Black Cab Burger

One of those beautiful fall days when I decided to take a ride up to the city from the countryside and my cats. As I have difficulty getting around I plot my visits accordingly with the least amount of effort.

Black Cab Burger was on my list and I even remembered where to find them without my diary - which was left at home.

Mester street is not really a touristy place but there is a tram stop at the entrance of the street on the 4/6 tram - and a few blocks in (#46) I've found the place. Small with only 5 tables indoors and three curbside, good looking gentlemen behind the counter. I placed my order for a burger grilled medium.

I was told they could only promise a medium if I order a double. Let me not ruin a good thing - make it a double. Unfortunately, they only had UK beer and I was not willing to pay the equivalent of $5 for it so it was mineral water to wash it down.

Their rest rooms were neither downstairs or upstairs - but on the same level. That alrady earned the place a good point - unisex, but it was clean.

My burger was done and handed to me on a tray wrapped in butcher paper - nice large burger with juices beginning to ooze. I asked for 'everything' on it and that is how I received it.

Meat patty was prominent and grilled to medium - thank you. Even with cheese and bacon the flavor of the burger was not overwhelmed - but each bite delivered a nice even balance. It was one of the quickest eats. I was hungry, but more so - I was hungry for GOOD MEAT.

It is a little further on my general route in the city - but the next time I want a good burger, I'll be back.
