This is glory. Sweet Baby Jesus. The majestic harmoniousness of this slab of beefy magic cannot be overstated. The hype is true and remains true. This is the best - funky dry aged beef, perfectly carmelized onions, clarified butter and the most perfect bun ever to rise - perhaps that is the secret here, as it holds it together structurally yet melts in your mouth like the morning dew. Fries are spectacular. Ambiance flawless. Yes it's expensive, but you get what you pay for, and it's worth every penny. Still #1 in my book.
This is a damn tasty burger. Good lord this is a tasty burger. The deep fried glory of this was made even more perfect by the snowstorm outside, but the bread here - Slovak homemade - is genius. The package is entirely complete and magnificent in a uniquely harmonious way. This. Is. Magic.
The venue was freezing cold. The sides solid but. It winning. Don't even care. This is a champion.
I commend the endeavor. I respect the science. But I cannot stand idly by as the lamestream food media breathlessly proclaims this the future of burgerdom. It is not. This is just not good enough to replace the finest out there. A razor thin patty with almost no taste at all...piled high with toppings to mask the lack of a there, there. When I got it alone, it just didn't deliver for me at the end of the day. A less flavorful fast food patty with a slightly off aftertaste.
Try again. Keep trying. But don't call this the answer. At least the fries were tasty...waitress was snotty and then venue was rife with pretentiousness. Sorry but I'm just not a fan.
This was a messy, complex, unexpected and absolutely delicious burger. The addition of the sausage added a sweetness and a boost of flavor that elevated what could've otherwise been a run of the mill beef slab. The sauces co-mingled nicely, sweet and spicy and creamy, and while it made the whole affair a slip sliding mess it was ok. Fries and sauce were excellent, value for our prix fixe was excellent, service from Tiffany was wonderful. A fine fine experience.
The bacon. Oh the bacon. Thank you. This was a flavorful patty and the smoked cheese amped things up gloriously. A fine finish to a fantastic evening...well done.
This was a bold and powerful first entry. Impressive in its inventiveness and the range of explosive flavors that powered into my mouth. Chasing it with a shot of beer vodka only amped up the glory. The only avenue of improvement would be lessening the heat of the horseradish, as it had a tendency to impose itself unnecessarily. Fantastic work.
I'm biased but that is a damn tasty burger. Rich and luxuriant as any Frenchman would desire. Hands off Jean-Peroux-Francois.
Very tasty and complex - the onions in particular were sensational. But the salad made it too slippery and difficult without adding significant impact to the burger. An excellent piece of beef all around though.
This was surprisingly disappointing. Forn$26 and the hype of a lifetime I expected more, but the burger was cold, the sauce overwhelmed everything, and the result just fell far short of expectations. The meat was largely masked by the pile of toppings and sauce, and the messiness - while charming - didn't add to the experience. On the plus side, the fries were magnificent, the presentation on a pizza tray was lovely, the service was attentive and the pretzel bun was a nice touch. If it were cheaper I'd recommend wholeheartedly, but at Minetta level price, I expect minetta level taste.
9s across the board. This was a marvelous outing, The Hound is simply a delight, the chips give texture, the Gruyere is smooth as buttered baby fat, and the patty with bacon infused tastes like the love of a child. The staff is top notch and friendly as all get out. The music is on point. The vaue i
