My boyfriend and I were excited to visit Hubert Keller's Burger Bar in the Mandalay Place after Keller's appearance on Top Chef Masters. \n\nMy boyfriend customized a Natural Burger(?) with Swiss cheese and portabella mushroom on a wheat bun with a side of onion rings, while I customized my Kobe Burger with mozzarella, caramelized onions, and garlic aioli on a sesame bun, and I got mine with a side of sweet potato fries.\n\nNow, don't get me wrong. These were good burgers. But there was nothing more to it. They were good, but not exceptional. We were expecting in-your-face goodness but the burgers certainly failed to meet that expectation, considering the chef's reputation. Quite honestly, Umami in LA has better burgers; the patties are incredibly juicy at Umami. For what the Burger Bar is charging, i.e. anywhere from $10 ~ $16 for a burger that comes with fries, or $16~$21 customized burger and sides, they need to do better than what they are serving now. \n\nThe only things that were memorable were the garlic aioli and the onion rings; other than that, I would consider this place as \"been there, done that\" and something that I have checked off my list, but do not expect to visit again.
