Our previous postings might have given a clue that we do like asian food. We do. A lot. But that does not mean that we shirk away from other cuisines. In fact, we like a good burger now and then. And the Frankfurt quarter of Bornheim does provide us with a good feeding place: The Heroes Premium Burgers.
garlic bread with sour cream
The patties are not grilled to their very death here; they are nice and juicy. And if you aren’t into beef, there are chicken burgers or even vegetarian ones (halumi cheese). A side order of garlic bread has become tradition.
I decided to get a Butch witch cheese, nothing fancy, but with pickled salty cucumbers and aioli. They do know how to make a good aioli in that place. The place provides some hints on how to tackle a burger that is stacked so high they have to keep everything in place with a little wooden pin. You should first cut the thing in half and then take heart and grab you half burger and dig in. No dainty cutting off little slices with knife and fork.
The ‘Butch’ with cheese
But alas – the knives they provide are intended to spread butter on a slice of bread, they are so blunt. If you cut the burger in two you most likely than not make a complete mess of the affair.
Gobblinggermanman forsake the patties this time and opted for a burger with Sucuk, a spicy turkish sausage. Now these sausages are really resilient and trying to cut them resulted in a near-total disintegration of the burger and some minor attire mishaps. But the taste more than made up for it.
süper güc
We mentioned the knife problem to the attendant and had the impression that we weren’t the first to remark on it. This place has but 10 steak knives, and those are reserved for steak. Hopefully they will rethink their policy (or sharpen the existing knives). But apart from that, the place is nice and friendly, they have a lunch offer and you definitely need not be a hero to try their food.
