Instagram Post 7\/16\/2019<\/h4>\n

A burger, in the culinary sense of the word, consists of ground or chopped meat served on a split bun (at least for the purposes of today\u2019s post). In my ethnojunkets<\/a> to Queens Food Courts, it\u2019s evident that there\u2019s no shortage of \u201cChinese Burgers\u201d and they differ radically from one location to the next, both in terms of definition and quality. A few examples:<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a>Shaanxi Tasty Food, stall #27 in Super HK Food Court, 37-11 Main St, Flushing, boasts a Cumin Fried Beef Burger (item A3 on the menu), one of the best of the bunch IMHO, along with…
\n\"\"<\/a>…Chinese Burger (item A2), pork and onions, a little less intense than its mate.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This is Cumin Lamb Chinese Hamburger from Liang Pi Wang (item 5) because cumin and lamb. There\u2019s a proliferation of Liang Pi Wang venues, specifically stall #3 in Super HK Food Court (above), stall #10 in New York Food Court at 133-35 Roosevelt Ave, and stall #22 in Elmhurst\u2019s HK Food Court at 82-02 45th Ave.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Yuan Muwu occupies stall #30 in Elmhurst\u2019s HK Food Court. Although they don\u2019t use the word \u201cburger\u201d I\u2019d be hard pressed to call this by another name; they\u2019ve opted for \u201cPork Pancake\u201d (the menu reads \u201cPoke Pancake\u201d but we know what they mean). This one is pork belly on a sesame seed bun. When I tried it, the bun was over-toasted and its contents was a little dry; they may have better offerings.
