F rom 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm , W ednesday to S unday , you will find everything you need to increase cholesterol . W hat’s the secret be- hind its success? Nothing but simple menus; a secret combination of local and American meats in- cluding New York steak, ribeye, brisket, and chuck, fresh lettuce and vegetables from Mercado de Abastos, home-made mayon- naise, and attention to details. Felipe told us: At first we chose the name B-Burger because of Calle B, but then we thought the street has its own beat. That also explains the setting of the place, inspired by the decades from 85 to the 95 when the hip-hop move- ment took place, and the evolu- tion of what today we know as rap started. Here, each burger has a story. To honor those times when B.I.G and Tupac Shakur were in some sort of gang warfare, we have the East Coast, representing the East Side (pepperoni ketch- up, mozzarella cheese, pesto, ba- con, and caramelized plums) and the West Coast, representing the West Side (a lighter burger with whipped cream cheese, wasabi, and avocado, reminders of Cal- ifornia Roll.) Mister Juicy represents the restaurant. It is a juicy burger with pickled red onions, bacon, cheese, and alioli chipotle. The one that took us to semi-finals in The Burger Week was the Big Papa, inspired by Notorious B.I.G. One of the ingredients of this burger is pastrami, that’s unusual, but Jewish culture has notably influenced New York with regard to gastronomy. My favorite is called O.G Orig- inal Gangster, made with tin loaf, lettuce, tomato, and bacon. It is in- spired by my favorite burger –and is not one of mine- in La Inmaculada. When I was a kid I remember eating those burgers and feeling like biting a little piece of happiness. Now, as an adult, parent, with three daugh- ters, I feel the same happiness like a flashback. If want to delight yourself at this moment, Beat Burger is the right place for you. That’s definitely one of the most delicious things you will ever taste without taking your clothes off. 19
