P. J. Clarke's: A Pub That Doesn't Serve a Pub Burger
As I "inherited" the tradition of going to P.J Clarke's from my dad, I have to say that is one of the best burgers in my book. Every time in NY(from Sweden, not there that often) I have to go. Still, I wish that I had ordered something else than the home fries last time, a little bit to mushy, little or no onions and quite a bland dish as a whole.
But the simplicity of the burger and the quality of the meat really makes this worthwile.
(and thanks for a great blog)

Burger King Releases the Angry Whopper
This has been a huge hit in Sweden (was on the meny some time ago) and I got the opportunity to talk to one of the Product Developers from BK, he told me that this is the first burger to "go the other way" = first be introduced in the EMEA's and then go to the North American markets. But. as a twist - he got the idea from a swanky restaurant in NYC("davidburke & donnatella"?) who had a "angry lobster" on the menu - a lobster with jalapeños amongst other ingredients - and that triggered the angry whopper idea.
Still, it's a good burger, but I wouldn't call it angry, more "mildly annoyed".

What I want to know is: is it Lewis Black doing the Angry Whopper's voice on the Angry-grams?

Fast food is never spicy enough. Take Wendy's Spicy Chicken sandwich - a favorite of mine, the flavor is good, but they ran ads showing men with sweat pulsing down their faces to promote the sandwich, hardly. I could throw on several drops of haberno to really spice it up, otherwise it is very mild, I think a baby could eat it. If you don't need anything to cleanse your palette from the burn while you are eating, water, soda, fries, etc, it is not hot! I could eat a Spicy Chicken without a single pause.

They need to hire a better food stylist. That Angry Whopper looks like its made of styrofoam.

Why anger? Seems like a negative thing to promote. I'll pass, the BKs around the DC metro area serve dried out crap, I'm sure they'd dessicate this thing too.

I saw "Angry Whopper" on a BK marquee sign last week, and though it was a marketing stunt. i had no idea an "Angry Whopper" was a real menu item. was funny.
Can you imagine the next generation of "angry" whoppers? some possibilities:
guilty whopper
intelligent whopper
nerdy whopper
sleeping whopper
obsessive compulsive whopper

I got one on a hung-over New Years Day in LA, only to find out when I got home, they forgot the bacon. It made me angry. Now I know why they call it the Angry Whopper

I wish BK would spend a little more time on food quality and customer service, and less time on the creepy "King" and bizzare marketing (The "Whopper Virgins" commercials weren't bad, but we they didn't need to use other cultures to compare burgers, how about Americans comparing.).
A good Whopper can be really good, but I haven't had one in the last half dozen times I stopped at a BK over the years. I can't seem to get a freshly cooked patty. They're always cooking them to death and in advance and they'r dry as can be. I don't think I should have to ask for a "fresh" burger either. Unfortunately, I think BK has the worst customer service of any chain, and I'm talking about across the country. I'm sure there are some well run establishments somewhere, but I haven't found any.

I'd hit that -- w/o the onions!

That photo looks seriously unappetizing to me.

I had my wedding reception at the Sidecar (upstairs white tablecloth dining room) and the mini burgers were a crowd favorite - a zillion times better than those dry little meat/bun bombs served anywhere else, as they were just smaller versions of the juicy goodness served downstairs in the pub
i love this burger!

@Lippy: True. I think my bun was very mildly toasted. More like, it appeared to have been waved in the direction of a toaster.

PJ's burger is good, and would be better if they toasted the bun (which they will do, if asked.) But, as a poster above pointed out, Landmarc's is better, in more or less the same neighborhood on the mid West Side.

PJ's one of the best burgers in New York City, no doubt. It may even be the very best!
Of course, hipsters, loonies and gastronomic illiterates will keep flocking to overrated and overpriced burger joints like Pop Burger or the Madison Shack while ignoring the Clarke's.
Good for me! And good for them because that's all they like, paper-thin patties splashed with crap sauce and too much lettuce and tomato.
At PJ's, it's the real stuff.
