Ad Haetzem Express: Tel Aviv

The fast food burger has revolutionized the way the world eats. We always know that there will be a McDonalds somewhere we travel and can count on to be decent at best, but fast. I tend to stay away from the golden arches because quite frankly, I abhor McDonalds. It lacks quality and taste. Fast food doesnt have to be made cheap and cooked in a microwave. Lucky for many of us that live in Tel Aviv we have Ad Haetzem Express. Ad Haetzem Express is an Israeli fast food restaurant that is a definite upgrade from McDonalds or other burger chains. They specialize in freshly made burgers, shoe-string fries, onion rings, chicken tenders and fountain sodas. The burgers are cooked right in front of you on a large griddle. You can either get a single, double, or triple. Toppings include the usual lettuce, tomato, red onion, and mayonnaise. Of course you can add ketchup and mustard if you please. Additional toppings include cheese, fried onions, lamb bacon, or a fried egg. Meals range from 45 shekels for the single, 52 for the double, and 60 for the triple. Prices are reasonable which is also a good sign. The burger itself is nothing special, but is perfect for when you have had a few too many drinks and need a good munch to bring you back to life. It is the best fast food style burger though I have had here in Tel Aviv that is for sure. With three locations throughout the city, you are not far from satisfying your hunger.
