crane

Have had Crane on my "to try" list for some time now after they were on a Jdrama about burgers.

It is a tiny burger shop that seats about 20 people. 

When I got there, it was about 10 minutes before opening time and there was a large group of 8 high school students before me...

After I was seated, all the other seats filled up

I ordered the Luther Burger....1850 yen (plus tax) and an oolong tea 190 yen (plus tax)

apparently a Luther Burger uses a doughnut instead of a bun and is apparently named after singer Luther Vandross.
Anyway, the glaze on this burger was so krazy sticky!

I had the hardest time getting it into this paper wrapper and then to eat it...glaze everywhere!

But, this smash style burger was so ono! peppery, meaty and juicy

It is topped with super crispy bacon (a rarity), tomato, lettuce and cheese.

And even though I thought I wiped up all the glaze all over my face, aiyah! to all the people who didn't tell me I had doughnut glaze on my nose columella (had to look up what it was called) and tip of my nose...guess no one looks at people's faces anymore...

Anyway, they have this super cheesy burger that is viral that I wouldn't mind trying...I'll be back.

Donut instead of a plain bun. I am not sophisticated nor adventurous enough to try that combo. I've never tried chicken and waffles either! N

N, I wouldn't mind trying chicken and waffles :) Take care! Kat

A donut instead of a bun doesn't sound bad......but having a glaze on it just seem to make sense.

If Japan keeps this up with the sugary introduction, I wonder if diabetes will increase.

Kirk, I guess I didn't think it would be THAT sticky :) Take care, Kat
