Benz Brothers: The battle for Tel Aviv burgers continues, with a new-old claimant to the crown

We really do not know what attracts everyone to this specific section of Ibn Gvirol, and we really do not care so much

"... and so, the last stop of this 'Race for a Million' now stands roughly where the 'Showcase' queue begins every afternoon, and that's a piece of statement, even if it is based on a not very rare combination in our places (but still noteworthy) of security Myself, healthy cheekiness and a full ass ceremony. Now all that remains is to see if this exhausting foreplay also has receipts for a "

nostalgic dive into the first column of this section, sometime 21 months ago, brought me back in recent days to GDB Burger, forerunners of the" revolution that came out In practice, 260 meters from the king. "

it was completely excessive, but also completely proportional. No revolution has actually taken place of course - Nati's showcase is still kicking - but GDB still deliver one of the best burgers in town, proving every day anew the strength of the competition cliché that benefits everyone.

And so, for almost two years now, two burgers have dominated the city’s top echelons, mixing smoke two patties apart.

It's probably time to step up.

Good urban wiping is rare

Who needs an egg over?

Maybe it's the neighborhood, maybe it's the fact that it's hard for us to get and pump such a professional-under-the-radar.

Either way, now that's changing

Brothers Ben and Matan Basiller have been running Benz Brothers in Florence for almost a decade, an excellent and efficient "workshop" for burgers, with quite a few loyal fans but also with a slightly vague urban resonance. Maybe it's the neighborhood, maybe it's the fact that it's hard for us to get and pump such a professional-under-the-radar. Either way, now that's changing.

The Benz Brothers branch in Ibn Gvirol continues the "workshop" line with an Argentine no-bullshit approach, meat-based and absent, well, anything that might interfere with the meat. Want an example? An egg, for example, was tried at the mother branch and discarded from the toppings menu as soon as it was understood to be interfering with the strip and the workers and the work itself. "Our burger will hold even without an egg," the approach is explained.

The same goes for the double and triple options, etc., which do not exist here because they take up grill space, and prevent efficient and fast service, and especially prevent a hot burger from landing on a hot customer's table.

"It's enough for two people to order a double patty, and the work gets complicated and damaged," he described.

Fun to hear it in a city that sanctifies a monstrous menu of toppings, skyscrapers over meatball duplexes, and as many floors as possible.

Even more fun to eat it.

The perfect bomb.

What went inside was good enough to go inside.

Everything else is still at work

Thus, Benz's menu is well-tightened but varied enough, and mostly implements a rare Tel Aviv concept - what went in was good enough to go in. Everything else is still at work (and yes, I'm talking about the Pride Chicken that is expected to land here in the near future).

We took a burger ("fresh meat in dry aging that only sees grill", with barbecue aioli, rocket, tomato and pickled pink onion, 45 shekels, 58 in a business lunch with topping and drink) with cheddar (6 shekels) and bacon (8), sloppy c. (Minced meat, barbecue, caramelized onions, rocket, tomato, pickled pink onion, NIS 40), as well as "vegetarian" ("chunks" of fried halloumi cheese, onion jam, rocket, tomato, pickled pink onion and garlic mayonnaise , 39 shekels).

Apart from them, we also ordered sweet potato-potato chips (NIS 18) with cheddar sauce (6) and crispy bacon bits (6) on top, and a portion of wings (chili-srircha-butter sauce and lemon zest, NIS 29 for -8 pieces).

Is this an excessive amount of harmful food?

Only if you do not write about food for your livelihood.

Animal-style.

"Sloppy and dirty, do not consume on a date", warns the menu rightly, although I can not think of sexier dates

The wings came first, well made and placed exactly on the soft and juicy spot of the chicken. The sauce - somewhat pungent, buttery and dirty - was great, marking the very high base of the place, with well-timed flavor bounces with each bite.

The burger itself was excellent, something like 200 grams of meat, tightly closed and squirts juices only when the teeth instruct it to do so. The stained cheese sauce on top of it provided the suspicions of corruption, and the piles of curled bacon pretty much closed the case for the city burger bureau.

The Sloppy Joe sandwich - a personal favorite that does not appear enough in the menus here - continued the momentum with excellent, smoked meat and dripping barbecue and caramelized onions. "Sloppy and dirty, do not consume on a date," warns the menu rightly, though I can not think of sexier dates.

The last perfect bomb was a vegetarian sandwich, a collection of words I never thought I would be able to write in that order.

Years of exhausted, sticky, pale dream sandwiches shattered in the air with the landing of Benz's cheesy creation.

They call it "chunks", but "chaaaaaaaunks" will make the job more accurate.

Think of the size of fish pieces from fish and chips, with a brown and crispy enough night just to get here, stacked in a soft bun, stretched and surrendered.

It's very easy to say something like "the best burger temple sandwich is vegetarian at all," but that's a provocation.

Instead you can just shut up and take another bite.

That the schnitzels will compete with each other

Pot, spoon, challah.

Who needs more?

This purposeful display was impressive, and its corners were hermetically sealed with the same animal-style chips, and with a collection of sauces and dips that once again demonstrated food-professionalism. There were spicy butter from mines, a classic dark and thick barbecue, slightly more delicate and elegant barbecue aioli and vigorous chili-mint aioli. Every hamburger needs a balcony, these also built him a yard to play on.

The urban legend already knows to tell that the Beziler brothers did not know that the new address is located exactly, give or take 3-4 degrees, opposite the shop window. They insist, and there is no real reason not to believe them.

There was also some thought of crossing the road, getting in and making an official acquaintance, including a smiling clarification that this was not a deliberate aggressive act. It has not happened yet, but you can already imagine it, maybe even with the addition of members from GDB, as the Tel Aviv Hamburger Summit, or in simpler words - three of the best burgers in the city closed for themselves a 200-meter Bermuda Triangle, and we just want Disappear into it.
