More Burgers
Goodburger, the first Philly outpost of the New York City chain, opened its doors on Chestnut Street, just two blocks from Five Guys, on Saturday. And in this city, where many of the town’s favorite burgers are on the pricey side (I’m talking to you, Rouge), there’s probably business enough to support two burger joints using good ingredients to make burgers at reasonable prices.
The New York outposts of Goodburger consistently deliver on their promise. Those burgers are, well, good. I especially like that the company wisely grinds its own meat — it’s safer than buying it pre-ground, like many fast food chains. In this era of beef recalls, that lends a certain level of confidence to their product. But as much I as appreciate a good burger, I’m most looking forward to trying Goodburger’s other goodies, like old- fashioned milk shakes and beer-battered onion rings.
