On the plate: Bacon cheeseburger with blue cheese and onion ring, on toasted brioche $13
Doug Psaltis: “We put a burger on the menu because we want this place to be a neighborhood spot, somewhere you come in for a hamburger and beer on Tuesday night—low-key. It goes great with Burgundy, too. When I get the "make-your-own" option, this is the burger I make. It's definitely one you'd want a couple of extra napkins with. The bun is a sesame seed brioche bun from Blue Ribbon Bakery right down the street, and it's not too much bread. It's served with a breaded onion ring and some Maytag blue cheese. The onion ring works to hold in the cheese, or like a kiddie pool for the cheese. The ring is cut extra thick then steamed to soften it, then it's breaded with a little bit of smoked paprika and sugar in the crumbs.
“That’s topped with two slices of extra thick double smoked bacon, and we smear some spicy Dijon mustard on the bun. No ketchup unless someone asks for it. We use a half pound of brisket for each patty, so it's 70% lean and 30% fat. The meat is from Pat LaFrieda, some of the best ground beef in the city, and it's grilled on a charcoal grill. These are the flavors I enjoy the most in a burger: smoke, spice, blue cheese, and onion. Off the menu, there's the Big Boy, which you can order if you're in the know. Just kidding.”

They cut the burger in half before serving it??? That's fucking retarded. I would send it back if that's how they brought it out to me.
Seyo, I cut the burger in half to give the photo a cross sectional view. Smith's leaves your burger whole and untouched when serving it. -Hugh
We put the burger on the menu because we wanted to be a neighborhood spot where you came in for a beer. So we made it with blue cheese and put it on toasted brioche and charge $13 for a friggin' cheeseburger.
neighborhood full of dbags....
When's the last time you bought a burger in a Manhattan? $13 is very reasonable. Besides, it looks delicious.
Does it at least come with something besides that pickle that's on the plate. I can get a great cheeseburger deluxe with a mound of fries and onion rings and all the cole slaw and pickles you can stomach for less than $8. But that would be from a real neighborhood place.
$13! That's expensive for a gourmet meal? Besides, how else they gonna pay the $10,000 plus month rent?
I understand you can get a Big Mac for under $5 in Kew Gardens.
