Rebecca Week 5 - BurgerFi

My BurgerFi obsession started as a joke. It’s not a joke anymore. My friends and I got lunch at the location near school, then read the awful yelp reviews, inspiring me to write this blog.
We went to the fast-food restaurant and ordered at the kiosks. The addition of kiosks in our local BurgerFi is a huge bonus; you don’t have to talk to the cashier, there’s no risk of misunderstanding, and you can easily see all the menu options. Thankfully, there was no line to make us suffer even though it was right around 12:30. It wasn’t empty, but the orders were managed well. There was less wait for our burgers than for Eva’s salad from next door.

The service was great, with one of the employees, Luis, helping Milo with his dairy allergy. He told us about the kitchen’s organization and explained that he would clean up the vegan area to make Milo’s burger. Additionally, the Beyond burger is a vegetarian, kosher alternative to other meat burgers. Their oreo milkshake is the best milkshake in existence, making the vegetarian burgers doubly significant. As a group with a surprising amount of dietary restrictions, BurgerFi is a great option.
Reading the reviews, we saw a lot of complaints about the wait time and staff members. Honestly, the wait time is a little excessive but not extremely terrible. The reviews sound more comical than truly angry. One person even started off with, “holy cheeseburgers, this place is bad.” I agree that there are other better BurgerFi locations, but this one isn’t terrible!

We got a taste for the reviews and had to keep reading. The writing style and grammatical/spelling mistakes people make when writing these reviews adds to the character. They range from either huge supporters of the restaurant and its chain to people revolted by its existence. I think I speak for my friends and I when I say, we are now supporters of this BurgerFi. Do you have any restaurants or stores you frequent?

    BurgerFi confounds me. I'm glad you went there. I was half convinced that it was a front for a mafia gang with the worst burgers.

    I loved reading through the BurgerFi comments, they were so funny! I agree that this location isn't as terrible as all the reviews make it seem. I am a regular at Ben's Deli, but I also work there and get a huge discount.

    This Burgerfi is terrible. I do NOT recommend it!!! The screens to order barely work and the staff are rude. My fries are always cold.

Joshua Grynbaum Week 5: DKJA Open House

Image
     Some of you may be wondering why I am submitting this blog a day late… Did I forget? Am I just irresponsible? The true reason is that last night I had the honor of attending the Donna Klein Jewish Academy Open House. The Open House was truly an eye-opening experience, where I got to introduce myself and the amazing clubs our Rosenblatt Highschool has. I volunteered as a tour guide and helped set up and lead many of the club stands that attended.      The two main stands I promoted were the Jewish Student Union Club (JSU) and the Business Program. I personally know the presidents of both clubs, which made it easier for me to introduce the clubs to the upcoming parents and students of Rosenblatt Highschool. The Business Club didn’t get much action due to it being in a separate room with all the “signature clubs”, but JSU was a whole different story. The presidents were playing Israeli music at their table, which caught the attention of many parents, and ...

Aaron Mibab 3: Hazamir

Image
Last year and this summer I had the privilege of participating in the Jewish teen choir named Hazamir. Hazamir is an international singing group, with its chapters primarily located in the United States and Israel. In order to participate in Hazamir, one must be able to sing but the ability to sight-read is not necessary. Its music and events have led me to a larger repertoire, increased understanding of music, and more friends. I am so excited to continue singing in Hazamir this year too! Despite Hazamir’s amazing offerings, the Boca Raton Chapter is too small and needs more numbers.  Hazamir has almost weekly meetings where participants practice and learn the provided music. These practices typically last 2 hours and are very casual and fun! Last year, I became very close to the other members of my chapter through the songs we learned. Additionally, during the break from learning, I would bond with the other participants with the occasional Ice-breaker and talking.  So...

Aaron Mibab 6: Recycling at Donna Klein

Image
     Ever since I was little, I remember my father taking out the recycling or doing activities relating to recycling. He would remove the tabs from coke cans and collect them; I remember he had a large bag or two where the metal tabs stayed. I also remember “helping” him take apart boxes so more could fit into the recycling bins. Recycling was important to him because it is taking care of the environment and world that his children will inherit. Due to his beliefs, I believe recycling is important to take care of the world that will one day be my responsibility.      Many of you reading this blog may think, “recycling at Donna Klein? Why would that be a topic? I have seen recycling bins in the school.” Well due to my participation in the Green club, I was informed that Donna Klein does not actually recycle.       Donna Klein is also proud of its earned certification as a FranklinCovey Leader In Me Lighthous...
