| - Ever since I learned to make Juicy Lucys, I haven't been tempted to try out the high-end burger joints like BRGR or Burgatory. Doesn't paying $13 for a fancy schmancy wagyu burger seem akin to paying $100 for designer jeans? Well, I actually have a couple of Lucky Brand Jeans, so let's get this review going!
I had a great meal! A bucket of truffled gorgonzola fries? Yes, please. "Unbelievable," was uttered.
The Meat Your Maker, a wagyu burger, was as advertised. I was pretty skeptical of the Make Your Own Burger approach. I thought it was a gimmick: No, sir, if I wanted to make my own burger, I would have stayed home! But, there are 5 to 12 options for meat, buns, cheeses, rubs, sauces, and condiments . These are all high-end, gourmet condiments (e.g., Kona Rub, truffled shallot aoli, aged gruyere, avocado wasabi) and you can really create a fantastic burger to your liking.
I shared, reluctantly, the Nutella milkshake. It is enough for two, and it was a great desert. There's nothing like an old-school, new flavor milkshake.
So how many calories are we at now? 5000? No worries, I just took an extra Lipitor and Aspirin when I got home, after I popped the button on my Lucky Brand Jeans.
Burgatory exceeded BRGR in terms of tastiness, ease of parking (at the Waterworks Mall), kid-friendliness, and overall service. If you're deciding where to go, choose Burgatory (Lipitor and Aspirin not included).
