Downtowner is said to have invented the standing burger based on the
philosophy that a burger should be held and eaten with both hands. As

The Famous Burger, located around Hongdae and Hapjeong, is a
recently popular handmade burger restaurant. It is also famous for
the handmade burger restaurant run by Mr. Loco, a rapper who is
currently performing his national defense duties. I went to see it

handmade burgers.

the entrance and sit down. Following the guidance of the hip-hop
style staff, I was able to conveniently place my order and sit down.

Brooklyn Burger Joint.
