Review Of Burger Jones

Happy Friday!

Last night I went to the hip new eatery, Burger Jones. Burger Jones has been getting a lot of “buzz” in this city and as you know, if something cool is happening in the TC, I am there within 2 to 3 months of it becoming popular. What can I say? I am awesome. Anyhoo, here’s the review.

Drink: I had the water. It was fantastic. Obviously filtered and playfully chilled with chunks of frozen water. Throughout the evening, I kept kept back to this delightful treat.

Burger: I opted for the Turkey burger. I agree, I was at a restaurant known for burgers and should have opted for the classic beef option, but let’s face facts.  I need to eat better and the turkey burger seemed to be the slightly healthier choice.

The turkey burger was pretty fantastic. Most turkey burgers I’ve had were clearly pre formed patties, meaning the chef didn’t have much to do with it. This one was clearly made from scratch. Topped with avocado slices and a orgasmicly good spicy mayo, this burger had it all.  The bun was fine. In truth, I thought it would be better. Oh well.

Fries: First strike against the fries? They didn’t come with the burger. Fuck that. I am cheap. Fries come with the burger. Fuck you for making me pay more, Burger Jones.  Having to buy the fries separately makes me feel like I’m buying a lamp at IKEA. All the parts are sold separately. Also, the waffle fries, while well seasoned and tasty, didn’t exactly deserve to be sold on their own. Shame on Burger Jones! Shame!

Ice Cream Sandwich: THe vanilla ice cream was ball knockingly tasty, but the “bread” of the ice cream sandwich was crispy as opposed to soft and chewy. Why fuck with the ice cream sandwich? Why? Shame!

Overall, it was a fine meal.  Go there if you want. I DON’T CARE!!!!

    You are hilarious!

    But thanks for the heads up that the meal will be more expensive due to NO FRIES – crazy people.

    Fries should come with burgers. Wifi should be free in hotels. Free unlimited texting should be included in all wireless phone plans. These are fundamental truths that some businesses don’t yet understand.

    Tia-Thanks! I really appreciate that.

    Bree-Everything you’ve said is absolutely correct.

    The last line of this post made me laugh out loud. Good job.

    How did I go from not knowing what Burger Jones was to being angry about their policies? Through the power of Fotis.

    Ben-Glad to be there for you. Also, I am excited for your Fringe Show.

    Hannah-Your angry because you spend your money wisely!
