GAWD, what a well-reviewed puck of overcooked nonsense that thing was. I know, it's a chain, but it's a chain that kept getting reviewed well for their burgers. Heads up...most reviewers are non-chefs and couldn't cook their way out of a wet paper bag even if you started a hole in it for them.


If you order the Houston's burger med rare, prepare for disappointment. They will overcook it. I've tried 4 times--it was consistently overcooked. Frankly, the quality of the preparation and the meat makes the temperature a moot point. It was basically a ground chuck Frisbee--the bun was a pillowy, dry disaster that made want to curse out the poor soul that suggested that thing.


Burger Review : In LA--just go to The Stand down the street--the burgers were far better. The burgers at Houston's were pricey, overcooked and bland.
