Ok truthfully I am unqualified to enter the burger debate. It’s like debating over romantic comedies. Even if there are different levels of quality, if you’re a fan, you kind of like them all. Burgers are delicious: Fancy (DBGB’s), midrange (Dumont), casual (Shake Shack). I mean…even Wendy’s gets my heart going. So for this “thing” I thought I’d offer a version recommended by a friend that is both unexpected and tasty. Five Leaves, located in Greenpoint, does the following: grass fed beef, pineapple ring, house-pickled beets, harissa mayo and an organic sunny side up egg. I don’t know what genius (or culture) thought this one up... Actually, I hear its either Australia or New Zealand. Anyway, it may not replace your love of the standard, but it will be an experience worth remembering. And for a similar experience you probably wont remember, try the “Burger with the lot” at Bondi Road’s all you can drink brunch. Its got some similar stuff on it like beets, egg…I kind of forgot.
p.s. This is an actual image of the thing taken from someone else's food blog.... classy.
I had a Five Leaves burger the day before I left NYC and it blew my mind. Totes the best burger I had during my time there...it made me even more sad to leave!
