one more thing

so way back in may, CG and I got into an argument over who had the best burger in the city. We went back and forth between Burger Joint and Shake Shack for hours, with me throwing in the fact that Corner Bistro has the best burger below 14th street. We couldn't convince each other of burger superiority. Thus began the great burger off of 2006. Last month joined by the muppet we hit in one night all 3 spots. We each took different routes of determining best burger, i opted for each spots burger specialty (the works @ the joint, the shack burger @ shake shack and of course the bistro burger, which includes both bacon and cheese @ corner bistro), CG opted for the plain burger at each place. We started at the joint and worked our way south. Here's my burger from the joint:


We hit the shake shack (not a moment to soon might I add as the next morning I saw a report on just how badly the shake shack failed their health inspection), here was my uninspired burger from the shack:


we then hit corner bistro, i have no picture because i was concentrating to hard on eating their meatyh monstrosity with my belly already full of two burgers. I was sweating, but we got much kudos from the boys at the table nex to ours who couldn't quite believe we were able to eat that much.

When all was said and done Burger Joint won! Huzzah! But this was only round one. Next we plan on hitting the spotted pig, blue nine and peter luger's. The winner of that round will take on Burger Joint for the ultimate title. Although there was talk of three initial rounds and a final round of the three winning burgers. thoughts on a third round? everyone in NY seems to have an opinion of the best burger. we are sticking to under ten dollars (the DB Burger can't be compared to the burger joint?) and no franchises ( i don't care how good fatburger is). so if you have an opinion, throw it in, we'd love to hear what you have to say!
