dumont's burger is fine but by far not the best burger in brooklyn.IMHO the best burger in brooklyn is probably at Bonnie's in Park Slop.
also, Bar-B-Q in Greenwood Heights is awesome.

peter luger's burger is crazy good.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:41 (fifteen years ago) link
it's not claimed as just the best burger in brooklyn, but the best in nyc
"peaches" in bed stuy has got some good nu-americana or whatever you wanna call it--good soul food/comfort dishes made w/ local organic ingredients
dunno what nu-american is, but that isn't new american food

question:
what ever happened to Honmura An in SoHo? I heard Jean-Georges bought the space a few years back but never heard what became of it. That used to be my go-to soba spot downtown.

shef i like my burgers rare goddamnit. i don't hate on their burgers or anything, but the price has gone up what, like $5 in the last three years? so it's good and whatever but if i'm gonna go and sit at dumont i'd rather just get the mac n cheese for real cuz that really IS the best mac n cheese in the area whereas the burger is merely "top 10" material.
― ian, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:57 (fifteen years ago) link
dumont burger steez kinda misses the mark imo - everyone knows fast food style is where its at - its still good tho
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:59 (fifteen years ago) link
RIP pies n thighs burger.

okay, Honmura An is now Dop Dop, a hair salon. RIP downtown soba.

will pies n thighs ever reopen? i talked to one of the owners last spring and she was all o yah well be open at the end of june :(
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 17:01 (fifteen years ago) link
yes, Steve, J-G opened the world's greatest noodle shop there, but only ILX knows about it. on a related matter, what's the deal with Myth these days after the Great God pulled out?
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 17:01 (fifteen years ago) link
hahahaha i eat mine super-rare, i just feel like at dumont the rarer it is the better the burger is, everyone i know who like hates on dumont is a "well done" weirdo so i had to check!
but yeah, the price goes up, even since i moved back permanently it's gone up by a dollar or two i feel like. the prob with the mac & cheese for me is that i make really good mac & cheese myself when i can be bothered so paying $15 for it is like "well, i dunno" whereas i am completely incompetant on burgers so $15 for a burger seems like a good investment. tho yeah their mac & cheese is good.
i have heard there are good burgers at melt on bergen st (served like 1/2 price at the bar??) but i have only eaten brunch there.
xpost i was just going to ask about pies n thighs

god gabbneb, look like more of an asshole all over the thread for no reason
steve shasta soba ya is pretty awesome have u been there
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 17:02 (fifteen years ago) link
i used to be a well done weirdo -- cuz i like the outside crispy! but then i understood this doesn't work. now i'm just a medium, if i'm kooky a medium rare.
― Surmounter, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 17:02 (fifteen years ago) link
you could get it crispy without getting the outside more than medium rare, i feel like. i think that is part of why i like dumont's, the outside is still pretty charry even when i order it basically raw.
― the schef (adam schefter ha ha), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 17:03 (fifteen years ago) link
i like some steaks rare but a super rare burger is a little too mushy imo - medium rare is perfect for a big fat burger - of course if yr going shake shake etc fast food style its just uniformly medium and awesome
― joe six pak (ice crӕm), Tuesday, 7 October 2008 17:05 (fifteen years ago) link
medium rare guys duh

my dad will never shut up about the idea of ordering a steak 'black and blue', but I'm not sure if that would work so well with a burger.

i still like the burgers at molly's. they are not the fashionable fast food-y kind, though.
