| - Like many others the day I went, I was at Burgr to see if a Gordon Ramsay backed establishment was truly up to snuff. Based on Chef's abrasive ways, anything less than awesome was going to be a let down, but I was hoping that the food here would back up his tough talk. While it wasn't bad, what I had represented a mixed bag...
I ordered the $13 American Burger...It was an above average burger, featuring high quality beef, ripe tomato, butter lettuce and nice cheese on a fresh bun. Solid flavor, and a good bread/veggie/meat ratio...no real flaws, but not an elite burger -- I'll give it an A-minus...
The fries, however were a bust. They were salty, dry, mealy, steak cut fries accompanied by ambitious house-made seasoned ketchup that didn't play well with the potatoes. Good old Heinz ketchup (not available) might have saved the day.
Service was good -- we had a seat at the bar, but my dining companion's truffle-oil fries were cold (maybe they sat while my burger was on the way?) and she wasn't fan of them, especially the accompanying ketchup.
Note to Gordon -- if you are going to aggressively spare your diners the indignity of Heinz ketchup, then your house made stuff had better be a home run. It wasn't even close and one of the choices offered tasted like slightly less-processed McNugget dipping sauce...
