Flame Gourmet Burgers in Berkeley, California
Sounds like they stole Barney's menu...
Flame Gourmet Burgers in Berkeley, California
F-Berkeley. The burger doesn't look very good at all. On that note, I am tired of the fancy burger reviews. The rarest thing of all must be the $7+ burger that's actually worth it. I guess they are necessary on some level, but rather than focus on making a sandwich taste good, they usually just throw a bunch of gourmet ingredients together. Give me a simple burger any day over all of this grass fed, organic, free range whooey. And you "know" where you can shove that arugula. Go away Bobby Flay, enough with the chipotle sauce already.
Actually, I'm starting to think it has more to do with having great buns. If you have great buns you're almost there. I love this site.

@HerbyN That is one of the best posts I have ever read on this website.

@kukkurovaca... just what i need, a review of a burger joint from a vegetarian. i love vegetarian restaurants, and frequent them regularly, but when a restaurant's core item is meat-based, i hesitate to take the lecturing of someone that doesn't eat meat very seriously. berkeley or not, there are still plenty of meat eaters in the east bay and i'm sure that a well run restaurant serving mostly carnivores could do just fine. not saying that applies to this particular establishment, but conceptually speaking...

I ate here a couple of weeks after it opened and was, like kukkurovaca, unimpressed. The turkey was similar in texture and taste to turkey meatloaf, and the beef was just ok. The shoestring fries were far from spectacular. I love a good french fry and these weren't worth eating. I would go back if I was in the area and try one of their vegetarian options, but for an excellent Niman Ranch burger and shoestrings, I'd go a few extra blocks into Oakland at Wood Tavern.

Not serving good vegetarian food probably doesn't matter too much if you are a burger joint.

Lordy, lordy my eyes just rolled back in my head. Need to have a burger this weekend. Don't think it will look like that, but it will calm me down.
