59th & Lex Cafe -- Century City, CA

In the exhaustive quest to power through ALL of the cheeseburgers in our vicinity, TheBurgerBusters went to the restaurant inside Bloomingdales at the Century City Mall.  One would expect a very poor burger considering that it's from a restaurant inside of a department store and that it's a restaurant, which caters to women.  In this case one would be wrong.

What you can't see in this picture is a legendary seared crust on this 1/2 pound of perfect Med Rareness.  The bun was toasted on both sides, which, in this case, made for a satisfying crispness to complement the seared crust and the raw beef. If only they had seasoned it.  It was good--it was competently prepared--the beef was of a high quality (aside from the bone fragments that I found)--but they didn't season the frigging thing. SALT AND PEPPER--it makes all of the difference in the world.



Still, this was the second best burger in Century City--The Stand is the best. Keep in mind that this is a ranking without any distinction.  It's like being the most moral whore in Delaware or the most virtuous Boy Scout.
