I don't know if they're
necessarily "better." Unique, maybe. Compact, certainly.
I mean they're better than a smack in the nuts or a poke from a big,
sharp stick, but so are a lot of things. When you're going to use
a superlative, you really should just go for it and knock it up a
notch and become Best Burger? I sense a little bit of an inferiority
complex here. It could be their tiny patties. Those things are just
not big. I've only gotten delivery from these guys, but the first
time I ordered one of their turkey burgers, I could have sworn the
thing shrunk in the sweltering humidity of the messenger's bag. But,
as I soon found out, what they lack in size is somehow made up for
by density (or some kind of bizarro filler). I thought I was going
to be starving after wolfing one of these shrimpy morsels, but was
extremely surprised when my gut screamed ''no mas''--or at least ''soy
bien, gracias.'' My tasty nugget of a turkey burger was accompanied
by a small-ish container of baked fries, which, if warm, might have
been pretty good for not having been soaked and resoaked in a vat
of animal fat for like hours. I've never had a cow burger at this
joint, but maybe I'll have to walk my ass over to the actual restaurant
and get a fresh one right from the grill. There's something oddly
addictive about their stuff. Maybe it's the weed these damn tree huggers,
with their baked fries (an oxymoron, I know) and their whole wheat
buns, put in every batch of ground meat. Or maybe they truly do make
a better burger. [MF] Other Locations: Better Burger (Midtown West) |
