burgerlicious
Posted by thejinius under eating and drinking, life in new york
Last night I attended my first burger club meeting. I even created my burger club nom de guerre: Burgerlicious. Because everything sounds better with -licious attached at the end. Fergalicious. Bagelicious. Syphilliscious.
My friends started this club to find the best burger in New York City. It’s also just an excuse for us to unabashedly eat some juicy meat and wash it down with beer…or Jameson.
I am supposed to meet the club at Wollensky’s Grill at 8 PM but I have some time to kill so I meet up with Sarah and Chelsea at Dos Caminos. I am sure that margaritas and guacamole are a great way to stimulate the palate. Hmmm, maybe I’ll start my own margarita club. The quest to find the city’s most formidable margarita! Ooh, maybe the inaugural meeting will be on Cinco de Mayo!
Genius.
After Dos Caminos, I stroll into Wollensky’s Grill. Henri introduces me to the other diners and I kinda lose track of their names and he accuses me of being drunk but really it’s because all white people’s names start sounding the same after a while and I get confused. Or maybe it was the tequila on the rocks. Drats!
So all fifteen of us order the Wollensky burger. Oh, except one girl. She orders the chicken. The burger club members give her a lot of flack since they are fervent followers of the burger and after all, that is the name of the club. But I have to admit the chicken looked kinda juicy Mmmmm meeeaaaat.
Matt and Todd and I are the first to finish our burgers. We hi-five. You think this is a game biatch?!?! This is burger club !!!
Matt says he should be intimidated since I am half his size and can eat the same amount of food in the same amount of time. Yes, be afraid. Be very afraid. And when I get my first angioplasty at the age of thirty I will be muahahahahahaha-ing all the way to the hospital.

Burgerlicious. Crusty on the outside and juicy in the middle.

Henri likes to coordinate his outfits with his burger.

It’s hard to pose while chewing a burger.

Are you gonna eat the rest of that?

This is not from burger club but from passover dinner. I just thought this post had too many pictures of dudes.

When you find the most formidable margarita in NYC, let me know. Sadly, across the river in New Jersey, non of the Mexican restaurants I’ve found seem to have liquor licenses.

Love Dos Caminos, Love Burgers! I love the idea of a burger club. My favorite burgers in NYC are at Stand and at Rare. Rare also has the best fries in the city, in my opinion, get the basket sampler, you won’t be disappointed! Speaking of disappointed, I did not, I repeat, did not like the burger from brgr - sure it tasted okay, but it was like a fancy McDonalds burger, only way more expensive.

Um, why wasn’t I invited? No, seriously. (See previous comment about being slightly creepy and insistent about hanging out with other bloggers)
