| - Admittedly, I was neither super excited nor super hungry when this suggestion was brought up by a friend. Sometimes I feel that people go to a place just for the name. As a result, a 'name' can make a place somewhat mediocre while still drawing in the people. The first sign of its popularity was the 90 minute wait.
Luckily for us, we had made arrangements limiting our wait to five minutes. Although I wasn't hungry, I couldn't bring myself to order a salad at a burger joint, especially one that demands such a long wait. Not knowing if or when I might come back, I just went for a burger and figured I'd just eat as much as I could.
I went with the Hell's Kitchen Burger, as I don't mind some heat but it also seemed like their unofficial signature burger. I mean, I could just get an American burger anywhere. One of the ways I judge a burger is whether they can nail the way it's prepared. So many places can't get medium rare to save their lives. Of course, quality of meat and seasoning are the other factors.
This place nailed it all and what happened next was me devouring the entire burger. It was really good, perhaps worth the wait, and probably worth the name. Ramsey got this one right and people know it! I'm a believer.
