Lady Gaga Gives The Regent Taipei's 8 Restaurants A Run For Their Money

Where: 41 Chung Shan North Road, Taipei, Taiwan

Let them eat burgers

It must have been a difficult request for the hotel to accommodate. On Friday afternoon, hundreds of fans waited outside the Regent Taipei for the arrival of their queen, Lady Gaga. And though the Turquoise-Haired One managed to enter the hotel unseen, she made it clear that her commitment to her fans is as strong as ever.

Hours after she arrived, hotel staffers were instructed to deliver 100 burger-and-fries combos to the crowd waiting downstairs. Not every hotel is equipped with their own hidden hotel burger shop, so we're guessing some bellhops had to dash to a local fast food chain. But it sure beat Lady Gaga having to maneuver around the hotel in those mile-high platforms!

Where: 550 S. Flower St. [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States, 90071

If you carnivores out there crave a meaty meal, but want something different from the usual Kobe burger, sink your teeth into a bear burger instead at the Standard Downtown LA.

New chef Micah Fields will offer a new exotic patty each week as part of 24/7 Restaurant's new "Burger of the Week" special. Starting today, it will serve up Yogi. Or, more accurately, Smokey, since it's called the "Smokey the Bear Burger."

Speaking of Beijing, 25 Degrees Burger Bar Opens in Hotel G

A 25 Degree burger.

If you didn't already know, HotelChatter has a thang for hotel burgers. And oh how we wish we were headed to Beijing for the Olympics. 'Cuz if we were we would have to stay at the new designer hotel, Hotel G, which just opened a 25 Degrees Burger Bar inside.

25 Degrees is already one of our fave hotel burger shops in the U.S. as it's part of the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. And it sounds like Hotel G will have the exact same look:

Leading directly off the hotel lobby, the striking venue is playfully designed in the same quirky style as its upscale namesake at the iconic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, renowned amongst Tinseltown's smart set for the `best burgers in Los Angeles'. Plush designer interiors feature a long red, Murano glass-tiled bar, oversized leather winged-chairs, Tom Dixon-designed copper lighting, a silver gypsum ceiling and red floral print on satin wallpaper.

What is new is the creation of some Asian sauces like Hainan black pepper, Kung Pao spicy and sesame ginger which will be implemented both in Beijing and LA.

The Hotel G just opened last month and is considered the hotel for hip travelers. Room rates start at around $150 a night.
