Just had the Beacon burger. The bread changed – it’s now on brioche! yummy. Now I’m off to the gym.

Yo dawg! We heard you like bread with your burgers so we put bread under yo burger so you can have bread while you have your burger bread!

The burger is not that great. Grilled bread is dry. They cut it in half before serving so all the juices drip out. They use house-made ketchup which tastes gross. There are better burgers nearby.

Jesus would not eat a burger plated atop an oversized communion wafer, I assure you.

is that an extra slice of bread holding up that burger?

I totally disagree. I work on 56th & 5th and sometimes have to go to Beacon for work related occassions and I’ve never had a good meal there. The food tends to be bland and expensive. Same with the burger. I was not impressed. Just go around corner to Five Guys or Burger Joint.

Good to see that NY Rag’s editor is still keeping up her end of the bargain, picking the place whose publicist gave her the best “oral gratification”

Just in time for Lent. I wonder if Jesus would have loved cheeseburgers…
