White Trash Fast Food BerlinBravo, ..., the Burger I ate at White Trash Fast Food has honestly surprised me. It was much better than I had expected, and although I would not necessary classify them as a gourmet burger restaurant, they did a better job than many who claim to be one.
WTFF as the restaurant is abbreviated is located at Rosa Luxemburg Platz, in an old chinese restaurant, which during GDR times was frequented by communist party officials. Since WTFF has moved from its former location in a panel flat, several rumors and myths were spread about the place. Frequented by celebrities like Quentin Tarantino or Lemmy Kilmister (frontman of heavy metal band Motörhead), the place has become a regular hang out for Berlin's creative cool crowd and artists.
The Hamburger WTFF offer is a basic hamburger without any fancy ingredients, but with all the luxury a homemade burger needs. The buns, which are made by a local bio baker, are regular sesame bun, that come in perfect proportion to the meat patty. The meat patties are hand formed and taste just like they are supposed to taste; smokey grill-, and caramelized meat flavors, etc...
The toppings are standard lettuce, tomato and pickles. The reason why I gave WTFF a 6 minus is that the lettuce was already withered and slightly brown on the edges. As GBK is my standard to which everything else is compared, I have to say that the two burgers are on par. What WTFF got absolutely right was the bun though, which had the perfect consistency. While GBK's bun was a bit burned and dry, WTFF's bun was soft on the outside but crunchy and caramelized on the inside to prevent it from becoming soggy from the meat.
The fries were also very good, just as they are supposed to be.
If you are looking for a genuine, homemade burger, this place is definitely worth a visit.
