Last night I met up with a friend of mine to check out Mitchel London’s Burgers and Cupcakes (9th Ave between 35th & 36th). I love this idea; what’s better than those two items?

We ordered a burger (medium) with blue cheese and double thick bacon (the only other bacon choice was turkey — no f*cking way). The burger itself was good – juicy and tasty. The blue cheese was very salty and the bacon was way too thick and the texture was more like jerky than bacon. The bun was soggy, which is to be expected with all the juicy goodness, but I didn’t love the flavor of it.

The cupcake was chocolate with vanilla icing that was dyed blue. This is just a personal thing, but I don’t like vanilla icing to be dyed any funky colors unless it is a special occasion because it give the impression that the icing is flavored. Yes, I realize I’m a stickler and a little crazy. It tasted like a homemade cupcake – the cake was fairly standard, nothing unusual or particularly fabulous and the icing was fine.

The verdict? Go, but maybe just stick to cheddar cheese and skip the bacon. Enjoy a cupcake, but don’t expect to be blown away. I would go back for the burgers.
