| - Kobe (beef) is the new black, it seems. Whether it's kobe 'sushi' at sushi samba, kobe filets at craftsteak that cost you more than an ipod, or a kobe burger at some of your more stylin' places, you seem to find it everywhere, done every which way.
This place falls into this final example - a stylin' burger joint with kobe, turkey, lamb, veggie, beef and salmon burgers flooding their menu. At about a 15 buck average, these burgers are big, tasty, but lonely - a fiver more gets you a small side of fries or rings - and a decent tap selection, highlighted by a restaurant-named pils from hawai'I, gives good options to wash down the meal for a few bills more. Shakes seemed big but too desserty (I like mine to be an alternate for the 'wash down' option, not be spoonable, topped with whipped)
Decor is cool, service efficient. Overall a great meal.
Did the Kobe burger ruin my palate for the next regular beef patty in my near future though?
Not this one, no. Damn tasty, and worthy of joining some angus on a top 10 list - but not requiring its own superior list. I might even say Burger Bar at Mandalay gets an edge with its bison, but that requires a revisit, which I promise myself will happen next trip.
