SALVATION BURGER – MIDTOWN EAST – LUNCH

March 7, 2016 5:54 am

Salvation Burger makes me think I could actually enjoy fancy, gourmet burgers.

Until I dined at NYC restaurant maven April Bloomfield’s new midtown burger joint, I had always preferred fast food style burgers to the over-the-top, $30 mile high monstrocities that abound in this city.

If I have to grab a knife and fork, it should be to cut a steak. Not a burger.

Often times, the burger is under seasoned, the cheese is minimal and sauces are often not part of the equation. Just because a restaurant is giving you the finest, free-range cow carcass around, doesn’t mean they don’t have to add a little pizazz to the burger patty! Seriously, I’m not that much of a carnivore.

Salvation makes a high end, pricey burger with plenty of flavor but minimal ingredients. Cheese, sauce and pickles (on the classic only). That’s all you need on a good burger. If you’re adding a ton of shit and trying to make a burger into a work of art, you’re doing it wrong. Put that kind of effort into making a damn salad.

Sure, I ate both of these burgers with a knife and fork. They’re messy! But they’re so tasty, I didn’t care!

I won’t go on and on, you can just look at the pictures and decide for yourself (if you’ve even read this far, you short attention spanned millennials!).
