I've been having this recent obsession where I'm tracking how many of the best burgers in New York come with fries, how much fries cost if extra, and weighing both just to satisfy my bizarre curiosity. You can't have a best burger list in New York without paying a visit to the institution that is Manetta Tap. Anthony Bourdain called their black label burger the best in the tier, and burger lovers from all across the country rave about this meat frisbee. I rolled through with my big homie, Julian, and we entered into the ambiance that felt like a fusion of a New York steakhouse in a pub. I was yet to have a burger come with fries, so you can imagine my elation when Julian looked at the menu and informed me this one did. I was about to get up and hit a fist pump, but then I saw the $38 price tag next to it. 38 hops is the most expensive burger and fries combo yes, but weighing in at 13.1 ounces, this burger is the heaviest yet on the journey. And 9.1 ounces of fries is a truckload. As for the Black Label Better itself, it was really good, but not top level for me. It just felt like it was missing something. It lacked that wow factor and that pop and flavor that an s tier burger gives. It landed at an 8.4 for me, which currently ranks at fourth out of seven. Head to johnnynoble.com for a living, breathing list of the full rankings and data. Follow me for more. Oh. Because I am actually shaking from laughter.
