If I'm spending nearly $10 on a burger, I'd rather skip the line and go to Umami Burger which is the ultimate burger experience. Otherwise, day-to-day, I'll stick to In-N-Out for $3.Dtreanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-55753768015042244502012-02-20T00:11:34.813-08:002012-02-20T00:11:34.813-08:00Is that you, Adam?Is that you, Adam?kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-79494738965849524532012-02-09T19:04:27.371-08:002012-02-09T19:04:27.371-08:00I would gladly trade kevineats for a real food blo...I would gladly trade kevineats for a real food blog....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-6822563597980146532012-02-02T02:25:26.824-08:002012-02-02T02:25:26.824-08:00Rich: Nope, I've not been to Burger Joint.

Perhaps the hype made me extra-cynical and looking for faults. But I do agree that it is better than In-and-Out. Have you tried the Burger Joint? It's another hyped up burger place in New York. It's not bad, and the location is quite fun.Richhttp://windyfoodie.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-33620791009238030142012-01-28T18:54:16.425-08:002012-01-28T18:54:16.425-08:00Anon: Well I gotta admit, EMP and Daniel *are* at ...<b>Anon</b>: Well I gotta admit, EMP and Daniel *are* at the top of my to-eat list in NY. How's Yasuda holding up after Chef Naomichi left? As for Five Guys, I think the "uncle in a hawaiian shirt" taste is part of the appeal. ;)<br /><br /><b>Andrew</b>: I went to a couple of those, but unfortunately my stay in the City was brief this time around.<br /><br /><b>Waleed</b>: Ha! Don't we still have Korean and Thai too? Thanks for the recommendations--a lot of them are already on my list, but a few new names as well; Artichoke looks promising.<br /><br /><b>Daniel</b>: Well In-n-out <i>is</i> a lot cheaper, but if they had Shake Shacks here in LA, I think I'd gravitate toward them more.<br /><br /><b>Ben</b>: The line was surprisingly short; I'd say about five minutes. And I even went back in line for the Shack Stack.<br /><br /><b>Vinh</b>: Yes, I should! I hear you about eating In-N-Out for 25 years, but when it comes to Five guys vs In-N-Out, I think I'd still go with the latter despite the novelty of the former.kevinEatshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874030588556187843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-13422226790327766712012-01-28T13:05:09.527-08:002012-01-28T13:05:09.527-08:00I would definitely choose Shake Shack over In-N-Ou...I would definitely choose Shake Shack over In-N-Out but I think that in part has to do with the fact that I've been eating it for 25+ years.

We went to NYC this past year and tried a Shake Shack burger; I thought there is no way NYC has better burgers than LA. Well at least we still have Mexican.<br /><br />Also, we tried a bunch of other places..our favs on the last trip were Brooklyn Fare (no photos allowed), Del Posto (tortello and gnudi were amazing), DBGB, Ai Fiori and Keste.<br /><br />On our previous trip together, favs were Marea, EMP, Artichoke Pizza (Sicilian Slice), Momofuku Ssam Bar, Jean Georges, Blue Hill at Stones Barns (we were split on this one), Russ and Daughters, and Momofuku Milk Bar (Candy Bar Pie)...very disappointed by Babbo and Le Bernardin.<br /><br />Most or all of which you have heard of. I would push for you to try Del Posto and Artichoke12345https://www.blogger.com/profile/05850436920286017588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8667271330300336985.post-88109756349066325132012-01-27T08:18:27.174-08:002012-01-27T08:18:27.174-08:00Nice write-up, Kevin, but if I'm honest, I'...Nice write-up, Kevin, but if I'm honest, I'm eagerly awaiting your reviews of starred establishments.

What other places do you plan on going to this time?<br /><br />I'd love to see your review on places like Barbuto or Spotted Pig. But I know you're probably also going to hit up a 3 star Michelin like Eleven Madison or Daniel.<br /><br />And I definitely think you'd appreciate Sushi Yasuda, which is my favorite sushi spot in the city. I've eaten at alot of sushi places including Masa, Urasawa, etc. But for some reason Sushi Yasuda just seems to be the only place where you can get that super pristine flavored salmon in New York. <br /><br />Anyways, happy travels, and I look forward to seeing where you venture in this great city.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
