These days, it’s not all that hard to find burger in Jerusalem. There are several local franchises that have surfaced and they offer an acceptable burger but I want to give a big greasy-fingered high five to Memphis, on Agrippas, near Mahane Yehuda. I found the place after stopping for a cold glass of beer in the Shuk, asking the barkeep whereI could get a decent burger. He jerked a thumb in the direction of the exit and smiled, “You need to try Memphis, just down the street.” Guess he knew from the hungry glint in my eye, that I was a genuine connoisseur of the Great American Burger. And who could resist a place called Memphis? I wasn’t disappointed. Memphis cooks up three different burgers and I chose the medium-sized one—which was quite filling. The burgers come with fries (or “chips” as they’re called in Israel) and a big side order of Delicious!
