Best ceaser ever is in "quality meats" @ central park south 58st btw 5th & 6th

Add wontons in red oil, ma po dofu, and loofah to the list of orgasmically amazing dishes from this chain. Any others?

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.

Hey everyone,

We asked Brooklyn bloggers to join the conversation, so check out their picks.

Happy Restaurant Weeking,

I really like Bamonte's in Williamsburg. It's my family's favorite Italian place. I personally wouldn't bother going for Restaurant Week. It'd be only slightly cheaper and probably really crowded. The place is already pretty full any night of the week.

How clever. The scallion sauce is traditionally served on perfectly poached and chilled small shrimp in authentic Szechuan restaurants. I've had this dish mild and have had it with tiny slender red hot pickled peppers and it's magnificent.

I don't know if I'd send a hamburger back--at that point, I don't trust the cook. I'd just tell the waiter/tress and have her take it off the check. For example--I ordered the four miniburgers at Chili's that were supposed to be topped with apple smoked bacon, cheese and onions. Sounds good--everyone's doing "sliders" these days. What I ended up with was a DRIED out hamburger patty that was cut into four pieces with a little cheese on one of them. No bacon, no onions--what the he11? When I brought it to the waitress' attention, she didn't seem all that surprised--I guess they were out of mini-burger and were making do. No, I don't want to order something else--it will only be the same quality as the crap the cook already sent out. If the restaurant, whether it's a chain or not, LOSES money because they don't get a chance to "try again", they will make sure the food goes out right the first time! Most of the time, if you send something back what you get isn't all that much better, but you eat it anyway, pay for it anyway just to get out of the restaurant.

Yay! Glad you tried it and it worked out for you. Last night I received a cheeseburger medium well I had ordered medium rare--I really did not enjoy it and gave the restaurant low marks. Perhaps I'll go there one more time and see if it's any better when cooked correctly.

@ Drakmyth

You have absolutely got to be a troll, or did not read any pages on this site.

The French always spit in returned food. It is tradition.

I bet the 2nd burger was even juicier because of the secret saliva that the cook added to the re-order.

QQ indeed. Thanks for proving my point, dude.

Hey simon, maybe you should learn how to spell and read.

As the poster said : advise. To advise means to counsel, recommend or inform. It does not mean to tell someone what to do.

They obviously feel strongly about eating undercooked meat but instead of respecting their opinion you call it 'their problem'.

I do apologize for not falling in lockstep. Guten Tag.

Yay! I'm so proud I asked the question to spur this in your mind then. I had the same thing happen to me last week. The burger was a hockey puck the first try but the second time it was a fantastic burger.
