BTW, I might just have to study that how-to-cook-a-real-burger site. Us euromen have to make our own, no burger spots over here that have it like that.
I guess that depends where you live. Quite a few of my boys have been raving about this, which is rapidly acquiring mythical status amongst meat-eaters south of the river. One of my boys said to me, "It's an interesting approach they have. There's no attempt to be "gourmet": they don't use mega expensive cuts of meat, posh cheese (in fact they use Kraft slices!), Hestonesque cooking processes or anything - the fanciest thing about it is the sourdough buns - but they've studied the cooking process of the best down-home burger joints across America and honed their seasoning and cooking to make an absolutely classic burger."
He added, "It was concealed behind a container truck on an industrial estate. Eventually we had to call the number on the website to be told "you need to look harder - it's more worthwhile if you have to look". It was like tracking down a MEAT RAVE."
Damn, Thats annoying. I'd heard good things about this place, but not enough to venture to Peckham. Turns out from that link it was down my way yesterday, at a pub I often drink out.
I had one of these a few weeks ago and you can really tell the difference w/ the Kobe beef:
"The Winslow Burger! 8oz. Kobe beef burger topped with creamy gorgonzola dolce
and crispy prosciutto on a brioche bun with crispy herb fries
12.5 "
I could sort of feel a heart attack brewing for a while afterwords, but damn, it was good. The crispy prosciutto was baconesque. Considering the size and the quality, 12.5 was a bargain.

Kobe beef burger for $12.5? riggggggght
Kobe burgers are commonly $14 or $15 here in wine country. I could see $12.50 in a less touristy spot.

Only one will channel the force of thunder-gods through your burger.

*Kobe is Wagyu from Kobe, Japan
** Wagyu is the breed of cow (when not actually bred in Kobe, does NOT= Kobe)
real heads know the deal
you couldn't even buy a Kobe beef burger anywhere close to that price even in Japan
