Editorial Review

Making a good burger is simple: grill a freshly ground, hand-formed beef patty to desired doneness. This tiny east-side joint follows the formula successfully. A juicy patty, ordered medium rare, arrives seared outside and somewhat pink inside, topped with horseradish and caramelized onions. Crispy hand-cut fries are sold separately. Beets, carrots, almonds, millet and barley—plus an overpowering dose of oregano—are the major ingredients in a house veggie patty that’s more veg than burger. Unlicensed.
