Read MoreEveryone loves a good hamburger. I mean how could you not? They are convenient, customizable, and not to mention very tasty! The only thing that can make them better though is when they are served from a snazzy restaurant like this one by Andrea Lattanzio. The beautiful vintage architecture and the millions of details are enough to make me forget my deep craving for a juicy burger for just a moment. Mmmmmm, hamburgers…
This fun little interior by builder nexcidia looks like a good time. Ambiance is incredibly important in an eating establishment. And while there's a recent trend away from "wall clutter", I always appreciate a good themed room. Besides, I'm way past due for a good steak and lobster dinner (but presently sick so I won't be doing that for a while). Speaking of lobster, I don't see any. Then again, I don't see Batman either, coincidence?
If you knew what was going on in the kitchens at a great many restaurants you simply wouldn't eat there. In fact, you probably wouldn't set foot in the door. Luckily they are the exception (I keep telling myself that, I want to believe) but builder MinifigNick has a MOC of one of the places you don't want to be, before and after the arrival of the health inspector. I think I'll cook at home tonight.
Yes, I've said it before and I'll say it again, I don't like sushi. So now you're saying "you've just never had good sushi'. I'll just stop you right there. I've fallen for that three times, and on all three occasions the person that persuaded me to fall for it again confirmed that we were indeed eating good sushi. So it is confirmed, I don't like sushi. I do however dig a really cool LEGO interior, so check out this insanely detailed sushi restaurant by Denil. Now if someone would come up with a restaurant that has other food come out on those nifty conveyors I'd happily try it.
They just don't build them like this any more, and it's a shame. Art Deco is just so appealing and irresistible, how could you not want to stop here for a patty melt or malt? This just isn't a slick exterior though, check out that awesome interior. Now I'm hungry, do you suppose they serve chicken fried steak?

August is here with a fresh selection of LEGO contests and challenges. Don’t miss your chance to build a MOC and maybe even win some awesome LEGO prizes. With Frogust, Paradisa, and even some stop-motion in the mix, there’s plenty of inspiration to start building!
Sometimes the best LEGO projects solve problems nobody actually has. Follow the design of the Kong-o-Matic 2000, a motorized machine that plays LEGO Donkey Kong so you don’t have to!
Now you can build your own iconic upscaled LEGO tree! Instructions are available right here on BrickNerd and in BrickJournal’s most recent issue.
