Serious Eats: Ubereater's Profile

I strongly disagree with the inclusion of BLT Burger. I do agree that they are overstacked, but further, I can't say they are at all tasty or enjoyable to eat. They are forgettable.

I would like to highlight Zaitzeff - whose busty, super-juicy patties on a buttery Portuguese muffin runs serious (or onion rings) around BLT any day.

I also cannot stand Molly's - they're too big, and too tasteless - I actually wrote about this not too long ago:

All in all a solid list, but Veselka, BLT and Molly's gotta go...

Best bagels in West Village?

Hudson Bagels are solid, and give Murray's a run for their money, but overall, there are no bagels in the West Village.

Best Bagels in the Northeast-- Sam's (formerly Stein's) in West Caldwell, NJ. Hands Down.

New Jersey Dispatch: White House Subs in Atlantic City

As a North Jersey native, and tried and true Jersey Boy, I love White House and everything it represents with respect to NJ.

Max's in Long Branch garners the same cult following, only with hot dogs of course.....

In terms of subs on the northern end of the Shore, Curtis' Central Market in Bay Head is pretty awesome...

Josh Ozersky on 'Nightline': 'Fancy Burgers Are Cheaper Than Pizza'

I agree with Josh in this instance. Pizza in NY has quietly and stealthily creeped its way out of the "cheap and satisfying" realm, to rather boldly nudge itself into the world of "kind of expensive and often disappointing (if you're not paying attention" world. I'm not saying there isn't great pie to be had in the city, and with true value involved at that, but generally speaking, a large pie at the city's most respectable pizzeria's is going run you at least $20 bucks.

So all that being said, a $10.95 burger that leaves you filled, smiling, and ready to relax packs far more value than 8 slices of a garlic pie that you ate with your eyes closed.

And with THAT said, I need to get to City Burgers stat to check it out.

Also, I was recently reminded of this pizza predicament last weekend when I got a sausage pie at Luzzo's in the East Village. We had a large pie, and a salad to split, and it was $40 bucks. No drinks, no nothing.

Would You Send Back an Overcooked Burger?

You'd have to be an idiot not to send it back.

I never understood people who felt "bad" about sending it back. You ordered rare, you got medium, send it back.

In Videos: How Are Hot Dogs Made? Find Out (If You Dare)

I agree about the comments regarding the natural casings. The snap of the external casing, that gives way to juicy salty, meaty goodness is rivaled by no other. It really is out of this world.

Rutt's Hut in Clifton, NJ is one of my favorite spots for "rippers". I grew up eating them and they are nice and crunchy. Max's in Long Branch is probably THE best dog you can get your hands on. The snap on those babies is just too good to be true. But it is true.

No worries. My apologies for being so jumpy. I can't seem to shake my overprotection of my beloved Jersey Shore!

Getting Over My Fear of Little Italy at Alleva Dairy

Go Easy on the Jersey Shore there eh?

Moving past that insult, Alleva has great stuff - the mozzy is amazing, perfectly salted, and as good as any I've had in the city.

Good call!

Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, a New Classic?

I was fortunate enough to checked out Delicatessen on opening night (especially the Cheeseburger Spring Rolls), and I've certainly enjoyed the constant chatter about these greasy little bites the ensuing months.

Here's my review. Can't agree more with Bruni on the Fried Chicken...

Eating in Savannah?

Definitely Check out Angel's BBQ. It's on a quiet sidestreet behind a Church. The array of hot sauces is dizzying, and the food is outstanding. You'll love it!

Also, Clary's Cafe is another Savannah mainstay that serves up wonderful biscuits and salami and eggs. A must go.

Serious Eats City Guide: Chicago

Great list. I totally agree with Johnny's Beef as the best Italian Beef. I lived in Chicago for a few years and had my fair share of it all. Spoon Thai is solid. Moody's Pub at Thorndale and Broadway makes an awesome burger, and Piece on North Ave (@ Damen) makes the best pie a east coaster like me could find while I was out there.

Now back in NYC, I just went back to Chi for the 1st time in more than a year...
Here's how I felt about hitting some old favorite spots...
