Henry’s Hat

This one was a little off my radar, but my friend Brandon bought a Living Social coupon and we decided to check out Henry's Hat (@henryhatla). At first, I was skeptical seeing as the restaurant is located on Cahuenga just across from the entrance to Universal Studios. Thankfully there is valet parking for a reasonable (for LA at least) $4. Inside there are TVs everywhere so it is a great place to watch a game. They also have a big bar with seating and a huge community table in the middle of the restaurant if you want to make new friends. The most interesting part of Henry's Hat is that they have board games and some video games available for you to play while eating. This would be a great place for a birthday party (young and old) or just a place to hang out while playing games and being served good food and drinks.

The burger I chose is the Black and Blue. This normally comes with sautéed mushrooms but seeing as how I am not a big mushroom fan and this was the closest burger to the others, I ordered it without the mushrooms. The meat is Meyer Ranch Prime beef. The patty itself was just average, but cooked perfectly medium with a little pink color inside. The onions were also sautéed, but in balsamic vinegar. The onions were very good but a little sweet and a little over powering. The burger came with Danish blue cheese, which was nice and creamy but not overpowering, and arugula. I wish more of the peppery flavor of the arugula would have come through as that would have been a nice complement to the onions and the cheese. The bun was a brioche bun that is becoming almost expected as I go through this adventure. The bun was actually a very nice addition to the burger as it was not greasy and the softness of the inside was a nice contrast the rest of the textures of the burgers. Overall, this is a very good burger but not spectacular.
