Review of Grüner Restaurant

I came for the Impossible Burger. I really wanted ...

I came for the Impossible Burger. I really wanted to like this place. I had the Impossible Burger in New York, and it was amazing. Unfortunately, SuperBite could not make the burger vegan with hamburger buns, so I was offered fry bread. "Alright, I'll try it."

Well, I get the burger and there is only one piece of bread. Is this still a burger?? It came with diced onions, pickles, and shredded iceberg lettuce. For how much? $15. For an open-face burger. I ate it with a fork and knife. Not a burger.

Next, I cut it open, still excited to see how they cooked it. It was nothing like New York and how Impossible Burger markets the burger. I was anticipating medium-rare, and this was cooked well-done. Something special about Impossible Burger is that you DON'T need to cook it to the same temperature as a cow burger. It can be juicier, at no extra risk of disease.

I paid $12 for the burger in Manhattan. I regret even going for this one, and I still paid more. I wish I could revisit and recommend SuperBite to others, but after this, I can't.

On the upside, the waiter was polite, attentive, and considered every ingredient when I asked about having the burger vegan. However, the waiter didn't seem to think there was a problem serving the burger with one piece of bread.
