i had been told about the burgers in generator before i met some friends there, so my expectations were high. a good burger and a few beers seemed the perfect preparation for stop making sense in the lighthouse across the square. i ordered a drink and perused the menu while waiting for the others to arrive.
the burger menu is simple. but, don't let that fool you into thinking that it's basic nature represents the culinary experience your taste buds are about to witness. what the menu lacks in complication is more than made up by the focus put into every burger. i was hungry so i went up to wait out the final minutes before my meal was ready. i watched the burgerista craft each patty and bun combo carefully while serving other lucky punters ahead of me. on getting served myself he asks me to tell him what i think when i'm finished.
i took my burger back to my table and began to peel back its shiny fortress. my first bite is heaven, a beautiful ratio of flavours burst over your palate like a waterballoon your on your bosses face. there's a ridiculous amount of pleasure involved, to savour it you start digging into the fries ,delay the inevitable end for just a bit. but the fries are another feat, crispy batons without being too greasy, dipped into the self serve mayonaise/tomato ketchup combo i had procured from the counter upon collection. back to the burger to realise that the buns are as carefully selected as the meat itself, far from the "bundy" variety, these dough duos have flavour and a texture that compliments every bite.
the cuisine may be simple, but the simplest things are the most extraordinary.
