Always looking for a casual spot that offers a nice mix of something healthy and something yummy (hopefully both!), my hubby and I were recently invited to try Burgerim at its first US location in East Hollywood.
Burgerim is gourmet burger fast casual restaurant chain that is well known outside of the US for its its two, three or sixteen-burger combo boxes....but it's much more than that!
Make no mistake, Burgerim IS a burger joint, but different...
Larger than a slider, each Burgerim burger is made with an 2.8-ounce patty that's made in a variety of proteins including dry-aged beef, Wagyu beef, salmon, lamb, or even a veggie patty.
Burgers can be further personalized when adding one (or several) of the available toppings including a sunny-side up egg, pineapple, or sautéed mushrooms; or topped with one (or several) of the many speciality sauces, including the House sauce, BBQ, or spicy mayo.
To make your burger even yummier, Burgerim gives you a selection of three artisanal buns, including a gluten-free or whole wheat bun.
Each burger box can have all of the same burgers, or different burgers (the 16-burger box can have up to four different burgers, of four of each).
The sides, round seasoned fries (Burgerim fries) or onion rings, are served with a selection of dipping sauces that will leave you wanting more.
As for other items on the menu, I was partial to the the Basket Salad, made with fresh arugula, strawberries, candied pecans, goat cheese and topped with a raspberry vinaigrette.
While my hubby loved the desserts, especially the New York-style cheesecake.
The complete menu has a nice variety of sandwiches and other lunch and late-night munchie favorites, including chicken wings, sweet potato fries and home fries.
Burgerim Hollywood is a family friendly restaurant that will soon serve beer and wine.
No reservations are needed and street parking was easy to find. But for those not in the area, they also offer local delivery.
