Burger-thon 2007: 67 Burger
Bonus review for Brooklyn. Brandon didn’t make it here with us, and we usually go here pretty regularly but hadn’t been in a while. The design of this place is great, from the dining furniture and concrete floors to the elegant menu graphics. A few of the small great things about this place I’ve mentioned before: Bosco Chocolate Soda, free refills, good staff. They reworked the menu recently though; I didn’t get a picture of it, I should have, but this is on it now:
That’s called the Ranch Burger, I think. It’s got ranch dressing, obviously, and some fried onion crumbles on top. Non-traditional, but they do a good job with it. The extras don’t overwhelm the flavor of the meat, which is always cooked right here in my experience. Put together, it looked a little like this:
Their most commonly ordered item, the bacon and bleu cheese burger, got dubbed the 67 burger in the menu update, and still wins my favorite burger there, but there’s only so many of those I can have without worrying for my life. Not that this one is all that much better for me, but hey, you gotta have your limits.
Since our first visits, they have fixed their salting problem (and yes, RD, it was a problem). They still look great, though.
Overall, I still think I prefer 67 over all the other burgers we tried over the week B was here — It’s certainly not the cheapest, but it is the best quality and value for the money. It’s also close to home, delicious and consistent. So, quick ranking, from worst to best: Pete’s, BLT Burger, Five Guys, 67 Burger (I don’t know where Southern Sun fits in there — B?).
That’s all the burgers for now. Visiting NYC? Find a burger place and let me know!

Might put BLT behind Pete’s. That’s a tough call. I was definitly put off by BLT’s pseudo-odd-pretension. Southern Sun I might place above all of them, but I’m a tad biased on that place. It’s a little tough to figure. When you visit Boulder, we can go and then you can decide.

wow, finally a reference to some real math: the class of pseudo-odd numbers was recognized first by Euler (who else?) when he realized that in base n with n

less than 1, a generalization of “odd” is needed. more recently, these pseudo-odd numbers have become important in relating knot theory to singularities related to string theory. As you can imagine, pulling on the strings makes knots more difficult to untie; however, by pre-tensioning the knots using pseudo-odd bases, singularities typically dealt with using Ricci flows can be avoided completely. Kudos to bmpmlb for referencing this important bit of mathematical progress.

You know what sounds good right now? A big ol’ hamburger.

brl’s comments gave me a minor aneurism. I have to lie down now… and dream of brugers.
what kind of shake is that hiding in the background of pic #2?

that’s an oreo shake. it’s pretty thick, but melts enough to drink through a small straw. this brought up the question: do they use oreo ice cream, or do they put real oreos in the ice cream? i was thinking the latter, since the oreo to ice cream ratio was pretty ridiculous.

I suspected it might be. I have oreo shake radar. If i had a mistress it would be an oreo shake with real oreo chunks in it.
