#43: "Day of the Week" Deal

Perhaps a sign of the poor economy, restaurants and bars seem to be loving the day of the week deals. The “Come on Tuesday and get a free beer with your pizza!” type of thing. But enough about the economy. Let's focus on what's important here. By far the most impressive, delicious and money saving version I have experienced of these deals is Burger Monday at James (nice capitals…apparently Burger Monday is a proper noun to me). I think due to the "its just as good as manhattan complex" there are a lot of hyped up places in Brooklyn (the Vanderbilt for one) but James lives up to it.

If James was a real boy, he would love whiskey and meat, be effortlessly trendy... and actually kinda friendly. James is also a bit pricey, so while on Monday you can go and have the full menu, you can save by going with the $10 burger deal. So far I have done the pulled pork burger with a duck egg on top and a side of sweet potato fries (I don't know what process that pork goes through to get it to taste that way, but I know it takes an entire day). I also did the lamb burger with warm goat cheese, melted onion and paprika fries. The only one I haven’t checked out is the classic. Once I realized I was going to be in a bikini in south florida relatively soon, I decided to lay off my burger a week diet. Also the nice bartender was starting to think I was a weirdo for coming so often (and of course, at times, alone). But based on the previous 2 I don’t think Ill be disappointed.
