Zen Burger Takes the Madness to a Whole New Level
Just when you thought the burger-mania couldn’t get any crazier in Midtown… the Five Guys on 55th btw. 5+6th is opening on Friday , the Goodburger on 45th btw. 5+6th is opening in mid-November, and Pop Burger is on the way. Now, the good people at Zen Palate have decided to get in on the action, and why not- vegetarians probably feel left out of the NYC lunch’ing fad that just keeps on giving.
Above is the plywood for the first “Zen Burger”- opening soon on Lexington between 45+46th. They plan on serving a whole menu of “healthy” fast food, all of it meat free. This will include meatless chicken and fish sandwiches, patty melts, hot dogs, chicken tenders, shrimp, and 10 (that’s right- 10) different kinds of burgers- all of which promise to “look, feel and taste of meat without the detrimental effects that meat causes to one’s health and the environment”.
The interviewing finished up yesterday, interviewing is happening next week, so it should be opening soon… thanks to tipster Rafi for the info- and as always if you have any news, info or recommendations, email them to zach@midtownlunch.com

Walked by today and they looked almost finished with the counter. Nice orange colored walls.

I CANNOT WAIT for this place to open!

I just came out of Zen Burger and it was a mad house. I saw the brightly colored store from 2 blocks away. The line to order seemed almost out the door. I was a little skeptical about this place but I placed my order. As I waited I took a sip of the special brewed, lightly sweeted teas. I must admit the Zen teas and the ZenHarvest Burger were pretty good. It wasn’t too hard or too soft. It was just right =) I would give this place 3.5 stars only because of the long line and the crowded atmosphere. Well what else can I expect at lunch time on Lexington Ave.

Zen garbage–Why don’t these guys stay with what they know–Zen Palate. This is one of the worst fast food joints I have ever eaten in! The kitchen help can’t keep up with the orders and the food is bad news–Who would ever want to spend their hard earned dollares for inedible cold food?
I just spoke to one of the people at Zen Burger. They now expect to open January 3, 2008.
