Since I work in makati area, I make it a point to try at least something new at least once a week.
I was craving for burgers this morning and who would've known that by the the end of the day, I would have had two burgers meals - please be kind to my belly!
I introduce to you the Hangover Burger from Burger Bar in Greenbelt 2!
Onion-griddled double patty big game blend of hanger and brisket, yellow cheddar, crisp prosciutto, fried egg, arugula, caramelized onions, BBQ sauce and house aioli all on a sesame seed bun
Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. The presentation was less than appealing - see picture below but when I took a bite of the burger, it was really bland. So bland that I had to ask for extra salt and pepper and even ketchup - yes, that bland.
I just ate the bland patty with my extra condiments and basically left everything else behind, such a waste of calories to eat them all anyway.
My disappointing lunch transcended to dinner. I wanted, no, I needed a good burger, good enough to wipe lunch's burger off my mind. And I suddenly remembered an officemate saying something about Lusso in GB5 so I headed there with burger in my mind. Hehe
Lusso in Italian, mean Luxe, so my expectations were melt in your mouth juicy burgers!
We ordered the Lusso Demi-Pound Burger
US Beef, Foie Gras, Cambozola Bath and Prosecco Onions
And this did not disappoint!
The bread was firm on the outside yet tender inside and had a salty taste to it. The burger was juicy and thick but cooked well until the inside. The Foie Gras was soft and flavorful.
If you want to cleanse your palette, the side salad fits the bill.
As for the Cambozola bath, I preferred it as a dip for the fries, it has a tangy cheesy after taste rather than on the burger - you will not be able to distinguish the Cambozola Cheese if you eat it with the burger.
This made my tummy really happy. :)

| Big Foie Gras cut in the middle |
Another entree caught our eyes as well - carb lovers unite! - the Luxe "Mac and Cheese"
Pancetta, Formaggio Trio
This tastes like your regular Mac and Cheese with a cheesy kick afterwards, the cheese was so mild you would want to take another bite to be satisfied with the cheesy taste you were looking for.
This reminds me of the Truffled Mac and Cheese in 2nd's.
