The meat was fine, but it was packed way too tight and pressed like those questionable "meat" patties you eat at lunch growing up going to the public schools of NYC. @ Josh: I agree that City Burger has a problem with execution … which is why I was so shocked when you gave the Black Label burger props as it tasted like a hockey puck.
