Franz Burger

Judging from the photos on the wall of the restaurant, I understand that the owner of Franz Burgers has been the resident caterer of some local concert production company (I reckon that would be the group of Steve O'Neil of DZRJ fame).  You can see him pictured standing with Rex Smith, the Earth Wind & Fire, the Cascades, and numerous other foreign and local music artists.  Located along Scout Delgado St. (perpendicular to Tomas Morato Avenue), this burger house is probably located at what used to be the old residence of the owner.  

Cousin Ed and I had an afternoon snack, and being a bit hungry, it was a heavy merienda that we ordered--steak and a burger!  The burger came in hot and it was freshly made.  The patty was juicy and the overall experience was good.  The steak, however, was a bit overdone (we asked for medium rare), and we found it to be dry and on the tough side, which was quite disappointing.

The dining area has two sections, the inner room being the air-conditioned portion.  The atmosphere was informal and the staff were a jolly helpful set.  I was particularly happy that they had mustard; while all burger joints have ketchup, mustard is only available in selected shops.  If you visit the place, just go for the burgers, which is the specialty of the house.  Average spend should be in the vicinity of P200 per head for a good meal, although you can get by with P100 per head.
