Mark and I got hungry after a tiring workout one Friday night a few weeks back. Since we just ate at Racks at The Fort Strip, we decided to checkout the restaurants in Bonifacio High Street instead.

It was already past dinner time but most of the restaurants were still packed, maybe because it's a Friday night, and so we settled at Brothers Burger since it was the first restaurant that we saw with vacant seats.

Mark and I both got the Black Angus Burger meal. The burger may look plain and not that appetizing but the 1/2-lb flame-grilled 100% black Angus beef patty was flavorful. The tender and juicy beef patty's flavor oozes out at each bite. The patty is topped with sliced cheese (I would love it more though if there were 2 cheese slices haha) and is garnished with fresh lettuce and tomato, catsup, and mayonnaise (which were obviously covered by the big beef patty) on a toasted oatmeal bun.

The meal comes with soda and a choice of french fries or onion rings. Dips (which may also be made as burger toppings) may also be also be availed for an additional charge.

I've heard raves and read good reviews about Racks and how it has become famous over the years for their ribs, but it was just a few months back when I first got to try it out.  I needed to get something from Mark that time at Fitness First, so he invited me over for lunch.  Since we can't decide where to dine, we opted to dine at Rack's which is just a few steps from the gym. :p

It was already past lunch time but the place was still packed, but we were still lucky to get a table for two.  After rummaging through the menu, Mark and I both decided to try their house specialties. Racks house specialties are served with a choice of garlic or corn bread and two regular side dishes.  Their side dishes are served in hearty portions and are a great complement to their ribs.  Mark got Racks Beef Ribs and chose garlic bread and 2 regular macaroni and cheese.

I can still recall how I drooled over my friend Je's post about Racks broccoli and cheese, so I made sure to get one to go with my Hickory Smoked Chicken.  I love how the broccoli was cooked just right as it still maintained its crunch.  The sweetness of the blanched broccoli was perfect and balanced out the slight saltiness of the creamy cheese as they melt in my mouth.
