5 Napkin Burger (burgers on Ninth Avenue)

[WK2]

Hope this hasn't been posted on before, but I did a search and couldn't find anything (I saw a mention in the Nice Matin topic)

I stopped by here for lunch today. Delicious, deeply flavorful burger, cooked exactly at the medium rare I requested, topped with caramelized onions, rosemary mayonnaise and comte cheese. A good burger bun as well - light and airy, well matched to the meat.

The fries, on the other hand, were a different story. Had I known, I would have brought my own from Mcdonald's. Broken nibbles of crunch. Of course, I ate them anyway, since I can't control myself around fries, but I didn't enjoy them. It's possible I got a bad batch.

Apart from the burgers (which also include tuna, lamb, and vegetable offerings), the menu includes, oddly, sushi rolls. At lunch, the servers were pushing them aggresively, but the last thing I want with my burger is sushi. Sushi, to me, is clean flavor. Burger isn't. The combination is a bit dissonant.

Pricing, at 13.95, is predictably high. On the other hand, I *did* bring half a burger home.

Sushi being pushed aggressively is, imo, a must to avoid...my guess is sushi will disappear from their menu altogether.
