The Burger ($23) has a very thick patty made of several ingredients - the blended beef & pork meat also had hints of veggies within it; the texture was pretty grainy and a bit dry, while the flavor was slightly salty. This was well complimented by the egg and thick bun, which helped curb out the taste. The grilled onions were large and soft, but the flavor was easy to miss (same for the cheese). The shoestring fries were very nice and crispy. A cool place with a good, but not great, burger.

I had Huber's Beef Burger ($15.50) which is on the small side. The beef patty was nicely cooked with good texture, decent juiciness, and a nice beefy taste; a touch salty and chewy though I liked that aspect. The cheese was rather faint while the soft onions added good flavor to compliment the saltiness. There wasn't any bacon at first but they brought some after I brought it up; it didn't add much anyways. The fries were kinda crispy while the salad was nice & fresh. Overall good but not great.

Glints is super cool and easy to use, and I was able to get some applicants and an intern for my startup. It did take a few weeks though - there are lots of internship postings (over 1,000 right now!) from many cool companies so you'll need to figure out how to stand out from the rest and attract people to apply.
I'd suggest using a really cool photo and talking up your company + the role in the first sentence to attract people quickly.

I went to the Facebook group looking to get referrals to interns, but ended up meeting someone who became my co-founder. Am really glad I didn't corner myself into an 'internship/jobs' site since I got so much more out of the process. Plus, I got a bunch of cool feedback and potential partnerships as a result of letting people know about what I'm doing.
Hint: post here even if you're not looking for interns, you never know what you'll get!

I used StartUpJobs and it is just like any other job portal but specific for startups. They have a dedicated Internship tab which we could list on. We got a few internship applications through them and ended up getting 2 pretty good interns. Definitely a cool platform, but at the end of the day make sure you do your part in interviewing them and setting their expectations properly!

What better place to look for talent than within our own community! I searched HubPortal and found a few developers that were interested in helping out other startups, and guess what - 2 of them were no more than a few seats away! We were able to catch up and start working immediately.

I went to a few events which were really cool and met a lot of awesome people. However most of them had specific themes or purposes and I didn't find many programmers that were looking for jobs. Nevertheless, it was great for networking and getting to know the various industries better!

I spent a few hours trying to make (seemingly) simple tweaks to my Wordpress blog template and decided to try out Fiverr. The ratings & reviews were really useful to choose freelancers, and I got a response within an hour! The guy was really skilled and fast and I had the option paying an extra $5 to get it done within 24 hours (instead of 3 days). So $10 total to fix everything I wanted within the same day - a really good deal!

I had the Epicurious Burger ($20) whose homemade patty was almost like bolognese, both in the soft and crumbly texture as well as in taste. The bun was nice and went well with the patty, while the greens, sauteed onions, and mushrooms offered fresh yet subtle complimentary flavors. Overall the bolognese taste was quite central to the burger, which was quite refreshing and not too heavy as a whole. The side of shoestring fries was ok, with some crispy others others a bit stale.

I had The General burger ($25) which had a thick, dense bun with a very tasty buttery flavor. The patty was thick with great texture and doneness, though the flavor deferred to the toppings. The cheese was quite strong in taste and salty alongside the bacon - something I really enjoyed (I like my food salty). The caramelized onions were good but not strong enough to overcome the saltiness. The tangy sauce on the side offered a unique twist and the fries were crispy & very good! Loved the meal :)

I had the Char-Grilled Satay Burger ($6.90) which certainly lived up to its name. The soy patty was thin with a nice texture which felt a lot like meat. There was good flavor from the nutty satay sauce which gave a kick of spice alongside the onions. The veggies and cucumber rounded out the taste while the bun was quite dense, creating a nice balance.
I'm a hardcore meat lover but I'll admit I definitely enjoyed this a lot more than expected. A refreshing change, especially if you like satay!

I love this site and use it daily via the Daily Digest discussion summaries. The entire community is composed of founders and entrepreneurs, many of whom are facing / have faced the same issues and decisions that we come across. Lots of great ideas and conversations around an endless amount of high level as well as very specific topics relevant to the startup scene.
Sign up for their daily digest and read the discussions you're interested in - you'll get a lot of useful insights.

This is a great tool for people to create mock-ups really quickly and easily using a simple drag-n-drop UI and common website/app elements to choose from. It is quite versatile and powerful - much better and faster than mocking up in PowerPoint or diving straight into code.
I think Balsamiq is particularly powerful for non-coders to translate their ideas into a tangible wireframe and concept.

I haven't read the book but I watched the YouTube interview with London Real and found it to be very useful. I especially love the parts about the 'crocodile brain' and how to structure information to be interesting, as well as the advice to start with a narrative around the proposition before continuing on to the problem and then solution.
Highly recommended for anyone that may need to pitch/sell or even explain anything.

I really enjoy listening to these hour-long lectures by experienced entrepreneurs and investors and the lessons they have learnt; they're perfect for my daily commute to work! Lots of unique stories and perspectives to glean from.
Of course, some speakers are more relevant to you than others, so just pick and choose based on the name, title, and/or company if you don't want to listen to them all.

This was my first podcast and still the best series thus far. Getting a real insiders look into the conversations, issues, and decisions founders face was very useful as well as comforting (many of us face similar dilemmas). I loved that they didn't shy away from or hide the very intimate details - the equity discussion in particular is a huge example of something everyone wants to know about but no one shares.

Google Analytics is AMAZING! It is the only tab that has a dedicated portion of my screen 24/7. Real time analysis of active users and what pages they're on, historical data on viewership and metrics, analytics of where your users are coming from (e.g. Facebook, Google search, a forum link), and a bunch of other uber helpful things I probably haven't even discovered yet.
If you have a website then you 100% must have Google Analytics set up for it.

Xixi and I both love the Xiao Long Xia (spicy crayfish) here ($26 for a small plate, $35+ or so for large). The flavor is awesome and the meat is good.
Also very fun cause you eat with your hands with see through gloves. I recommend doubling up with 2 gloves on each hand cause they may tear through one layer.

The Hamburger ($13) may not be 'gourmet' but is definitely delicious! The patty is large with good texture, not really tender nor juicy (a bit charred / dry at the edges) but still very good. The caramelized onions alongside the bacon & BBQ sauce made for a fantastic savoury taste, while the greens & mayo added a lighter flavor. The bun is a tad dense but went well with the other strong tastes, and they were VERY generous with the sides. A very solid burger and likely the best value I've seen.

I went for the Midtown Burger ($19.50) which had one of the thickest patties I've ever seen. The texture was quite delicate, falling apart in your mouth, and had more of a watery moistness than juiciness. There was a slight charcoal grill aftertaste which went well with the subtle flavors of the cheese, caramelized onions, and veggies. The bun was quite normal while the fries were unique - half soft, half crispy, and super tasty! A good burger & meal, but adding bacon would make it much better.
