Operating in the space formerly occupied by Costa Azul, it's easy to get distracted at the Henry, but concentrate on one thing: the Sam Fox. It’s a burger. Half pounder, with the usual fixings, except no bacon, no guac, no chili beans. But you don’t care, because you’re going for one thing. Keyword: wagyu. And no, we’re not talking the Japanese comedy duo, Wag You. Wagyu beef. As in super buttery, marbled, tender as scrambled eggs, from calves fed on milk. And yes, super tasty. Sam Fox is the owner of this swanky new establishment and brings his Arizona-style burgers to town. Meaning, mostly basic, but a lot to them. Hint: get this in happy hour. ’Cause it ain’t cheap even then.
