im late on this but for posterity's sake if you find yourself in manhattan wanting a giant, no bells n whistles, melt in your mouth half pound of DANKNESS (affordable too) get to pauls burgers on 2 ave just south of st marks. prolly said it a million times already but it is the fucking jam

[davichan]

^ i can def agree Dino,

pauls burgers is super great!! don't miss a classic late night staple downtown.

[wild style]

I like Paul's, but they gotta step up their bun game.

nice blog.

I had this burger about two years ago. I wasn't a fan of the Roquefort cheese so it ruined it for me.

Black label burger from minetta tavern is good but its expensive. Anyway, I had five guys burger for the first time today inside a mall in pa.

[dino might]

Minetta is a cool place and yeah their burger is good but I wouldn't rate it any higher than pauls' burgers (or even five guys for that matter) that cost at least half as much

[billy.]

damn i look gay in that picture.

miss dark animal.

[davichan]

I am also a huge fan of:

Burger Joint

(at Le Parker Meridien Hotel)

118 W 57th St. (b/w 6th & 7th Ave.)

Try Dos Toros if you haven't already.

[american_hearts]

Not sure what type of Mexican you're looking for, but the cheap, good stuff is at Zaragoza.

This is a ridiculous claim, even putting aside personal preference.

The Black Label uses dry-aged ribeye, skirt and brisket and gets its own bun from Balthazar. Paul's is a wet meat glob of indeterminate origin on an English muffin. I'm not even including 5 guys in this. That shit is awful.

[Icarus]

The latter sounds like a burger, the former does not.

[wild style]

Sounds like some pussy ass hamburger.

[american_hearts]

Sigh. It's just a different category, shouldn't be ranked on the same level, apples/oranges, etc etc.

dude you're insane if you think Paul's steamed walmart meat burgers can compete with Minetta.

[dino might]

They ain't steamed for one and def not walmart for two so have fun blowin 16 extra bucks!

I'm not about to get all Sufu bourgeois mindset about my food, especially not burgers... Pauls tastes fucking dank and anyone who says otherwise is either lying to himself or full of it. But I can't say I'm all too surprised at the backlash after all.

Just ask yourself what you'd rather spend 30 dollars on, a burger or a filet?

[DaBestSpoona]

If putting a metal bowl on top of the burger with a squirt of water doesnt qualify as steaming I dont know what is.

[dino might]

^alright I'll give you that, I misunderstood, thought you were calling them white castle burgers or something along those lines

[DaBestSpoona]

I just like my burgers more charred, but not saying I wont eat at Paul's. I'll eat any burger cept Corner Bistro. I saw them take cold pre cooked burgers and reheat them the last 2 times I was there.

[dino might]

^wow that's disappointment..

[davichan]

yeah..

fuck Corner Bistro..

i used to like them a few years ago.

they have become such a disappointment...

[wild style]

Yo burger meetup.

[american_hearts]

I'm not about to get all Sufu bourgeois mindset about my food, especially not burgers.

Dude no one else is either. I'm just saying burger-to-burger comparison you have to be real. If I have 10 bucks in my pocket, yeah I'll gladly eat Paul's or something like it.

Most burgers, I wouldn't pay more than 12 bucks at a sitdown placet, and definitely not more than 7-8 at a fast food joint. The Minetta burger is in another class. Even if I can only justify eating a burger that expensive once a year, you bet I'm enjoying the fuck out of it that one time.

[wild style]

Damn, forgot all about burger Mondays at RUB. Anybody down for that?

[davichan]

fuck it,

i have to try this overpriced burger to have an opinion..

my friend just got us a res at Minetta tonight..!

will def chime back in thoughts after meal..

[DaBestSpoona]

the pat la frieda fresh direct patties are pretty damn good too. But they smoke your apartment up and set off fire alarms when you cook them indoors even with an exhaust.

[american_hearts]

pro tip for at-home burgers -- get your ground beef from the Japanese butcher shop on Great Jones. Their steaks are pricey, but the ground beef is normally 3.99/4.99 per lb. and worth its weight in gold.

[davichan]

yup

2nd that solid info..

i also get most of our meet from the Japanese butcher shop on Great Jones,

def pricy shit, but ohhhhhhhh so worth it!
