Gonzague Burger
Here’s an address that celebrates the art of the burger with a capital B and a hefty one at that. At Gonzague Burger, nothing is left to chance, as the small dishes are literally put into large ones. The concept was born in the minds of two enthusiasts: “What if we restored the burger to its former glory, the real thing? The burger is delicious and the home fries are served as much as you like. That’s all there is to it.
