Hearth & Vine Cafe’s Black Bean Burger

Tastemaker

Did someone say “beer and a burger?” Hearth & Vine Café will do you one better. Transformed from a farm market in 2010, this seasonal bistro at Black Star Farms in Suttons Bay offers casual farmstead fare, all crafted to complement a glass (or two) of wine. As for those seasonal burger cravings, their answer arrives in black bean form—and it’s about to blow your mind. Featuring a house-made patty studded with peppers, yellow lentils, and spices, Hearth & Vine’s decadent Black Bean Burger towers with tomato and fresh bibb lettuce all stacked atop a locally-sourced brioche bun. The burger is finished with a duo of scratch-made sauces—chipotle aioli and jalapeno-onion jam—and accompanied by Great Lakes Potato Chips. Staff recommends pairing this hearty handheld with a pour of Hard Apple-Cherry Cider (straight from the tasting room, no less). Get your hands one for $15 at Hearth & Vine Café. Open Tuesday-Saturday from 12pm to 7pm. 10844 E. Revold Rd., Suttons Bay. (231) 944-1297. blackstarfarms.com
