I was really excited to head down to the financial district and join fellow burger enthusiast Abby for lunch at Burger Burger to try their Barack O'Burger (a burger dusted with cocoa powder). Unfortunately they didn't have any cocoa powder so I had to settle for their Bill Burger. It was definitely a solid burger, cooked correctly and messy, but it could have been better overall. The horseradish flavor didn't stand out at at all and the American cheese and onions were just a little two sweet.

Perhaps the flavor of the burger was merely overpowered by the spicy awesomeness that was their Cajun fries. They have a lot of fry types to try here, and you can mix and match, but I'd definitely recommend the Cajun fries. They are just so delicious, I wanted a double order. Their only downside is how ridiculously expensive they are. Seriously $4.95 for fries? It doesn't really matter how good they are. That's kind of a deal breaker. I don't know if I'd get the fries again for round two.

Burger Burger is tiny. Four stools inside, and a few chairs outside. All the stools were taken, so we had to eat outside, and there's nothing like a burger to warm you up in 25 degree weather. It may be better to do a pickup order or their free delivery service if you live or work in that area, especially in the winter. The service was fast and friendly. It's also two doors away from a place called Pizza Pizza. Next somebody will open a place called Sandwich Sandwich.
