Grandma's Kitchen
Place: Grandma's Kitchen. Jianwai SOHO, Beijing.
Burger: Regular cheeseburger, ordered medium.
Architecture: bun, cheese, patty, bun. Lettuce, tomatoes, onions on the side.
I had high expectations for this burger, because various folks have
recommended it. To put it mildly, I was disappointed: the griddled
meat was stale, and tasted like it just hurried from the freezer to
the griddle (with perhaps a quick trip to the M-wave in between?). It
lacked any serious taste and was cooked way beyond my medium order.
The sesame bun was slightly better, though it was buttered just a
little too much but not toasted long enough to caramelize the butter's
sugars and crisp up the bread surface. The fries were soggy and had
zero character, and had to be saved with multiple squeezes of that red
bottle.
