Serious Eats: bhager's Profile

I had no idea that there were cuts other than Porterhouse. See that? I read AHT everyday and I learn something by coming here. Here is my chance to pay it forwardl.

The right way to order at Luger's is as follows;

Cocktails
A couple of slices of bacon
Tomato and Onion's
Shrimp Cocktail (split it between friends)
More Cocktails
Steak for Two (1 per every 2 people)
German Potatoes
Creamed Spinach
After Dinner Cocktail (Grand Marnier is a good choice)
Chocolate Mousse Cake with Extra SCHLAGGGGG (Pour it on waiter!)
Coffee
A nice walk

Good times! Good times!

P.S. I don't care what your friend told you, there is no difference between the food at Brooklyn and Great Neck. Go to whichever one you like better.

Top 10 Grilled Burgers in NYC?

I don't know it they are griddled or grilled, but Pipers Kilt up in Inwood (one of three locations) has my gold standard for pub burgers. I just cant believe they haven't been written up here yet?

I don't know if they are grilled or griddled, but Pipers' Kilt in Inwood has by gold standardurger I have ever had.

And PFY PJ Clark's burgers are definately griddled, cause while I was eating oysters with my Guiness last week I peeked in the kitchen and saw a bunch of burgers lined-up and staying warm on the griddle. I just hope they don't sit there too long. 5 guys are griddled too.

Top 10 Grilled Burgers in NYC?

I have hesitated for a very long time to mention my favorite burger in the city, but finally i realize, why not share the love? The burger at Cafe Loup on 13th street is phenomenal. It's huge, fantastic meat quality, and perfectly cooked. It's a classic burger, no fancy shit: subtle spice (just salt, I reckon); nothing but bloody, juicy meaty goodness. (And chedder if you're into that sort of thing.) Absolutely delicious. It is arguably "better" than all of these burgers, with the exception of Spotted Pig's. I mean, that's just the no-competition antichrist of burgers.

Thanks, Nick - It's about time Wollensky's Grill got involved in the top tier. It was always pretty good meat, but when they re-worked it a year or two ago it skyrocketed up on my list. The true test of a top burger is one that needs no ketchup - and, though I love ketchup, it would take away from WG's superior product.
