  • 5. Soul Burger

    $$ | District 1

    This hidden gem, run by Chicagoan Gabe Boyer, a runner-up in the second series of Next Iron Chef Vietnam, serves gourmet burgers named after the greats of America's soul scene, such as the James Brown (200-gram house-ground U.S. beef glazed with sweet and spicy brown sugar barbecue sauce, topped with pulled smoked pork shoulder, cheddar cheese, crisp beer-battered onion rings, and a creamy coleslaw). Order a side of truffle garlic fries and wash it all down with one of the many international beers on the menu.
