The Burger at the Antique Cafe

Posted by Adam Kuban, September 11, 2008 at 10:30 AM

Serious Eats intern-turned-obsessive-Chinatown-documentarian Gordon Mark reminds us that sometimes what we're looking for might be right before our eyes. His buddy Herman tipped him to the burger at the Antique Cafe, a coffee shop just a couple doors down from the AHT-Serious Eats office. "Best burger I've ever eaten," Herman said.

Then Gordon grabbed one and concurred, even starting his own food blog and documenting it on what he's calling Gordon Eats:

But what did it for me was the burger patty. It was quite a substantial chunk of meat. Also the cheese didn’t overpower the burger. Nice. I would get it more often if it wasn’t so expensive. It comes with salad and fries and costs almost $10 (9 dollars and 60 something cents).

This will be my lunch today. Look for another post on this place later today.

The burger may not be cheap, but it's worth it. So filling, so good, and always satisfying. Huge plate of fries come with it too. The whole thing tastes gourmet but is sized for a construction worker.

The coffee is really good here, too. It's worth going out of your way for. Tables are small but they deliver pretty fast.
