No Love for Midtown Lunch on Burger Wall
Last week, my boss made the trip over to 45th btw. 5+6th to try the newest Goodburger location, and when he returned asked me a pretty good question.
“Why arent you on Goodburger’s wall of quotes?”.
Good question wise and all knowing boss. Why isn’t Midtown Lunch up on that wall?
So I went back and read my original post on Goodburger from a year and a half ago, and realized the problem. Quotes like “it’s just another fast food place in Midtown- that happens to use quality ingredients” and “once you resign yourself to paying the money it’s a good Midtown Lunch”, aren’t going to get me up on no wall. I hear you talkin’ Goodburger. You want something with zazz!
So, in an effort to get up on Goodburger’s quote wall, I realized I needed to come up with something awesome. A perfect quote, ready made for them to use, and posted on the site. And after I do that, how could they deny Midtown Lunch burger wall immortality? How’s this…
“Goodburger is the best burger and fries combo meal in the city (if only it was $2 cheaper).”
They can leave out that last part if they want…

Goodburger sucks. There’s too many better burger places, and better values to ever want to go there again. They can continue to make their tiny, overcooked $10 burger, but I doubt I’ll be back. BTW, what good is being on the quote wall when they think a clever slogan is “Home of the good burger.”

How can Goodburger be the *best*? By definition, isn’t “Better Burger” better than Goodburger?
I’m so confused….

Maybe the don’t have the “cult” cache, but their burger is consistently well prepared.

Actually, the best burger on 45th between 5th and 6th is right across the street at Ambrosia’s. Bigger burger, half the price.

I asked for a Cheeseburger at Good Burger. The only problem was there wasn’t any cheese on it and I had to go back to get another one. Other than that, the burger was mediocre and nothing to write about.

You guys must seriously be used to having carrot sticks for lunch if you call a good burger combo a meal. I had the combo, and then left disgusted at how pathetically small everything was at the price I paid. I had to go get streetmeat for lunch after my snack at goodburger.
