Was this the crappy steakhouse burger competition? I was excited to see Benjamin Steakhouse appear on seamless web a few months ago. And then I made the mistake of ordering their dry, boring, tasteless version of a cheeseburger.

Seriously, the Burger Heaven burger beats Benjamin’s. Say it ain’t so Benny.

Del Frisco’s burger is by far the best. It’s $15.95, but worth the splurge 2 or 3 times a year!

Wined and Dined – get your second review up…I was one of the commenters suggesting the MJ’s burger. Glad to know my taste buds still function properly. I’ve had both MJ’s and Benjamins, but on separate days (actually, more like months). I give my nod to MJ’s. I know its outside of midtown lunch price range, but I rationalize it by getting cheap Zaiya lunches or beef udon from Yagura and using the leftover dinero at Michael Jordans… or I just expense it to my company.

Same goes for Del Frisco’s. Ask for the awesome mashed potatoes that come with the filet tips instead of the chips.

If you’re gonna pay 15.95, Keen’s has a better burger than Benjamin’s.

Offer lunch for under $10? But, that would let all the riffraff in! Next thing you know everyone will be asking them to supersize the meal!

i did push for a ML version of the Benjamin burger in my review. my idea: instead of 1/2lb burger + fries for $15.95, make it a 1/4 or 1/3lb burger + fries for $9.95. we’ll see if the Benjamin bites on this — it would be the best ML burger deal by far in my opinion. i didn’t comment on the fries since it was a burger challenge, but their those ‘real potato’ fries which i love.

also, i did a follow-up challenge b/t benjamin and michael jordan’s (i paid for the burgers and they had no idea they were preparing them for any burger competition). was so close that it took 4 bites of each before I could determine the winner.
