Burger: bistro burger
Architecture: bun, bacon, cheese, patty, bun. Lettuce and tomatoes on the side.

The beef was some of the juiciest I have tasted in a burger -- bovine
juices would gush out like lava out of a volcano. Nearly an inch
thick, this enormous beef concoction was charbroiled in a gas broiler
(see pictured), flipped once, to medium. The charredness provides a
sensational texture and robust flavors. The bun was horrible -- it
felt like a mediocre grocery store variety that offered very little in
taste, and couldn't legitimately hold onto the cow. Atmosphere was
non-existent -- this was where the smell of cheap cigarettes
(imaginary) met the smell of overused kitchen fryer oil (real), and
additional points were deducted for showing the Copa del Rey match
without audio commentary...
