VS Bubby's

Today, I went to Bubby's in Yokohama. It is the restaurant born in America. They opened the first Japanese franchise in Minatomirai, Yokohama.
I had known the existence of the restaurant in Yokohama, but I had never been to it for a long time. But, when I read METROPLIS, the free magazine published in Japan, last month, it informed us of its high quality hamburger. So, I had the strong desire to eat it, when I read the magazine.
By chance, I had the opportunity to go to Yokohama today. I went there to sell books in the annual congress of the Japanese neurological surgeons. Of course, I didn't truly and utterly know what kind of the books they bought. But it was not a problem. My purpose to go to Yokohama was just to go to Bubby's.

After the boring job to sell the books I could't understand, I went to the restaurant and ordered the hamburger and the black beer.
It took about 20 minutes for the burger to come. I thought it was too long, but the taste and quality was very good. Fortunately we Japanese are accustomed to McDonald or other chain burger restaurants. So, it is very difficult to imagine the taste of truly very different kinds of hamburger. This time, I could enjoy Bubby's burger very much. Its thick and medium rare hamburg was fitted to beer. And, because I think a hamburger is the symbol of the fast food, I ate it very fast. The style of eating is also important.
