| - This is going to sound like a farce, but I daydream about my meal at Holsteins on a nearly daily basis - the burgers were THAT good. I was a little, um, rough from 2 consecutive nights of partying, and the burgers here dazzled my taste buds and satiated my poor stomach.
We started with Radicchio Salad which was large enough for two to share as a starter and was perfectly tossed and loaded with fresh parmesan. We split a Korean Bullgogi Burger and a Gold Standard Burger, and trying to pick the better of the two would be like trying to pick the more obnoxious twin between Mary-Kate and Ashley. The Gold Standard was a glorious pastiche of meat and cheese, vegetable and fruit, starch and sauce. And then the Bullgogi, with the glaze, the egg, the trite kim-chi whatever-it's-going-to-be to make the dish "Korean" (in this case, kim-chi slaw) worked equally well together to create a fabulous burger. I would urge anyone to order either of these but all of the burgers looked appetizing on the menu.
My only regret (due to an impending drive back to LA) was not being able to try one of the alcoholic shakes.
Oh! And since they mistakenly brought out the salad with the burgers (I asked for it before the burgers, naturally), they offered us a complimentary whimsical dessert sampler (I think it's "The Candy Store" on the menu) that was great; save the mini-drumstick cones for last!
