It was our second Burgerversary and the Burger Club August outing was the Foodparc in the Flatiron District of Manhattan. This is a flashy, new, exciting, glorified food court - essentially. Around an upscale open seating area are a few different fast-food restaurants, including our destination counter: 3Bs (for Bacon, Burgers & Beer). The flashiest part of this whole experience might have been the shiny, white floors or it might have been the touch screens with credit card readers attached so that we could order our burgers remotely if it hadn't been for the flashy ring of the most newly engaged member of the Burger Club community.
That's right, the mixed reviews of 3Bs Burgers (and their bacon, for that matter)were no match for thumbs up to our lady and her husband-to-be...but back to the burgers.
Ranked in order from least to greatest amount of flavor would be the burger, the bun, and the toppings. Despite the excellent reputation preceding our outing, I failed to find any richness of flavor in the meat on my plate. The bun was a bun. The toppings, however, were fresh and flavorful. Tomato, lettuce, barbecue sauce - it's a simple combination and luckily difficult to do wrong.
I wouldn't give up on FoodParc just yet - in fact, I hear they show movies on the jumbotron in their beer garden on Tuesdays and Saturdays during the summer. Probably less hectic than Bryant park and less far than Brooklyn Bridge Park, and you can drink beer out of a real glass, instead of the sketchy park way, out of a water bottle.
