This bomb of a burger is a disaster.
Artherosclerotically, aesthetically and budget-wise.
Once you start calling a massive pound of ground beef a “burger” you’re venturing into uncharted territory.
I’ve had the massive hot dog there, and it should really be labeled “kielbasa” or “no-ring ring bologna.”
Sumo Burger at Fat Nick’s on 77th and Broadway is just as big, but no frizzled onions, tho you can get the rest.
Island Burger at 54th and Ninth is a better bet.
No fries, sides or whatever, but it’s an actual hamburger.

I had the pleasure of joining the nyc food guy at the brooklyn diner this afternoon for my first experience with this warlock of a burger. I consider myself somewhat of a food snob, not that i don’t enjoy all food just a fine dining fan, I was thoroughly impressed by this burger. I had mine medium rare, it was more on the medium side but still plenty juicy. The bacon was delicious and I really enjoyed the burger.

[...] As delicious as Italian food is, I rarely crave it, letting pizza and some of NYC’s more heart-stopping offerings fill the void. Frankie’s Spuntino 17 Clinton Street on the LES, has been on my [...]

AK-

I love it. What goes around finally comes around. Sweet, sweet justice.

It was my pleasure introducing the creator of A Hamburger Today to another awesome burger. I’m pumped to continue the hunt for an even better burger.

Let me know when you’re ready for round 2 at BK Diner. Maybe we try the 42nd street location next?

[...] Not in NYC Food Guy’s humble opinion. It was char broiled and damn tasty, but we have to remember, Veselka is merely a diner, and they delivered on just that, a standard yet delicious diner burger. If I had to eat one last burger in Manhattan, I’d still go with Brooklyn Diner. [...]

Well, to be perfectly honest, I’ve just begun my “Tour De Food” in NYC. I’ve lived here all my life and have never gone out there to try the best of the best. I’ve always said things like “I know this burger is decent but don’t have a “best” to compare it to.”

So I’ve been to recently around where I work: Good Burger, Burger Joint, Five Guys, The Blarney Stone, Prime Burger. They all bring their own to the table but I’ve gone back to the Burger Joint and Five Guys a few times. So undecided on the “best” but those are the best thus far.

I’m looking to spread out from there if I know the prospects are great. That’s why I’m enjoying your site. Thanks!!!
