My Burger
Look out Smash Burger, there’s a new super-style burger
chain rising
My Burger has been quietly chugging away in the downtown Minneapolis skyways for years, serving up decent burgers, good fries, and little more. Until now. Suddenly they’ve opened a new location, between Lake Calhoun and the Minikhada Club, and it’s styled to the hilt, in a sort of post-pop-art, post-mod extravaganza of clean lines, bright colors, and a grounding palette of grays. You feel like you’re in a museum, or some other metropolis hotspot, and the food—beefy, thin burgers with good, sweet, fresh buns; fries with true potato-y depth and crispy grace—tastes much better than it does downtown. As of my visit, their wine and beer list was not yet realized, but once it is—ka-pow! Minneapolis goes head-to-head with Smashburger. If you like the Walker Art Center, the Weisman, and quick-serve burgers, your order’s up.
