Bad Jimmy’s Makes Me Believe In Burgers Again
Bad Jimmy’s
Downtown - 108 E Pierce St
I’ll admit this right now—I’ve been done with burgers for a few years now. Years and years ago I loved going to Delux, but that’s gone now. A few other places had nice burgers, but then I tried Shake Shack for the first time and thought, “This is about all I need.” So I spammed Shake Shack for a few months, then retired from the game. I sapped all the joy from burgertown. They were as dead to me as fettuccini alfredo. But then everything changed!!! One trip to Bad Jimmy’s opened my eyes to what a burger was meant to be, and how it was meant to be thought about. Burgers needed to simultaneously care a little bit less, and a little bit more. Less pretension, more Maillard reaction. And not just a little smash done by some sad high-school kid—I’m talking a smash that caramelizes those edges, pushing meat far beyond the confines of its bun. Hell yeah.
