you throw in some toppings, maybe a thick slice of tomato, you gotta be some kind of deep sea jaw fish to eat it

That's not generally how the foie gras production process would be described.
― C.K. Dexter Holland, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 19:13 (twelve years ago) link
i think the prime meats burger is $18 or so, i've never tried one, but thought about buying a pre-made patty from their store for $6 the other day.
if i'm going to pay $18 for an entree it is not going to be a burger - though i've paid ~$12 for the burger at henry public which was worth it.

the birds have to be treated inhumanely, strapped down and force-fed huge amounts of food.
is this really that much different than how cows, chickens, and pigs are treated in factory farms

I elected this burger for lunch and it's not as good as everybody said it was. In fact, it's worse than those burgers everybody here hates!

If you don't understand gastro theory then I guess you would be the kind of person who likes shake shack.

Trying to remember if I've had the Black Label burger ($26) at Minetta. Think I might have gone for the cheaper one ($17) or a steak or something.
Anyway, Dumont (the restaurant) used to and may still make my favorite burger ($14, 16 with cheese), but I think it's slipped a bit. I also like Zuni's burger ($15).
My bog-standard burger, has inflated to $10 (plus delivery) once I add grilled onions and seven grain.
― C.K. Dexter Holland, Wednesday, 21 December 2011 19:34 (twelve years ago) link
Dumont is good. Been to Minetta once but when you can get a $30 steak it seems weird to get a $26 burger. If I ever went back I'd probably get it.
lmao
hey we could talk pizza. DiFara's closed! Grimaldi's moving! improperly grandfathered-in coal-fired oven licenses!

"very basic musical theory" doesn't "make[]" the album "sound bad" to me, it just helps describes why it doesn't sound good.

xpost: No, I mean it literally sank into the ground. They had to close it due to structural problems with the foundation.

I noticed another fancypants pub opened in the space that was closed-down-phoebe's for a while though. There are so many fancypants pubs in that area now and still not enough good places to eat.

Ia) like the chicago style hot dogs at shake shackb) don't "get" sliders eitherc) prefer totonnos in coney island to di fara
does this make me a philistine
― higgs boson (the deli llama), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:12 (twelve years ago) link
i think totonnos must be what di fara was before the foodies discovered it - fairly sleepy mom & pop place

honestly di fara was pretty filthy the times I've been - health inspectors OTM
