREYS GRILL ARE THE MAIN ATTRACTION Greg Cox for Triangle Today Get Jackson Jeffreys talking about his burgers — it isn’t hard, given his gregarious personality — and you can’t help but pick up on his enthusiasm. He’ll proudly tell you that burgers are his food truck’s signature item, for starters, and that he sampled ground beef from nearly a dozen local farms before settling on Lane Angus Beef, an eighth generation family-owned farm in northeastern North Carolina. He’ll go on to explain that the beef is grass-fed and grain-finished, and that he gets it “straight from the farm, never frozen.” After tracking down the Jeffreys Grill truck recently at Jordan Lake Brewing Co. in Cary and devouring one of those burgers (with American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle and mayo), I can confirm that Jeffreys’ pride is justified. These are old-school burgers, quarter-pound patties (order a half-pounder and you get two patties) seared on a flattop grill. Served on a sesame seed bun with your choice of toppings (all the usual suspects, plus bacon and/or egg for a $1 upcharge), they come wrapped in foil to keep the burger warm and the bun soft.
JEFFREYS GRILL Prices: sandwiches $3 (hot dog) to $10 (1/2 pound burger), chili cheese fries $3 Social media: facebook.com/jeffreysgrill919 or @jeffreys_grill
