Hey Northwood community! This is Parker Thompson ’26, and I’m excited to welcome you to episode two of a new series where my good friend, classmate, and teammate, Cody Betsch ‘26, and I review all of the burgers in the town of Lake Placid. We’re here to give you all completely honest reviews of Lake Placid’s burgers on a scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the best thing we have ever tasted and 1 being absolute garbage.
For this week’s review, we are staying right on campus, and we are trying the one and only Northwood School’s dining hall burger, a place where you can enjoy a nice, filling meal between classes or when you are winding down on your busy day at school. Thankfully, this burger comes at no cost (other than the tuition our parents pay), and before everyone flames me: yes, I do like my burgers plain without cheese.
The burger itself was pretty good. It was cooked well and had some juice to it. The fries were also very good and were crunchy, which is something I always like about my burger. I would say that, for me, the only downside was the bun. I know the kitchen staff are busy with getting everyone their food quickly and may not have time to toast every single bun, but I feel this is what detracts from the burger. However, I will give this rating a 7.2 out of 10, which is a reasonably good rating for Northwood. Cody gave it a 7.5 out of 10 and said, “I think the burgers here at Northwood are very tasty, and I feel they are not far off from a burger you would get at a restaurant in town. I really like the taste, and it is always very filling.”
Thank you once again for checking in on our burger review series. We look forward to our next one. Thank you for reading. See you next time.
