"J.G. Melon’s cheeseburger may not be one of the city's best, but it is one of the most satisfying. Flipped on a grill that’s been accumulating grease since 1972, the patty comes covered in a mess of hard-to-wrangle toppings, and yes it will be cooked medium-well, no matter how you order it. But for making something so basic feel so necessary (after all those martinis you just drank), J.G. Melon deserves recognition." - bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah
