Slider Trio at the Gaslight

These puppies were very solid. The good folks at the Gaslight are kind enough to provide 3 varieties of burger:
classic cheeseburger slider
spicy lamb burger
and a plump and juicy meatball parm mini.

Very well executed – seared crisp on the outside, and dripping juicy on the inside. Just how I like it.

Dont let the lighting fool you......

Dressing does not a burger make

Dear Sir,

The burger at Four L's on 2nd and Washington knocks my socks off. Put aside the idea of dressing an overcooked piece of beef with cheese, bacon, and other slatherings. The succulency and slap-yo-grandma-flavor of the meat ALONE is unparalleled in a town that is home to more than a handful of establishments that boast the "Best Burger in Town." (Junior's, I'm looking at you…)

The fries are shoestring, perfectly crisped in clean oil and salted expertly. Quite the compliment. As I'm sure you're a busy man, I don't expect correspondence, but if you do find yourself as impressed with this fine sandwich, please let me know.

George-

Please accept our profound admiration of your passion and integrity as they relate to the sandwich arts.

While Hoboken is stacked with top tier burger offerings we can certainly afford to add another to the list. Unfortunately for 4L's I have been rendered unable to sample their fare in quite some time. You see, this establishment is frequented by a particular individual who, in the semi-recent past, gave HobokenSandwich a broken heart with a side of Old Bay fries and some coleslaw. As an emotional cripple it is simply beyond my capability to venture too close to she who chose to look elsewhere for the meat to compliment her buns.

Alas, if someday I choose to throw caution to the wind and make the leap back to society, 4L's will be the Everest I must climb. Until then I will continue to focus a disturbing level of value on sandwiches, and sandwich related topics.

My retreat from society serves to facilitate my art. A return to life might well be the death of inspiration. Give me a life of misery and meaning over a life of social comfort devoid of inspiration.

But, take heart good lad, our ship is not yet sunk as far as the 4L burger is concerned. We have prepared for such minor issues to arrise and have an established work-around.

For a HobokenSandwich T shirt (100% cotton) send one 4L's Burger to HobokenSandwich HQ and we will give it the appropriate attention. Submit your burger in a sealed FedEx, UPS, or US Mail express envelope and send it to:

HobokenSandwich
Attn: Buger, Quesadilla, & Soup Department
88 Clinton Street #9
Hoboken, NJ

Please put your socks back on your feet and consider making this minimal effort to help improve the community, and perhaps put a warm glow back in the heart of HobokenSandwich.

Regards-HobokenSandwich

Cheeseburger - Pyro Grill

Fresh Food, Fast. That is the promise of Pyrogrill. No freezers or microwaves in the kitchens. Think on that, for a moment. And here is HobokenSandwich traveling 1000 miles to add Pyrogrill to our rolodex of "Super dope and super fresh masters of the sandwich universe list".
That looks like a cheeseburger to me. How do they do it?
Give that meat what it deserves!(Thats what she said) Dont grill the life out of it. Serve it medium, or medium rare.

This is cornfed cattle from the good ole' US of A. Open your eyes and appreciate the wonder of it all.

Long story short: tastes like a better time, in the backyard on my own grill, cooking burgers that I'd been daydreaming about all afternoon. Chedder, or onion and mushroom, tomato, mayo, ketchup. We'll save curry mustard for another conversation. I am simply excited about the fact that somebody is knocking out good burgers on a grill.

HobokenSandwich reaches far and wide to provide our community with intelligent discourse relevant to the sandwich arts.

5 Guys Burgers and Fries - Hoboken has a McDonalds

Waay too many complaints about the unprofessional service, pricey/mediocre burgers, crummy fries. In fact the only positive review I heard was from Perry the Puppet on 411.

You must have a great product, a great price or great service. We cant meet a single one of these criteria so far. What a bummer. Lot's of people were excited about getting a 5 Guys, I've had at least 6 conversations with patrons who tell me they will not likely return after disappointing first visits. And at least half these people were previously fans of 5 guys in other locations.

(Nothing creepy about this freak, lets put some kids in his lap.)

2 adults with 2 young children can expect to drop $40 bucks on this mediocrity. Heck, you can do that lots of places with better product. Not fried on a griddle ala Mickey-Friggin D's. Where is the creepy ass clown?

Now, I would like to think they are just getting warmed up. maybe in a month the fries wont suck and the staff will not be reprimanded with F-Bombs in front of the customers. But I can tell you this......the buzz is not good. Not good at all, sober.

However- And this is a big However......

Lots of people are raving about how good it is when you're drunk. So 5 Guys should do a lot of business in this town. And I positively cannot wait to stumble over there after I slam a few bowls of loudmouth soup to see for myself.

I am here to question the taste of sober people.

5 Guys - Reports from the Front Line

5 Guys is open and getting their feet wet. Good reviews on the burgers. Bad reviews on the soggy fries from multiple sources. Though I say dont judge the fries till the oil is dirty. This place is only 4 days open, so the oil is quite clean.


Our analysts are buying 5 Guys burgers, but selling 5 Guys Fries until the production becomes consistant.

And finally:
Let's try and keep our shift managers from dropping F-Bombs (or profanity in general) while reprimanding employees. (10/2/2008 creepy)

5 Guys is located between 3rd and 4th Streets on Washington Street in Hoboken.

Mini Burgers are the Key to My Mini Heart - Greenwich Village

"Things are just smaller in Greenwich Village", or so they say.

Fiddlesticks Pub & Grille - Sliders, sliders, sliders.

Nothing makes a man feel a greater sense of virility and power than picking up a mini burger and secretly pretending to be a giant while eating it.

Fiddlesticks Pub y Grille is mere steps from the PATH stops at both Christopher and 9th Street stations.

The options on the bar menu include:

"Pulled Pork" sliders
"Turkey Burger" sliders
and of course the classic slider Burger (pictured with monster onion ring)

Decent selection of tap beer, and a large outdoor seating area make Fiddlesticks an easy and fun trip from Hoboken.

5 Guys Burgers and Fries - Welcome to the Jungle

I'm flat stupid with anticipation of the pending opening of 5 Guys Burgers and Fries at 319 Washington Street. I've got my press invite and we're hoping for an exclusive interview with the proprietors when they cut the ribbon. I hope they understand the relatively high expectations around the well hyped powerhouse burger opening.

They key is the peanut oil. Pure and without cholesterol. They cook up famous fries either Five Guys Style or Cajun Style.

Expect a walk up joint with solid ass burgers in your grille.

So fasten your seatbelts, and get ready for a good ole' fashioned burger shootout. I'll be on the case providing up to the moment updates on the progressing oasis of meat.

We're thinking about a taste off between Five Guys and some of the local burger muscle. I like Greenrocks burger on an english muffin. Legizz-nit.

I'm here to inform the burger loving public.

Best burger in town? Really? C'mon.

This is generally a very upbeat sandwich community. But "best burger in town, guaranteed" is a very strong statement. This bold claim has been posted outside of Juniors Papaya in Hoboken for a few months now. Everyone I know who reads that sign laughs. I must refute this claim of greatness.

The people who own Juniors are probably nice folks. Their marketing is just bad. People are not stupid. Not a single patron of your sandwich shop has ever thought your burger was the "best". Neither do you. Please think about that fact when you implore others to appreciate the greatness of your sandwich.

McDonalds does not tell you their food is gourmet. McDonalds simply tells you that "Billions and Billions" have eaten their burgers and not died en masse. It turns out this is all the reinforcement the burger eating public requires.

How do I know the marketing is bad?

A) Juniors is always near empty.
B) There are enough very, very good burgers in this town that people laugh when they read the sign guaranteeing the "best burger in town"
C) Half the people I have walked past this sign with want to know how Juniors might follow through on this guarantee they are offering? Money back?

Seems to me if you are going to be a burger joint in a town with a lot of places to get great burgers you should focus on something concrete.

"Only burger joint at this address, guaranteed!"

or

"Fastest burger in town, guaranteed!"

or
"It's a burger. Guaranteed!

It just seems like you should make it something relatively credible.

I had the burger. It was not worth mentioning, nor was it anywhere near as good as the following establishments:

Greenrock
Brass Rail
O'Niels
Arthurs
Johnny Rockets (cant go there anymore due to the stupid singing)
Gaslight
Madison
Buskers
Mile Square
Hudson Tavern

Not a single one of these places makes outrageous claims. Just better burgers than Juniors Papaya.

Funny thing is that I would eat a mediocre burger if it was convienient, (I eat mediocre burritos all the time - No offense Qdoba) or if the place had world class fries or shakes. I just wont get it from a place that is screaming "best burger in town" at the top of their lungs while they make my mediocre burger.

I am here to protect the sandwich loving public from wildly innacurrate claims.
