Unexpected Places

You can often find delicious food in the most unexpected places. Today, it was a crispy tofu burger at a tiny, sign-less, stand housed in what was formerly a public bathroom under the subway tracks.

Burgermeister offers a tofu burger with mango curry sauce, in addition to a variety of incredible-looking bacon-topped concoctions, so we ordered two of them once we squeezed inside the little space.

The windows were artfully decorated with band stickers.

After a ten minute wait fraught with hunger and anticipation, our number appeared and we gathered our piping hot, fresh-out-of-the-deep-fryer tofu burgers.

The "burger" itself was not particularly exciting - a plain slab of fried tofu - but it did have a wonderful crispiness, which was unexpected but delightful in a burger. The obligatory tomato, lettuce, and red onion helped round things out, and the bun, ultra-soft and fried to a golden brown on the inner sides, was perfect. Topped with a squirt of the sweet mango sauce on top, anchored with a dollop of mayonnaise, and slathered in ketchup, it was pretty tasty.

And undoubtedly the best thing ever to come out of a train station bathroom.
