I recall eating a takeout
burger from Burger Heaven way back in '95 when I moved to NYC. My
recollection is that it was dry, dense and relatively unappetizing.
What a difference 15 years makes! I've moved on from randomly eating
red meat on weekdays (as my metabolism started to wheez a bit rounding
the corner of 32 or so), but I will eat the heck out of a turkey burger.
And that's just what I did. Not quite heaven, but certainly not the
other place either, I'd say I was riding nicely at about 30,000 feet
on a cloud of pleasantly cooked and prepared fowl. While the restaurant
and menu resemble a decidedly meat-heavy diner, but more expensive,
they do a good job of avoiding the samey tasting hole that most diners
fall into. It seems they actually thought through and tasted their
turkey burger before deciding upon a recipe. Bravo! [MF] |
