Triple much better. It's true! Or a double on the 'kid's bun' (at least that's what Sam calls it...). I'm still a fan of the kaiser roll because that's a big part of the Billy Goat experience. Just man-up and get the triple.

I saw Sam today and will be there again on Sunday nite. I was with a producer from the film fest who had never been there before and she told me, "I want to be drinking at that bar, now." It was 11:45am.

No Bearnaise Burger? WTF?? Someone over there has lost their mind. That was one of the best burgers in NYC.

Absolutely fascinating. Thanks for this Kenji.

Pretty map, but did you notice that almost 100 of them are Blake's Lotaburger?

Ugh, ketchup. have you people learned anything?

What a loss. Another primary source for the Great American Hamburger is gone.

Whew. Glad that was a joke. I thought the Brit had lost his marbles...

Huge mistake skipping the Solly's Butter Burger with stewed onions! Glad you made it to Kopp's though.

The bun-to-beef ratio looks waaaay off. That's alota bun...

Road Trip

Adam- Sir Mix-A-Lot is mentioned in the book but removed from this 'abridged' version, Here's the line from the book:

"Even Sir Mix-A-Lot, Grammy Award winner and Seattle native, immortalized the Broadway location in his first hit song. In the lyrics, his posse skips Taco Bell for Dick's. The truth is, if there were more places like Dick's, serving wholesome fast food, we'd all be skipping Taco Bell."

Any bozo that puts Fuddruckers on a best-of list should have their head checked.

I love that Josh yelled at him (at the end). Let's go to Hildebrandt's.
