High Class

After a very classy (remember the bone marrow) visit to Elsewhere last month. Burger Club decided to, well, slum it this month. Burger Creations, down in the Union Square area, advertises its brand as using "the very best ingredients" and providing a "premium culinary experience. Enjoy!" - but at seven bucks a pop and no table service, you've got some sense of the type of burger you're in for.

Tasty, sure. High class? Maybe not. Let's start with the bun. While you can order whole wheat (flax free!) or a wrap, the default bun of this establishment is the grilled brioche. A bread-technique that Burger Club has seen a time or two by now and let's just say: we approve! Rule number 1 in burger quality evaluation is that the bun must hold the burger and in this area, Burger Creations more than satisfies.

Now for the meat. Each burger option is creative and distinctive. Burger Club members dined on varieties such as The Santa Fe Burger, The Parisian Burger, and The Southern Burger (other compelling options include the Hawaiian, Philly, and Sake burgers). While the toppings intrigued, the meat itself failed to stun, leaving me with that unsure feeling - am I full? or am I still hungry?

You know what I'm talking about.

The sides were arguably the best part of the meal - regular and sweet potato fries crispy on the outside and steamy on the inside and milkshakes too sweet and rich to ever drown out the flavor. The bottom line? A good time and a good meal, but I'm not scheduling my next visit...just yet, anyway.
