In the ongoing battle to acquire the title of Best Burger in San Antonio, it's nice to know that even so-called underdogs can be legitimate contenders. When The Lord's Kitchen opened for business in 1994, its owners had but $300 to invest in the start-up venture. Its off-the-beaten-path location underneath the New Braunfels Street overpass didn't seem like an ideal place to attract customers, either. Whether you credit divine intervention or simple business savvy for the subsequent success of this Eastside burger joint, one thing is clear: Burger blessings abound at the Lord's Kitchen. For example, there's the basic one-pound Lord's Burger that can be topped with ingredients like chile, bacon, cheese, jalapenos, etc. Next in rank is the one-and-a-half-pound Get Down Burger. Finally, for those who sense angioplasty in their immediate future, there's the dangerously-close-to-heart-stopping Hurt You Burger -- a whopping two pounds of beef. If by chance you can finish off this burger, your photograph will be taken and mounted on the Hurt You Burger Wall of Fame. Don't worry though. If your burger appetite is more on the wimpy side, there are modest servings like the quarter-pound burger available.
