Nestled into the outdoor plaza on the side of the Alto Palermo shopping center, this place has been, apparently, serving up hot dogs and burgers for going on 13 years. During the day, it's a place where shoppers and casual strollers drop in and grab a bite to eat. Apparently at night, along with the opening of several bars and clubs on the plaza, it's a place for "drunken kids" to gather sustenance in the midst of their revelries, staying open until either 2 or 4 a.m., depending on the night of the week. I ordered up the "Deluxe", though asked them to hold the "sweet Jack BBQ" - I've never been a big fan of sweet barbecue sauce on burgers, and of their six burger selections, four of them have it - and especially because the burger also comes with aioli.
The rundown on the burger? First, the bun is huge in comparison - the patty is kind of lost - but that seems to be because three of those six burgers are "double beef" and rather than use two patties, they make a double sized patty that does fill the bun. The toppings, lettuce, tomato, red onion were nice and fresh. The egg yolk was still a little gooey in the center, not hard cooked. The bacon was missing in action completely, which I didn't notice until about halfway through. Lots of cheese - both mozzarella and cheddar. And, a lot of mayo - if that was aioli, they forgot the garlic in it - plus ketchup, which wasn't on the list of things on the burger, but I suppose they put it there to make up for the no bbq sauce request. The burger itself - decent quality meat, but basically unseasoned, and fairly dense - ground too fine and not enough fat. Overall, it's an okay burger, but not one I'd make an effort to return for. read more
