Thu May 18 13:28:28 -0700 2006 0 em 1 1241758 There's a snippet about it on blog Cupcakes Take the Cake: "Burgers are chubby and juicy, ground from well-herded beef that arrives fresh every day—get them on a basket of crispy fries. Dress your burger with a vast list of toppings, from Double Thick Bacon to Cranberry Sauce to Pizza (in case you're looking for a way to get your other favorite food item into the mix). Non-beef burger options abound as well (Veggie, Turkey, Salmon, Lemon Grilled Chicken, and Portobella Mushroom). Cupcakes (which she'll love, and which you'll pretend to be reluctant to eat) are smallish, simple and moist, and come in more cake varieties than usual—vanilla, chocolate, blueberry, and carrot cake."

Although I never ate there, I have passed by and looked at the menu. It was a very casual eat-in/take-out kind of place. I should think that this new concept will be the same.

I'm a Mitchel London fan, so I want to see him succeed here, but I don't think it's possible without a little more attention to ambiance.
