NYC Burger Series: 1/30
Transcript
I'm starting a new series where I try 30 of the top rated burgers in New York City. I'll record the weight and price of each one, rate them on taste and quality, and track where the fries are included and what they cost if they're extra. I'm just really curious about the data. I love a good burger, and it hurts my soul that the classic American burger and fry combo seems to have gone gentle into that good night. First up is a true New York City institution, Corner Bistro. It's one of the last landmarks of the Good West Village neighborhood, untouched by tasting menu culture and influencer lines. It represents a time when a cheap burger and a beer were enough to anchor a night out. Tier times do change. The iconic best burger now runs $16.75, and fries are a separate $6.50. The burger weighed 13 ounces right on the dot. And as for the taste, it reminded me of the kind of burger that your drunk uncle is grilling up on the July 4. And I mean that affectionately. These burgers have a time and place. It's a good basic bar burger and a solid late night option, but a bit bland and definitely in need of some more salt and season. It didn't hold together well as you got into it, and the structural integrity of a burger is important. Overall, it's a 7.1 out of 10 for me. But if you've never been, it's definitely worth a trip for the atmosphere and to feel the nostalgia of the Good West Village. I'm still currently building out my list of burger spots to hit, so please drop your Rex. Follow me for more.
