Better
Burger (Murray Hill) R website 565 3rd Ave. [multiple locations], 212/949-7528 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.
