Michelin Chef’s Pop‑Up Burger Spot — Rêve Burger 🍔🌟

You might think I’m talking about Gordon Ramsay’s new burger joint? Nope — that one’s way too hyped right now. I’ll wait for the crowds to calm down before trying it. Today’s pick is something different: Three‑Michelin‑starred chef Curtis Duffy, known for Ever, also runs a quick‑serve spot called Rêve Burger (and yes, “Rêve” backwards spells “Ever” 😉). Even though it’s fast‑casual, the flavors are seriously impressive! 🧀 Bacon Cheeseburger It features thick‑cut bacon similar to Au Cheval’s, but a bit chewier. The sauce is tangy‑sweet, layered with pickles that cut through the richness of the double patties — every bite makes you want another. I still prefer Au Cheval’s savory‑umami style, but honestly, Rêve is delicious in its own right! 🍟 The Fries Are the Real Star! They taste like the addictive little snacks from childhood — simply seasoned with salt and pepper, maybe? But so, so moreish. 📍 The shop is right across from Ever, take‑out only for now. You ring the bell (photo 5), and someone opens the window to take your order. But since it was freezing, the burger guy kindly let me wait inside. When I went, it was just me and a few delivery orders — the cook even paused to watch TV mid‑prep 😄 — but my food was ready in about 10 minutes. 📋 The menu’s definitely worth a visit before the chef decides to close this cool little pop‑up!
