The Feast of the Immaculate Conception
Reservations
This session has concluded.
The Meaty Details
July 21 at 4PM, we return to our roots with the annual Feast of the Immaculate Conception, celebrating the flawless birth of Burger Club at the genesis point: Whitman's in the East Village. $25 gets you any burger on their menu (there are many, each one a glorious, polished gem of beefy delight), a side such as their blue cheese fries, crack kale and more, and a tall glass of beer or wine to wash it all down.
Come back to the beginning with us. Afterwards, we'll ravage the East Village and possibly break into my old apartment...

It couldn’t compare directly to the Hound, but it’s a damn fine, creative bit of meat slinging and I can’t argue with the unified vision of it. It’s sloppiness was nicely complimented by my blue cheese “cat puke” fries.
Muy bien.
The Hound is a Myriad of taste and texture. All the right decisions were made is constructing this beauty- the savoriness of the meat, texture of the bacon and potato and choice of gruyere cheese is anything you could ask for.
As for Andrew...he’s wearing a snappy burger pin, and I appreciate the relativness. He also recently got a haircut...which was a good move. He also grows toe nails like Wolverine... Repect.
The peppers blended into the patty gave the burger a nice slow burn without taking anything away from the medium rare juiciness
The Hound is a masterpiece of flavor and balance. An intense blast of flavors that still manages to be complex and well blended. Whitman’s remains one of the best in the biz - quality people serving quality food, with class. The comped Tots made it extra special. Brita was an absolute delight. This place makes me happy.
Wasn’t expecting the blue cheese in the *middle* of the patty but was pleasantly surprised by the texture and overall taste. Maybe a little too much cheese (some of which conveniently fell out of the burger), but overall this was a damn good burger. (Also high marks for general ambience and subtle call outs to eponymous poet laurate of Brooklyn and all bridges so named.)
