I’m not sure where I read about this one, but it completely
took my attention and I immediately knew I was going to have it, a burger place
build in an old toilet, yes an old TOILET! I couldn’t believe it, somebody thought
one day, hey you know what would be really cool, convert the abandon public
toilet of the corner into a burger shack. Shame on you Minneta Tavern selling
high priced Black Label burgers in NYC, same to you Goodman or Hawksmoor
offering O’Shea’s cuts in your London fancy places, and Bar Boulud I would not even talk about you, I’m German and I will build
it in a toilet! Just like the movie Fields of Dreams “build it and they will
come”.
Men why not Frauen?
A burger joint bellow train tracks, I would become familiar with this kind of locations
The Place
Inside the Toilet sorry the Kitchen
Green is the colour
Well I actually did, I got to the place Burgermeister,
realised it was actually a public toilet, they weren’t kidding around, stand
there bellow the U1 train tracks, in the middle of the traffic, I ordered a
chilli cheeseburger with fries, and a beer while waiting. The burger was good, quite good to be honest, nothing fancy, straight forward cheeseburger with jalapenos, the fries were
quite good as well. To give you an idea if you want to compare it with London fast food standards
Lucky Chip or Meatwagon are a little bit better, but they don’t have a fancy location
like these Germans, just think it for a second, you will be able to say I got
my last burger from a toilet and it tasted good, what a great pub story.
The offer
Not bad for something that came from a toilet
Toilet reminds me the Seinfeld episode “The Postponement”.
Jerry: Hey!
George: I want your honest opinion about something.
Jerry: Have I ever been less than forthright?
George: No, you haven't. Well, maybe you have. What do I
know.
Jerry: Yeah, I probably have. Yeah, of course I have. What
am I talking about?
George: All right. Okay, tell me what you think about this
idea, extend the doors on the toilet stalls at Yankee Stadium all the way to
the floor.
Jerry: Extend the doors on the toilet stalls at Yankee
Stadium to the floor, door comes down, hides your feet. Yes. I like it. I like
it a lot.
George: It's good, right?
Jerry: I think it's fantastic. I think it's a fantastic
idea.
George: You do?
Jerry: Yes, I do.
George: Well, I told it to Susan: before, and she didn't
like it.
Jerry: Hmm.
George: Yeah. Not only that, this is what she said to me, Can
we change the subject?
Jerry: See, now that I don't care for.
George: Right. I mean, we're on a subject. Why does it have
to be changed?
Jerry: It should resolve of its own volition.
George: That's exactly what I said, except I used the word momentum.
Jerry: Momentum, same thing.
Jerry: Momentum, same thing.
