FDNY Visits Artichoke

If these guys dont know that tossing flour in a 500 degree gas oven is an idiot move they probably shouldn't be using them. But thats another story. I just ate there for the first time after a few attempts. The line moved relatively quick. I dont know why there even is a line in the first place, they have six oven shelves to work and could probably be a little more thoughtful in the expediting department.
As for the pizza, (Joe and Pat's is THE standard), the pizza is crap. Yup, total crap. You have to be drunk to eat it. They should move to Chicago at that thickness. I imagine they had to leave Staten Island because that kind of garbage would not be tolerated. I'll stick with Bleeker in that hood or some of the thin slices on Ave. B..

Burger Book Giveaway: 'Hamburger America'

Turns out we had one extra book sitting around. So we have six winners instead of five! And the winners are:

dark brown salty crust
right amount of pink inside
sizzle juicy drip
—benzado

The judges say: Perfect invocation of the perfect burger.

You once were a cow
Now you are a burger
Tasty little cow
—UncleTupelo

The judges say: Fun and wickedly dark, from the cow's standpoint. If haikus had titles, this one's should be "Bwahahahah."

this is Mc Nuggets
i said i want a Big Mac
fix your intercom
—maqloubeh

The judges say: We've all been there, man. Amen.

Fresh from the butcher,
When almost rare, good moist beef,
Seasoned, stands alone
—LunaPierCook

The judges say: Right on. The best burgers need little more than seasoning.

Pastures of cows & steer
Fields of golden wheat
A Burger is Born
—Q80 BurgerBelly

The judges say: Simply beautiful. Captures not only the spirit of burgers but the spirit of America at its best, as well.

Family cookout
Behind me, sizzle and smoke --
I can see burgers
—EatingInTranslation

The judges say: Evocative of Memorial Day and summer weekends in general.

Thanks to everyone who entered. And it is clear we will have to hold a burger limerick contest soon!

Juices hot and red
Dribble slowly down my chin
A bite of heaven.
