Dressing does not a burger make

Dear Sir,

The burger at Four L's on 2nd and Washington knocks my socks off. Put aside the idea of dressing an overcooked piece of beef with cheese, bacon, and other slatherings. The succulency and slap-yo-grandma-flavor of the meat ALONE is unparalleled in a town that is home to more than a handful of establishments that boast the "Best Burger in Town." (Junior's, I'm looking at you…)

The fries are shoestring, perfectly crisped in clean oil and salted expertly. Quite the compliment. As I'm sure you're a busy man, I don't expect correspondence, but if you do find yourself as impressed with this fine sandwich, please let me know.

George-

Please accept our profound admiration of your passion and integrity as they relate to the sandwich arts.

While Hoboken is stacked with top tier burger offerings we can certainly afford to add another to the list. Unfortunately for 4L's I have been rendered unable to sample their fare in quite some time. You see, this establishment is frequented by a particular individual who, in the semi-recent past, gave HobokenSandwich a broken heart with a side of Old Bay fries and some coleslaw. As an emotional cripple it is simply beyond my capability to venture too close to she who chose to look elsewhere for the meat to compliment her buns.

Alas, if someday I choose to throw caution to the wind and make the leap back to society, 4L's will be the Everest I must climb. Until then I will continue to focus a disturbing level of value on sandwiches, and sandwich related topics.

My retreat from society serves to facilitate my art. A return to life might well be the death of inspiration. Give me a life of misery and meaning over a life of social comfort devoid of inspiration.

But, take heart good lad, our ship is not yet sunk as far as the 4L burger is concerned. We have prepared for such minor issues to arrise and have an established work-around.

For a HobokenSandwich T shirt (100% cotton) send one 4L's Burger to HobokenSandwich HQ and we will give it the appropriate attention. Submit your burger in a sealed FedEx, UPS, or US Mail express envelope and send it to:

HobokenSandwich
Attn: Buger, Quesadilla, & Soup Department
88 Clinton Street #9
Hoboken, NJ
07030

Please put your socks back on your feet and consider making this minimal effort to help improve the community, and perhaps put a warm glow back in the heart of HobokenSandwich.

Regards-HobokenSandwich
