Michaelaway Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Anyone been there yet? Opinion? There is a new burger dive opening down the road near the Continental, it is just a shophouse shell now, JJ Burger, it looks like a Thai operation but if they can actually offer good burgers in that location they wouldn't need to charge so much and could mint money. I can't believe this hasn't been done yet here. Yes, it has to taste better than a fast food burger... Went to JJ Burger today (it is a Thai operation). Checked out the menu, decided to bypass the sushi offerings (?!??), etc. and order the double cheeseburger. Waited. Waited. Kept waiting. A large, single cheeseburger arrives; it is gray and sits on a fresh hamburger roll w/lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo. The fifteen or so small fries are limp, unappealing and as tastless as the burger proved to be. 145 baht... Hasta la vista y buena suerte, JJ- Gotta keep looking...

Jingthing Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Went to JJ Burger today (it is a Thai operation). Yeah, sadly even the menu pictures don't look appetizing. Thanks for confirming the sad news. Why is this so hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't need the highest grade cuts to make a good hamburger but you do need something half decent and most of the local places aren't even trying.

cochran Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I've just about given up on finding a good burger here (until I get off my a$$ and get over to Cafe Uno on the darkside, as recommended). Did find a place to get good beef to make your own, though. Go to Central market (basement of the Central Festival mall), and they have in their meat case minced trimmings from the Australian beef cuts they sell. This made a much better burger than the local stuff I bought before - not so watery or off-tasting. Just be aware this meat has a low fat content, so cook accordingly. Hope this isn't too off-topic.

whatchamacallit Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 Skimping on portions is what led to the demise of Luxor near Soi Day-Night. I think this American diner is doomed. Anyone looking for some slightly used neon signs, jukebox, and pictures of Elvis? As predicted - this joint is now closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
