Whoopi Goldburger (You heard that right)

W.P. Gold Burger was another one of the restaurants on our must-try list. We stopped by two or three times, but they were either out of burgers or closed. When we walked by and they were open we knew we had to try it.

The presentation, atmosphere and obviously the names of the burgers won me over, so you can imagine my disappointment when I bit into a hard, chewy and dry patty. The condiments were packed with flavor, and I imagine it would've been the perfect blend had it been paired with a moist and juicy patty as I had hoped for. -Mari

My burger was the other side of the story. The patty, unlike Mari's, was moist, juicy, and tender.  It was seasoned well and the meat was delicious. The bacon was very thick and tasty and the cheese was perfectly sharp cheddar.  The mashed potatoes were delicious and left me wanting more even after the last bite. -Daniel

OVERALL

Whoopi Goldburger has a really chill, bro-den feeling atmosphere. The two that run the place are childhood friends, and are self-taught so the flavor is unique. When we got there they were just opening so they were still semi-preparing for the night. I think that's what caused Mari's unluckiness, and I want to give it another try someday. -Daniel

Smokehouse, Shibuya

Daniel and I always walked past the Smokehouse on our way to either Shibuya or Harajuku and we always said, "One day we'll try it out." This afternoon we decided that today was finally the day to finally see what the buzz was about. 

Anxious and hungry

Mushroom Soup and Homemade Bread Lunch Set

 Looking back at what I ordered I'm ashamed of myself. Who the heck orders a vegetarian soup at a BBQ restaurant?! Not that it was bad, I'm just wondering what came over me when I chose the soup set over a stack of ribs. It wasn't like me at all. The soup was creamy and the bread was toasted and warm. It's filling and great to order if you're not so hungry. -Mari

Barbeque Plate (with Coleslaw and Cornbread) Lunch Set

Unlike Mari I went for the whole sha-bang. BBQ Chicken, Kansas City style ribs, cornbread, and coleslaw. It was awesome. The tomato-based sauce on the ribs and chicken was delicious. It was sweet, spicy and tangy. The meat was fall of the bone tender and the four additional side sauces made it even better. My personal favorite sauce for the ribs was the Voodoo Hot (sweet, tomato-based, with habanero peppers). -Daniel

OVERALL

The food was good, atmosphere was cozy, and the waiters were really nice. We'd definitely go back to eat there again.
