The last time I made the trek to Brooklyn solely to try a new burger, I have to say I was a bit disappointed. It was for the DuMont burger that I had heard so much about (recently made list of America’s top-rated burgers by Epicurious and was the top-rated 2008 burger by Zagat). My medium-rare burger [...]

Something just didn’t sit right with me after my Benjamin Burger Challenge experience last week, and it wasn’t the Benjamin Burger.

The Competitors:
I. Molly’s Pub & Restaurant: 287 3rd Avenue (22nd & 23rd).  Molly’s Jumbo 10 ounce [...]
