Yesterday was National Cheeseburger Day. I wanted to swing by and check out one of my favorite burgers on planet Earth at Miru 8691. I discovered that the establishment had closed.
National Cheeseburger Day became a day of cheeseburger mourning.
The mantle of Best Cheeseburger in America is now conferred to The Brindle Room in Manhattan, NY.
Miru 8691 is dead...long live Miru 8691
Noooooooo!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have reached out to Chef Jung to see what's next. There are some really good burgers in LA, but MIRU8691 was one-of-a-kind.
ReplyDeleteThat's too bad. I always wanted to visit it so I could see what you were on about. Now I can't. If you talk to Chef Jung tell him his next restaurant might do better if he doesn't name it after the serial number on a his Hyundai.
ReplyDeleteNow, now...8691 is the reverse of Chef Jung's wife's birth year. It was a sweet and romantic naming convention. I think that the location was a real factor in the downturn of his business.
ReplyDeleteIt truly was a magnificent burger, and I feel lucky to have enjoyed it as many times as I did.
