While The Burger Guy will always miss LA, I am really learning to enjoy Arizona! With that said: Why can't I find one aged- beef burger in this godforsaken state!? Sorry, rant over. Seriously though. I have searched high and low and as far as I can tell, there are exactly zero places in the Valley that serve an aged-beef burger. So what does any of this have to do with Zinburger? Because despite not aging their beef, Zinburger is the closest thing I've found to the gourmet burger joints in LA that would serve aged-beef burgers.
The Burger - 8.5 (out of 10)
For my first time, I stuck with the classic Zinburger (I've since tried a couple more). I've often found that the burger places that have a bunch of different types of burgers fail to make any one of them good. Zinburger doesn't have this problem. There's about 10 different types of burgers and you'll find someone that'll rave about each and every one of them. I still want to try the Bruce Lee Burger (it won an award last year). Besides the lack of aged-bee, Zin has all the markings of a classic gourmet burger. Brioche bun, high quality beef, gourmet cheeses... it's all there. The beef has a really nice flavor, in the bun is really nice, although could be a tad bit softer. You can even customize your own masterpiece. Overall a great burger place and The Burger Guy's favorite gourmet burger in the Valley so far.
