Talk about a good looking burger at Blue Ribbon Bakery! That bad boy doesn’t taste too bad either. A fresh toasted sesame bun around medium-rare beef that was slightly over done (not off to a good start there). The flavor was good (not great) as the burger was seasoned well but my tastebuds weren’t jumping for joy or out of my mouth. The cheese was very good and melted well into the burger and complimented the seasoned beef. (Who can’t melt cheese? I am looking for ways to give brownie points here people)
It needed something and I am still searching as to what it is……The overdone meat was the dealbreaker for me. If it has been cooked well i think the flavor from both the beef and the cheese would have married well but was shot due to the chef with the heavy hand. Hey you can’t win ‘em all but this is a burger that is worthy of the old college try but no need to adjust your calendar anytime soon.
PS: The fries were PHENOMENA and the cheese fries were even better. I would honestly hit this joint up for the fries alone. They are THAT good. I know my cheese fries and believe me these ones are worth writing home about.

Oh what up BB. Post ugly sweater xmas party no. 2 – still nogged up so we decided to hit brunch. Thinking the snow would keep people in we ran into an hour long wait we couldnt handle so we trudged on a few blocks and decided a bar would do the trick. A bar – where the beers are to bloodies as the burgers are to bennies. Broome Street Bar. Glanced at the menu and without hesitation rocked the bacon cheeseburger. Figured it would be decent but went into it without high hopes. A burger is pretty standard, but I wasn’t prepared in slightest for what was coming my. Just a casual cheeseburger shawarma with bacon. That’s right a cheeseburger shawarma. The bacon grease permeated the paddy while the dogfish washed it all down.
