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.

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

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.

haha I think so. I've never been, it seems too annoying.

where I really need to go is Roberta's.

Let's not forget that Motorino in wmsbg sank into the ground.

yeah how the hell did that happen. it was good and they were always packed.

btw I'm off all next week, shd probly go get bacon donuts w/ ian

i really like roberta's, but i am a noted philistine

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.

god that nyc thin-crust, always sinking into the ground

never would have happened in chitown

haha whoops obviously I'm a step behind. I did hear it closed but not why.

never would have happened in chitown

Would fall into the Great Lakes there. Might have to send the Pequod after it.

robertas is cool but all the hype around it is p mysterious, idk I went there a few times when it fist opened *sniff*

robertas is cool but all the hype around it is p mysterious

Not really. It's in Brooklyn.

I
a) like the chicago style hot dogs at shake shack
b) don't "get" sliders either
c) prefer totonnos in coney island to di fara

does this make me a philistine

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

my standard for great food has always been "confers immortality" so

higgs boson otm. I suppose it would be unfair to change my handle to Higgs Boatswain.

man i read like this whole thread thinking about how i would weigh in on the burg debate and then i realized that i was under no obligation to contribute and it was like a weight had been lifted

max do you like shake shack

i made it clear above i believe shake shack is fantastic

would love to try the minetta burg too

also love in-n-out

five guys does a good burg too

underrated in-n-out style local burg chain: whattaburger

i dont get burgs that often these days tho

whattaburger is a texas chain iirc

sometimes i go to james on monday nights for their "burger night" $10 for a fancy burger and fries and a beer

ur thinking of good burger no

btw r there any good high end fast food style burgers in williamsburg

You know what I think is pretty good that I NEVER hear repped for is New York Burger Co.

blue 9 burger is dece iirc, early ny entrant into the elevated fast food landscape

oh maybe im thinking of goodburger

does fette sau do a burger? or that bar nearby that has good fried chicken and a nautical theme

kaz an nou in prospect heights/north slope does a sick fancy "caribbean" burger with a good spice rub and fried egg and mango or something

dont think fette sau has a burger, was thinking maybe this was the nautical place u were talking abt but no fried chicken http://thedrinkbrooklyn.com << nice place btw

no thats not it... its just this real divy place on metropolitan near the milk bar? shit what is it called? starts with an A? its real popular i cant believe i forgot the name

the comodore

never been there but ive heard people discuss their fried chicken at length, i has pies n thighs today btw

thats the one, the commodore! the commodore. good friend chicken, i bet they do a dece burger--if they do a burger

ny fapping should be done at the oyster bar saloon in my opinion

park ave armory slide show: http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2011/12/22/arts/20111222-ARMORY.html#1

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

then the bartender in the saloon gave us the gasface

why is it so fucking hot

gods gift to me
i ate at pearl oyster bar tonight and the chowda and crabcake combo is what that shit is about

New York Burger Co.

not to be slept on. although I always worry they will go out of business.
