12 Burgers in 8 Hours, a Burger Bender
Well that's my first 8 hours in NY planned, what to do with the other 40?
12 Burgers in 8 Hours, a Burger Bender
You are not a nut, Kenji !!
I, too, had a VERY BLAND burger at the CORNER BISTRO..
and I DID take mine out in that brown PAPER BAG !
The place is so tiny, nowhere hardly to stand, much less sit, so I took it out, and ate it on a nearby sidewalk...
I found the burger VERY mediocre!
And I like your comparison , when you said that one can still tell a supermodel looks like a supermodel even on her worst day!
I write lots of trip reports, complete with pics on Roadfood.com
mostly regarding burgers and pastrami...

I like Miller's...how about Nathan's?...I've only had their hot dogs from the grocery store...I enjoyed watching 'A Hot Dog Show' on PBS

Thanks! I'm actually heading to the druid for an official burger tasting next week. I'm doing a similar sort of roundup on Boston burgers (with a slightly different slant). Keep your eyes tuned on the Sunday Globe Magazine in a couple weeks - the article should be out then (I've had 8 burgers in the last three days. ouch).

Great write up! I am a Queens transplant to Boston and I must agree with you on the lack of good dogs, burgers, and pizza. I have yet to find an acceptable dog or slice, but definitely check out the Druid Pub in Somerville for a great burger. Flame grilled and beautifully seasoned, these guys have it down pat. The only thing I would complain about is the bread to meat ratio - the bun is a little fluffy for my liking. However, the patty is simply delicious and I think that you will enjoy it. They also have wonderful hand cut french fries, mmm.

Pizzeria Regina in the north end of Boston has awesome pizza its safe to say that it its the best . Also Sidecar in Brooklyn has a great grassfeed beef burger

I'm so excited about this, I live right in the West Village and I need to try so many of these places. I've heard the same thing about the Stoned Crow, though, so maybe you should check that out in your next visit.
Also, as a former Boston-ite, have you not had Pizzeria Regina?! It's completely worth the wait! And if you're looking for a great burger in Boston, go to Tim's Tavern on Clarendon between Columbus and Dartmouth. It's a total dive, I think only frequented by hardcore locals, but the burgers are unreal.

Sorry, guys: you missed the boat on this one. I've been consuming burgers in NYC for 57 years and the best (most CONSISTENTLY best) I've encountered are served at the Riviera Cafe on Sheridan Square in Manhattan. I believe they're grilled as opposed to griddled, but...who cares? Good is good.

Summerfield - Oh yes, Miller's is in the book. I love that place.

Awww...ain't dat nice? Anyway...
@Hamburger America: Has any one of the thousands of burgers you've eaten in the last seven years been a burger from Miller's Bar in Dearborn, MI?

Hey All - Kenji and I have made up, so no more nasty blogging please. We are both professionals and shouldn't be taken so seriously in the comments. And are getting a burger together soon (though not a Bistro Burger).

I want a hotdog, a hamburger, two slices of pizza, and, uh, a big bowl of Chinese-Cantonese-American lobster chow mein with crunchy noodles - and rice. If I moved back to NY I'd have to spend three hours a day on a Nordic Trac.
@kenjialtci: you're right, those weird top-split buns have got to go. What are people thinking?

I've posted about this numerous times. Gray's Papaya, Papaya King, most of the "Papaya" knockoffs, and Katz's use the same recipe Sabrett natural casing dog. Gray's and Papaya King use the 10 to a lb, while Katz's uses a slightly larger dog. I know distributors as well as the person in charge of private label at Marathon Enterprises who have confirmed this information. Anyone who says that their dogs are made to a special recipe or "made just for them" is lying.

@summerfield
Wow - that's about 50 cents a dog. Not bad! Too bad the kraut doesn't come free too.
Now I just need to find a place to source regular hot dog buns instead of the weird top-split ones we have here.

kenjialtci and kathrynyu, thanks for the info. I'll check out Ed's article. kenjialtci, I have Sabrett's shipped in to me from this link: http://www.pirylis.com/newyorkflavor/index.html
I believe they're on the Jersey side. I order the 5-lb bag of natural casing dogs. It's like having a blue and yellow umbrella cart in my kitchen. By the way, pretty stupendous feat, kenjialtci.
