Burgers are kind of my speciality. I love burgers so much I dream about them. I come from a city where burgers, especially gourmet burgers have exploded on the scene (Burger Priest anyone? Toronto whaaat). I was thoroughly impressed when my friend and I stumbled upon Hamburger Heaven one Saturday afternoon. We were hungover and walking along Broughton Street looking for somewhere to soak up the jaegerbombs we ingested the night before. We smelled something, something delicious that consequently changed my view on the hangover food situation in Edinburgh. Hamburger Heaven is really heaven. It's the heaven I want to go to when I die. This is a place Anthony Bourdain would frequent. We both ordered the cheeseburger with bacon and fried onions (I can't remember the real name of the burger). Wow. I think we both sat there stunned. You can tell someone put a lot of effort into the patty. So juicy and flavourful. I think I had smile on my face while eating it. The only downfall on the overall experience was the bun. The bun needs some attention. Some would say that this is a big deal but I think the meat, the actual important piece of the burger overrides this small defect. \n\nThe waiter who served us was a handsome Polish fellow who increased our dining experience with his impressive banter. He treated us like we were regulars and made an effort to get to know us (not in a flirtatious way, he swayed more for the other sex). A note to point out is that Hamburger Heaven and the Blue Moon Caf\u00e9 are connected and both establishments utilise the same toilets. Additionally, you can order burgers from the Hamburger Heaven menu if you're dining at the Blue Moon Caf\u00e9. Definitely give this place a shot. It has the power to cure your hangover!
