I am actually surprised & disappointed that Dewey/Gayle have bought into this ""hype"".The burgers can be described simply as:Ground Beef
Lettuce Tomato Onion Bun Self-inflicted condiments.
Anything else tasted during your experience is solely in your mind.There was nothing special about this burger whatsoever.So, this begs the questions:1)Apparently Gayle likes ketchup. Perhaps the flavor of the ketchup is what she tastes & that drove her burger appreciation, perhaps this is what motivates Dewey as well.
2)None of the aforementioned ingredients were particularly stellar, nor was the bacon or the processed cheese slice they pawned off as ""cheese"".Anyhow, I went, I saw, I ate & while I can say it was ""OK"" its certainly not a place I would suggest anyone else go.Cozy Soup and Burger is a better burger,but by no means do I believe that that's the best burger in NYC. It can't be and neither can Corner Bistro
