2010 Jan 11 Take 5: Gut-Busting Burgers
New Year’s resolutions be damned. You’re bound to slip up eventually, so tumble off the diet wagon in style by treating yourself to one of these all-American towers of power.
The Steakhouse Burger (RMB 70)
at All-Star Sports Bar & Grill
Watch the gridiron as you tackle the new All-Star signature – juicy charred beef, American cheese, crunchy onion strings and horseradish mayo. It comes with regular fries, sweet potato chips or onion rings on the side … and food sweats.
Mon-Fri 11am-2am. 1/F, Bldg 5, Solana Shopping Mall, 6 Chaoyang Gongyuan Lu, Chaoyang District (5905 6999) 朝阳区朝阳公园路6号蓝色港湾国际商区 5-1
The Montana (RMB 80)
at Blue Frog
Australian beef, onion rings, bacon, cheddar, BBQ sauce, tomatoes and pickles.
The only thing higher than this triple-stacked monster will be your cholesterol, especially if you dine alone on two-for-one “Burger, Burger” Mondays. Fries included.
Daily 10am-2am. S4-30, 3/F, Bldg 4, The Village at Sanlitun, 19 Sanlitun Beilu, Chaoyang District (6417 4030) www.bluefrog.com.cn
蓝蛙, 朝阳区三里屯北路19号三里屯Village4号楼3层S4-30
Cheeseburger (RMB 58)
at Let’s Burger
Sure, you can splurge on tiger prawns, foie gras and shiitake mushroom fillings at Let’s Burger, but the original cheese is still number one. You can eat it with your hands too, which deserves points. The fries cost extra, but they’re the best in town.
Daily 11.30am-midnight. D101A, Nali Patio, 81 Sanlitun Beilu, Chaoyang District (5208 6036) 朝阳区三里屯北路81号那里花园D101A
Build Your Own Burger (RMB 180+15%)
at One East
More customizable than an Ikea wardrobe, these gourmet giants can be constructed with everything from goat’s cheese to dried cranberries. The sommelier will even pair your creation with the perfect tipple. Served with fries cut your way, on a Stars ‘n’ Stripes plate.
Mon-Fri noon-2.30pm, 6-10.30pm. 2/F, Hilton Beijing, 1 Dongfang Lu, Chaoyang District (5865 5030) 东方路一号, 朝阳区东方路1号希尔顿酒店2层
The DB Burger (RMB 168)
at Maison Boulud
From the Frenchman who gave New York the USD 130 truffle burger comes Beijing’s own tuxedo-wearing fat boy.
A sirloin beef slab balances braised short ribs and foie gras inside a Parmesan bun, with a cone of frites on the side. Sacrebleu!
Mon-Fri 11.30am-2pm, 6-10.30pm, Sat-Sun 11am-4pm, 6-10.30pm. Ch’ien Men 23, 23 Qianmen Dongdajie, Dongcheng District (6559 9200)
