When people learn that I’m a piecemeal restaurant critic for an obscure local social blog, they almost always try to falsely connect with me the only way they know how, by typically asking the rote question “Who’s got the best hamburger in town?”
Let’s just get this out of the way: it is now and forever will be—for me, at least—Geronimo’s Bakery, 1817 N. Martin Luther King Ave. Please refer to this review in the future.
A pillar of the Eastside for well over forty years, Geronimo’s ain’t a theme restaurant for the touristy eater; there’s no laminated menu filled with cute burger names that’ll make you giggle while the kids crayon-up a coloring page of an anthropomorphic hot-dog while they wait for their chicken nuggets—no, this is just a place to get a good fucking cheeseburger, greasy fat fries and a big cup of Kool-Aid.
