B-U-R-G-E-R-S, that's how you spell Burgers.
This is a two-in-one review of two different burger joints in Dublin who just happen to be right next to eachother on the street! (Literally neighbors.)
The two places are called Gourmet Burger Kitchen and Jo'Burger. Of the two, one is traditional, one likes weird combinations. One is chain around the city, the other only has two locations. One is well-priced, the other tends to overcharge. One is a traditional-looking restaurant, the other is edgy and has a "cool" vibe to it.

The "one" I keep talking about is Gourmet Burger Kitchen and I tried that one out with my dad who is in town teaching a CISSP course for the week. This restaurant was traditional (it had an Olive Garden feel for my American readers). We were both surprised by the massive size of the burger, but we also enjoyed some french fries, fried mushrooms, and hot wings as appetizers, so it was quite a lot of food. I enjoyed a classic cheddar cheeseburger with bacon. It was a classic, and it was delicious.

The "other" is Jo'Burger Town which I tried out one evening after getting done at the lab because I was really in the mood for some hamburger meat. Sometimes the cravings hit hard, you know? At this point, I was feeling adventurous and after a lab mate recommended Jo'Burger to me, I headed over there. I ordered a hamburger without the bun with caramelized chili banana, aragula, and goat cheese on the top... I was scared at first, but it was delicious! The restaurant itself is very unique and I could easily see the hippest of hipsters enjoying a burger here.
