I heard a rumor last week, from two separate people. There was a new restaurant on the block and it wasn’t effing around. Somewhere on Seifertova, the story went, a little joint had opened up with the joyous name of “Yes Burger.”
I admit I’m a bit surprised I didn’t immediately walk over to check it out. After all, it’s only two blocks down the hill from my apartment. Finding exactly where it was required that I take the tram past my usual stop at Husinecká, though. Sometimes you just want to get home, and your adventurous spirit is usually at a minimum after a long day of work followed by the gym.
Last night, however, the temperatures and extended daylight had put a little touch of spring fever and its wonderful energy into me, so I decided to check it out. It turns out it’s only one block up from the Husinecká tram stop, on Seifertova in Žižkov. I ordered the simplest burger they offer, to go.
Forgive the blurriness, sometimes you just want to eat the damn thing.
For 55 crowns, it’s a pretty great deal, and comes with fresh lettuce, onions, pickles and ketchup. I wasn’t blown away, in fact I was a bit disappointed with the meat, which while it was indeed 100 percent beef, I found it to be too dry. But there’s a lot more tasting to be done at Yes Burger, and I don’t really want to form any conclusions at this point in time. Consider this just a heads up. Here’s some shots I took this morning:

Open daily until 11 p.m. As my boyfriend said: "If they're open until 2 a.m. I'm screwed."
“here was a new restaurant on the block and it wasn’t effing around.”
What the eff!!!
and to think all this time i’ve been buying crocodile sandwiches for the same price. though the spiz one is pretty tasty…
Oh lordy. Yet another ode to hamburgers from the Post folks! When will it end??
Burgers? You must be hurting…and maybe reviewers cover too intensely anyway…not everything is worthy of your time or readers´….
Newspapers are in a constant state of hurt, Rover. If ONLY piddling blog posts about burgers assuaged that at all.
The fact is, the restaurant opened, and I report on restaurants. Maybe hamburgers inflame reader indignation because it seems a quintessential American food.
