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.

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
that's what generates heat in the cultural capital of America these days, burgers.
hey we could talk pizza. DiFara's closed! Grimaldi's moving! improperly grandfathered-in coal-fired oven licenses!

Guys I was parodying this post from OK Computer thread, OK
"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.

pizza needs a good 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
― higgs boson (the deli llama), Wednesday, 21 December 2011 21:22 (twelve years ago) link
honestly di fara was pretty filthy the times I've been - health inspectors OTM

I'm an oyster bar fan generally but the staff has been v rude the last couple times I was there and I'm not usually someone who gets uppity about that
like my wife went there first and was trying to save us a spot until I got there to meet her, she sat down at an open seat at the oyster counter (that had several people eating at it) and the server pulled out a little placard sign that said "counter closed" and just sat it down in front of her and walked away, didn't even say shit. that's lame
