Dear Slice: 'I Made It to Delancey Last Night'
Love Delancey. Will be putting up photos from my 4th visit tonight here. Amazon is telling me that Orangette's book will ship on Friday. Then I will know a little more about how one of my five favorite restaurants came to be.

Delancey: Seattle's Great Pizza Hope
It only took a couple of visits for Delancey to become my favorite restaurant in Seattle. I now long to try the places that Pettit went to across the country. Natalie's right about the desserts. When I go to Delancey, I tell my fellow hungry people in line to save room for dessert. The entire experience of dining there could not be better. I'm going as often as I can before the national reviews start pouring in and the wait becomes like it is in Phoenix for Bianco's joint.

Lunchbox Laboratory's Dork Burger Is Drippin'-Down-Your-Chin Good
Pointy, I believe you're being sarcastic, but just in case you aren't, I'll answer your question. Surely you can find something you might like here -- even if it's only from what you might dream up on the "build your own" board. Also, in my visits I've not once been stuck in traffic (other than maybe for a few minutes at the Ballard bridge waiting for a boat to go through.) Lastly, I just ask that they don't move to Belltown :)
Stushi, as is the case with almost all great establishments, they can get very busy. I try to go when I imagine not a lot of people are there. It also depends on if they've just been written up. (Like the recent Seattle Times piece, the article here, the Food Network praise, and what may be pending on epicurious.com) Basically LL survives on word of mouth. Even if that mouth is full and all the person can do is moan their approval :)

Here's one Leslie. It's about as minimalist as I have for the Dork, along with the previously mentioned Pizza Face :)
Scott has one this weekend with Muenster Cheese and a Cuban Pineapple Mayo called Fidel Castro's Fastball...

Leslie, it was nice to meet you there. I'll be documenting my 44th visit to Lunchbox Laboratory here tomorrow...
Chinolam: I've posted photos of multiple menu boards to give you an idea of how to order here in my Flickr set. I also posted their hours there so people coming from out of town/state/country won't be upset for showing up when they're closed...
Delancey: Seattle's Great Pizza Hope
Sorry to burst your bubble cervantes008,but I don't think you have eaten any good NJ/NYC Neapolitan.Bubbles like that are admired and desired IMO.
Delancey: Seattle's Great Pizza Hope
Not to be negative, but why are there pizza bubbles on their pies? They are burnt bubbles so that just tells me that they only check on the pizza once before taking it out. Even Domino's pops their bubbles. We don't have that in NJ/NYC Neapolitan pies.
Delancey: Seattle's Great Pizza Hope
"I've learned that great pizza in Seattle is about as hard to come by as bad pizza in New York." I almost stopped reading at this point....their is ALOT of bad pizza in New York....ALOT. For every DiFara, Luzzo's, Patsy's, etc... their are 20 bad places. I think Seattle might be one of the better pizza places in the country, maybe top 3 with Delancey, Pucinella, Picolino, Serious Pie, A bunch of Via Tribunali, and Tutta Bella. I think maybe the strongest pizza city on the west coast....including overrated San Francisco.

Suomynona, those pictures look amazing. I can't wait!

A Hamburger Today, we love your post on Epicurious’ 12 Best Burgers in America. The Zuni Café cheeseburger sounds delicious and Roth Käse Private Reserve is our favorite. Have you tried it yet?

Sounds good, and since I just live over in Greenwood, it's not a long trip to check it out. Can you actually get into the place, or is it crazy busy like Red Mill Burgers.
Lunchbox Laboratory's Dork Burger Is Drippin'-Down-Your-Chin Good
Why would I or anyone bother to go all the way up to nosebleed suburban Ballard (aka Dullard) and fight with the horrid traffic on dismal and depressing 15th Ave? Not even for the most delicious burger, which is not this one from the look of things...waaay too sloppy!
LL please consider a move to Capital Hill, say....

Hey everybody! I love the comments here. I just wish I had a better pic of the burger I ate and wrote about, the unadorned Dork. That's what I like about this Lunchbox. You can go minimalist or way over the top.
As far as other great Seattle burgers, don't miss Palace Kitchen or Betty on top of Queen Anne, which just started a happy hour burger served with hand-cut frites, housemade pickles on a house-baked brioche baked by the talented pastry chef Brittany. Just $8.

I think that burger looks great! Whets my appetite for sure!
Lunchbox Laboratory's Dork Burger Is Drippin'-Down-Your-Chin Good
that one looks less cookie-tossing but still more "this is why you're fat" than "a hamburger today"!

@everyone: In case you're just joining in, the "cookie tosser" photo in question has been replaced by one (hopefully more gastric juice-inducing) by suomynona.

Optic, try Two Bells or Jak's Grill.

that photo -- a real cookie tosser.....

Lunchbox Lab, what a "nasty" looking burg. well chosen.
Lunchbox Laboratory's Dork Burger Is Drippin'-Down-Your-Chin Good
@dmarina: they've been on thisiswhyyourefat.com before. In fact, one of their burgers was just posted on there a few days ago.
Lunchbox Laboratory's Dork Burger Is Drippin'-Down-Your-Chin Good
that photo is indeed disgusting, but lunchbox lab has some good burgers. as always, go the simple route -- all the options tempt you to experiment a lot but it's best to keep it simple stupid. :) still, the idea of going there 20 times in 30 days makes me ill.
seattleites: where's the best simple little burger in town? other than red mill, which is what everyone says for burgers.
