Ate in at Gjusta for the first time in a while, so I decided to give the cheeseburger another try. And I have to say, I enjoyed it a lot more than I did the first time, when I took it to go.
The arugula was crisp and peppery, not wilted like before. The patty was loosely formed with a nice crust from the sear. I really liked how the sour pickles and smoked tomato complimented the juicy meat.
My only complaint was something @Chowseeker1999 pointed out: the patty comes out overcooked. Mine was actually closer to well done than medium even. Still juicy, but I would have preferred medium rare.
I wonder if they cook it that way because of the blend of meat they’re using. Like the fat from the marrow and short rib doesn’t render properly if they don’t cook it long enough.
