| One of the best burgers in Kansas City ... is in Lawrence |
The much-touted Burger Stand at Dempsey's Irish Pub in Lawrence, Kansas, added a few new hamburgers to its menu last Saturday.
The Burger Stand is the creation of Lawrence chef Robert Krause, best known for his seriously upscale Krause Dining at 917 Delaware. Krause added the gourmet burger business to the existing Dempsey's (623 Vermont Street) last February with chef Simon Bates.
Customers order their burgers and fries up at the bar and, if the place isn't too busy, someone will bring out the plastic mesh baskets of beef burgers. If the joint's jumping, customers have to listen for their names to be called out over the sound system and then go pick up the burgers themselves.
The burgers aren't cheap -- most are in the $8 to $9 range and that doesn't include fries -- but really excellent.
I had one with an order of the duck fat fries and I'll be honest, it turned a cheeseburger into an extraordinary experience.
The other new burgers are the pork chili burger and, just in time for Octoberfest, a Hamburg Burger with braised red cabbage, house-made pickle relish and stone-ground mustard.
