Where can I find a "fat sandwich" in Manhattan?
As a loyal Scarlet Knight who's lived in NYC for the past 7 years, I can say with certainty that the fat sandwiches are unique to the Rutgers New Brunswick campus....I haven't found any place that makes them here, and yet they're unparalleled in terms of late night drunk food. The grease trucks on College Avenue sell them, but they can also be found at any one of a number of pizza joints on nearby Easton Avenue (RU Hungry...quality).
My personal fave was always the Fat Knight, which I recall being cheesesteak, mozz. sticks, french fries, and chicken fingers with ketchup and lettuce on a grinder roll.
Then I recall celebrating the completion of my senior thesis with a 6 pack and a Fat Elvis....essentially a gyro with french fries and mozz sticks.
The Fat Cat is the standard....double cheeseburger w/ fries on a grinder roll.
Such memories!

Just tried this place for the first time and was actually pleasantly surprised. Burger was well seasoned and cooked to a reasonable medium with just a little pink, and I like the fact that it wasn't huge. Agree wholeheartedly on the fries, and didn't mind the bun. Irrespective of the merits of the burger, a real plus was the variety and quality of brew on tap. I can't think of any places offhand that have Belfast Lobster Ale on tap, and the other 12 or so taps included goodies like Victory Hop Devil IPA, Six Point Brownstone, and Southampton Secret Ale. My biggest problem with Royale is the uber-shitty beer selection, and Black Iron wins out in spades in this regard (though Royale still has a better burger).
