kudos Danny Meyer, kudos

Dear Mr. Meyer,
I would like to personally thank you for one of my top 5 burger experiences. I am a self proclaimed burger aficionado, but in reality I just really love burgers. Generally I am not that picky, if it's juicy with a decent bun and appropriate condiments then I am in heaven. Burger heaven, that is. I live in Washington, DC and I think you can imagine my fervor upon hearing the news that your establishment would be opening in Dupont Circle. Your reputation precedes you and thankfully the rumor was truth. DC generally needs a bit of help in the burger department. There are a few exceptions, and among those exceptions I will add Shake Shack to the list. I would even go so far as to compare the delicious goodness of your burger to my all time favorite Fred burger at Parkway bowling alley luncheonette in Lincoln, Nebraska. The bun was ideal, the condiments readily available for me to choose and apply and the taste impeccable. Please tell me how you do it! I applaud you sir and your modern day "roadside" burger stand.
In much burger love.
Yours truly,
Jill

the grass-fed difference

Why grass fed? brgr thinks for starters that it tastes better. The jury is still out, at least for me. I ain't gonna lie, this was a tasty burger. However, brgr made the same mistake that many burger joints have made and attempted to fancify the burger. Their menu is too complex and down right unnecessary. For example, one of the menu choices is a rainforest burger, which will cost you $9 and comes with Gruyere, Avocado, Herb Mayo, Lettuce and Tomato. Individually, I love all these items, but definitely not on my supposedly healthier grass fed burger. Keep it real brgr, stick to the basics.

I wouldn't be opposed to eating another burger at brgr, but only if I am especially hungry and happen to walk by. I must admit, it was a memorable experience shared with my dear friend Flory on a trip to NYC to attend another dear friend's wedding.
