Le Burger

In another fabulous article in the New York Time's dining and wine section, the author comments on the rising popularity of hamburgers in Paris. Not fast food burgers, but rather burgers served in restaurants. I myself am a huge fan of le cheeseburger. There's just something about it that tastes incredible. But don't think for a moment that I would take myself to the nearest McDonald's to satisfy my cheeseburger cravings.

I haven't yet found a cheeseburger deserving mention in Boston, but in New York City, my favorite burger was from the Shake Shack in Madison Square Park, which opened in 2004. The Shack is run by Danny Meyer, co-owner of Gramercy Tavern and Union Square Cafe. In fact, the burgers are so good that you may find yourself standing in line for over an hour just to get your hands on that freshly prepared, perfectly cooked, joy in a bun. On their website they even have a webcam where you can check how long the line is before you go! Some people say the burger joint at the Parker Meridian hotel in midtown NYC is good, but it doesn't compare to a Shake Shack burger. Some West Coast people have dared to suggest that the IN-N-OUT Burger is the best, but until I taste it, Shake Shack is my number one burger joint.
