i have some faith in them cause i thought that little pig was really good. sad that they killed it. i went to peaches once and it was pretty good but nothing more. would give it another chance. i think smoke joint is good, but never go there.

sur, you like everything. it's charming.
― mizzell, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 15:57 (fifteen years ago) link
i will admit that i am pushing peaches maybe more than it deserves cause i have a certaine amnt of hood pride 4 it plus once they gave me a free corn & black bean salad

^otm re dumont's burger, and may restore mas to #1 on my never-been list
― gabbneb, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:00 (fifteen years ago) link
omg dumont's burger is delicious. i have to try lucali pizza still.
max have you tried solomon's porch yet? it's inconsistent (they seemed to run out of like half their menu constantly?) but brunch is good.

they totally gutted the place - the amount of work they put in was pretty impressive

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.

do u like 5 guys ian

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.

ian, how do you like your burgers cooked? i feel like that makes a big difference with dumont?

Sasabune now beating Sushi Seki in Zagat

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.
― ian, Tuesday, 7 October 2008 16:59 (fifteen years ago) link
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
