Talk about oddball,
this is one of The Survey's top entries. Tucked away behind a curtain
in the lobby of Le
Parker Meridien Hotel, The Burger Joint is purposely styled like
a trashy, 70's grease pit. The small space is bizarrely out of place
in this ultra-modern, fancy-pants hotel, and is obviously meant to
be ironic in the way those stupidly trendy foam trucker hats are supposed
to be. The thing is, instead of looking like a retard in a mesh cap,
you get to sit and enjoy delicious burgers and fries in wood-paneled
glory. Watch as the short-order chefs cook up your patty and serve
it up old-school style in a paper wrapper with some crispy fries.
While not large by any stretch of the imagination, these burgers are
flavorful and deceptively filling. If you're able to find it (look
for the curtain and the neon burger in the lobby), we can't recommend
it any higher, but because of the tiny space, cheap prices and quality
food, we hear it can get quite crowded on weekdays at lunchtime. You
really have to see this place to believe it. [MF] |
