Straight forward burgers, crab rolls and Bassets milk shakers are done well at Frog Burger but there is one item on the menu by which Steve Poses’ burger stand will be measured.
he Love Burger, a sandwich that should be on the American Heart Association’s version of the FBI’s Most Wanted list, or at least in an entry on the blog This Is Why You’re Fat. Its 5-ounce patty would seem moderate if it weren’t dwarfed by the two grilled-cheese sandwiches that serve as buns.
The first bite is a bit like how I imagine the stages of death: You fight off your fear, give in, then are likely to find yourself won over by its warm, comforting embrace. And while the four distinct layers of texture may be odd at first—a palindrome of butter-crisp toast, molten American cheese, inner sandwich slightly soggy from the meat’s juices and bacon-emboldened Russian dressing, and the animal chew of beef—it ultimately won me over with sheer force of personality and fatty exuberance.

Since Steve Poses has opened his Frog Burger stand in front of the Franklin Institute he’s gotten his fair of electronic ink, both positive and negative. Here are some of the highlights:
Grilled to a perfect center-pink medium — was juicy and flavorful, the kind of burger that soaks the bun (in this case, the grilled cheese) in meaty, drippy goodness. The burgers are so juicy that the Frog Burger offers bibs to customers.”
-Â Restaurant Club
Perhaps the most exciting part about this stand is that they sell slices of their famous carrot cake, as well as the appropriately-named Killer Cake, which is one of the original, and best, chocolate-overload desserts. They’ll also mix either of those cakes into a milkshake
-Â Philadining
Seemingly, we now live in an era of throwing ideas at the wall and using the power of prayer–or the more secular, buzz–to make them stick.
- Fidel Gastro
The LOVE Burger has already stolen my heart, and I expect to eat more than a few this summer. (With a buddy, though — it is 3 sandwiches in one, people.)
