Well-Made Burger?



The new restaurant’s signature dish in the busy area of Samseong-dong in southern Seoul is a ``well-made'' hamburger. The term ``well-made'' implies ``well-built'' or ``well put together'' and is often used as a reference to anything newly constructed.

In this instance, it seems a little out of place. The idea is right in that the restaurant prepares all the ``fixings'' for the perfect burger, but the meaning is no less than comical. The end result has more to do with flavor and taste rather than construction or design.
