“Break from the Norm” Burgers: Del Frisco’s, Ruby’s, Great Jones Cafe

By The NYC Food Guy

In this “burger obssessed age“, where beef on a bun is the restaurant industry’s lone recession-proof dish, NYC Food Guy is here to shed some light on three burgers that are a break from the normal fare.  One’s both beauty and beast, one’s from Down Under and the last is just a heart-stopper.  Read on for three different takes on an American classic…

Beauty & The Beast

10 oz. Prime Burger ($15.95, served at lunch only) with cheddar, lettuce, tomato & onion

Del Frisco’s Double Eagle Steak House

1221 6th Avenue at 49th Street

New York, NY 10020

If you’re looking to eat a beast of a burger in a beautiful atmosphere, Del Frisco’s burger is for you.  The burger arrived topped with sharp cheddar and complementary sugar-cured bacon which had been slow-cooked 4 hours.  The slightly-sweet bun was lightly toasted but remained airy and soft.

As a steak house burger, the sweet flavor of the beef shined through foremost, so much so that ketchup isn’t really necessary.   The fresh-tasting 10 ounce patty arrived a perfectly cooked to order medium rare but the slow-cooked bacon stole the show. It was incredibly savory and melted in your mouth, some of the finest bacon I’ve tasted.

The mildly sharp cheddar offered a flavor that didn’t meld with the clean-tasting burger.  The bun also had issues,  it was too flimsy to stand up to the juiciness of a burger this size.  As you can see below, the burger overtook the bun resulting in final bites that were all burger and no bread.

At $11.95 per order, the onion rings are sweet and crispy but unnecessary.  They failed to enhance the burger when placed on top and eaten in the sandwich and they stole valuable stomach space.  The homemade potato chips were similarly defeating, arriving room temperature and lacking any purpose of flavor.  Steer clear of both, in addition to the complementary bread offered at the beginning of the meal, if you want to get your moneys worth with the burger.

The Australian Burger

Whaleys ($12.50) Premium ground beef, tomato, lettuce, beet, pineapple, fried egg, ketchup

Bronte ($11) Premium ground beef, tomato, lettuce, sweet chili, mayo, cheese

Ruby’s Cafe & Bar

219 Mulberry Street b/t Spring St. & Prince St.

New York, NY 10012

212-925-5755

This easy-to-miss, 4-table Australian bar and cafe offers 5 types of burgers, two with chicken breast, in addition to some interesting pastas, paninis, salads and breakfast until 1pm.  No French fries or chips are offered.  The Whaleys, seen below, is the most unique burger on the menu but it’s diverse ingredients didn’t create any harmony around the meatloaf-like burger.

More aptly described as a massive meat sandwich, the Whaleys arrives on a crisp but untoasted ciabatta roll which hardly hugs the cumbersome ingredients.  It’s awkward texturally and poorly constructed, the entire sandwiched dominated by the sweetness of the pineapple and ketchup cut against the garlicky beef patty. The overcooked fried egg repelled from the burger and the cold beets, tomato and pineapple continued to detract from the overall unity.  Only the accompanying mixed greens salad dressed in a savory balsamic vinaigrette shined.

The Bronte burger (below), made famous at Kingswood, another Australian restaurant owned by Ruby’s proprietors, was more in tune overall.  Sweet chili sauce and mayo rest atop two slices of melted Swiss cheese which keeps the burger tied to the ciabatta.  I recommend this burger, which may be better as a chicken breast sandwich, over the Whaleys.

If I return to Ruby’s, it would be to pair a non-burger offering with one of their three Australian beers: James Boag, Coopers and Lucky.  Lucky ($7), which comes in a Buddha shaped bottle, was delicious, reminiscent of a lighter, more bubbly Red Stripe.

The Heart-Stopper

Chili Bacon Cheeseburger ($16)

Great Jones Cafe

54 Great Jones Street b/t Lafayette St. & Bowery

New York, NY 10012

(212) 674-9304

 My first impression: “Wow, I am a carnivore.”  This meat-lover’s burger, served in the cozy, dimly lit confines of this friendly bar and restaurant delivers 3 slices of well-crisped bacon and a light coating of “Mission” beef chili (beef, red beans, celery) crowned atop a massive, griddled beef patty.  It’s all sandwiched between an airy yet sturdy bun from Parisi bakery, the top half of which a healthy amount of cheddar is melted upon.

Overall this massive burger lacked the flavor punch one would hope for.  The juicy yet slightly overcooked burger would have benefited from a nice charbroiling, the flavor of smoke and fire would have added some much needed depth.  The bacon was superfluous, hearty but standard.  The “Mission” beef chili, one of a rotating menu of chili, was mild and thin.  After failing to create the spice I desired by adding some El Yucateco habanero hot sauce, I requested some chopped green jalapenos to add onto the burger.  The flavor of the peppers was a nice touch, but the spicy bite I desired to complement the sweetness of the bun, was missing.

Opt for the sweet potato fries, some of the best I’ve had, over the hand-cut fries below.  The sweet potato fries cut through the saltiness of the chili cheese burger but the heavily-salted regular hand-cut fries, made from a darker potato than your standard Idaho, didn’t complement the burger quite as well.   They would, however, make a great base for chili cheese fries.

I’d just as soon return to Great Jones Cafe to drink as I would to sample some of their other reasonably priced home-cooked offerings such as the Barbque Ribs or the Garlic Shrimp Sautee. A new menu of daily specials accompanies the quality beer menu, which during Happy Hour (5-7PM Daily) allows you to enjoy a $3 pint while listening to Bluegrass on the old school jukebox.

What brought you to New York?
I was actually born & raised in Forest Hills, Queens. After moving around NYC for a bit in my early-mid 20s, I found there really is no place like home, so I bought a place and moved back to Forest Hills.

What do you love about living in New York?
Gosh, what’s there not to love, as corny as that sounds. There’s the culture, the love, the people, the food, the energy… and best of all, where else can you decide at 2 am that you want pierogies and just go out and get them, no question? Seriously, though, the energy is just awesome, it keeps you pumped, excited, and ready to go for more. There’s a real hunger in the air for not just food, but for knowledge, for fun, for the next big thing…

What do you think makes a New Yorker?
The ability to walk nonchalantly across a busy New York street, narrowly get missed by a speeding cab, stop, shake your fist after it, and scream properly, “Hey! I’m WALKIN’ hea!” Honestly, I don’t know. It’s something innate that not everyone has, and some people never will.

When you leave New York, what do you miss the most?
Definitely the energy. There’s nothing like it in the whole world, not that I’ve discovered anyway. The city that never sleeps, the vibrant wakefulness you can feel at 3 am and how you just know there’s always an adventure just around the corner. On a more personal, specific level, though, I miss my own bed and my dog the most when I travel. Neither ever disappoints, a good comfy snuggle with both is just the best after a long flight. Or at the end of a roadtrip, yeah, I’m sad that another great trip is coming to an end, but that moment when the car or bus or whatever is coming close to the city, that first glimpse you get of the skyline – be it daytime or nighttime – that one always just makes me suck in my breath a little and go, “Oh,” and that’s why I will never move from NYC.

Best tips, tricks or insider info?
Be open minded to new experiences. Even if you think you hate a cuisine or type of food, spend some time figuring out why – is it the texture of a food? Maybe it’s better raw than cooked, or vice versa. Is it the combination of spices? If so, you probably really can’t get into that cuisine if you just flat out don’t like the taste of their spices, but try cuisines of their neighboring countries; it should be similar but not quite the same, and maybe ease your way back into the one that offended you in the first place. Try stuff you don’t like again, every so often, because tastebuds change and you may just find yourself suddenly loving that which you didn’t like originally. Seriously – be open minded. There’s a reason somewhere, people love what you hate. Food is enjoyed and savored in countries across the world, there isn’t one whole country or culture anywhere that completely views eating only as a necessity and not to be enjoyed. Try to find something new you like every day – it might be a challenge but what a fun one!

Best corny tourist attraction that you secretly love?
Central Park.

Best place to dine late night?
Anywhere in the East Village for a quick snack, or a diner in Queens for something more sit-down and drunken.

Last cultural thing that you did (movie, museum, theatre, etc…)
In the past month: cheese & wine tastings and classes; press events for various food-related items; the last baseball game at Shea Stadium; Target Free Friday nights at the MoMA.

Strangest/Coolest NY experience you have ever had?
Walking from Central Park starting at midnight, down to the Brooklyn Bridge and standing at the midway point, trying to watch the sunrise, on a chilly August night.

Best area or neighborhood for fine food on a budget?
Hmmm that depends on what you mean by “fine.” If you just mean good, then Queens, I would say Jackson Heights has a lot of good, inexpensive options depending on what your tastebuds like, though I haven’t fully explored the area yet. If you mean slightly upscale/trendy, that’s a harder call, but I think Forest Hills offers a lot in the way of options, though I’m still feeling out a few places to try to get a better idea of what they’re about. There are some solid options that I’ve stumbled on and seem to be very promising, while other places are surely best forgotten. Stay tuned…

Best way to spot a food trend?
Really, just keep your eyes peeled and tuned to the scene: go out and eat a lot, and often, at all the latest places, and keep up to date on the blogs and other online foodie information sources. I’m not that into trendy eating, so something has to be fairly obvious before I notice it…

Final Thoughts?
The most important thing, I think, is to never take yourself or your food too seriously, or it loses its fun. Just have fun and if it tastes good, eat it. If it doesn’t, be polite about it. NEVER say “EWWW” to anyone else’s food – that is the rudest thing a person can say to anyone. Just accept that not everything is for you, and move on… there is no need to insult other people or their food choices. Food is deeply personal, just like religion and politics. Seriously though – just have fun!

Tell us about your blog: My friends always make fun of me because I’m the guy who has to write letters to anyone who writes a book or newspaper article to give them my two cents. A blog is kind of the same thing, only I don’t actually have to bother someone to give my opinion.

Also, it’s safe to say that I’m addicted to reading random articles buried deep in the newspaper that most folks don’t get to. Occasionally, I’ll email out those articles to friends, and I’m always amazed at how much people enjoy getting them from me. Sometimes I think they’re just being polite and really send those emails straight to their spam folder, but in case they’re not, I like the idea of having a blog so that I can share more of that kind of stuff without getting annoying.

What brought you to New York?

I’m actually from just across the river in Jersey City. I was born and raised there. From the street corner of my highschool downtown you could look one direction to see the twin towers and another to see the Statue of Liberty.

What do you love about living in New York?

The food. I was in the Army for five years and got to live in places like Germany, Kosovo, Iraq, Korea and Kentucky. Each place has its own local specialties that are awesome, but everything else is garbage (try eating pizza in the south). New York has all of the good stuff from everywhere else all in one spot.

What do you think makes a New Yorker?

The never quit spirit. I’ve worked with people from everywhere around the world, and hands down, pretty much every New Yorker that I know will never take “no” for an answer. I can’t say the same for everyone else.

What surprises you about New York or New Yorkers?

It’s a small world. There’s millions of people in a very small area, but we’re all on top of each other, so it’s inevitable that we cross paths so often.

When you leave New York, what do you miss the most?

The traffic! Ok, not really. When I leave I miss my family the most because they played such a large role in my life growing up. I’m something like 24th generation Italian-American. If there was an Italian on the Mayflower, he was probably a relative of mine. So, I’ve got a million cousins that live all over the NY area. It killed me not seeing them all of the time while I was living overseas with the Army.

Best tips, tricks or insider info. for Green living?

I think it’s safe to say that 99% of the population isn’t willing to give up their creature comforts to save the planet. I can’t really blame them. Beyond trying to tell people to at least do little things that will cumulatively make a big difference we are working to change the system and encourage people to think differently. When looking for an apartment, a house, or a building always tell your realtor that you would like more green options. That will get the message out to the building industry to build greener.

Chicago’s Take Five Pledge is something everyone can do to make a difference.

1. Change four of the most commonly used lights in a house to compact fluorescent lightbulbs.
2. Turn off the water while you’re brushing your teeth.
3. Replace one car trip a month with biking or public transit.
4. Plant ONE tree.
5. Stop using plastic shopping bags.

None of these things require much effort, but if everyone did them it would add up. If everyone in NYC did just the first thing on the list it would be the equivalent of taking something like 160,000 cars off the road.

Best piece of local history that you secretly love?

The Dutch first visited the Hudson River in the early 1600’s. In the 1970’s, my father was a motorcycle cop in Jersey City. There was a bad storm and it washed away part of the Palisades to reveal an old Dutch catacomb that they had tunneled into the cliffs. Some kids discovered it, went inside, and found a bunch of Dutch bodies that had been buried in there that were encased in lead to prevent the spread of disease. The kids took one of the entombed bodies and carried it outside and broke it open (boys will be boys). Inside was a perfectly preserved, blond hair, blue eyed little girl.

Since it happened in Jersey City, no one really cared about it. The city dug a hole by some nearby railroad tracks and buried the body. They then filled in the entrance to the catacomb with cement. It’s still there, you just can’t get inside.

I love to walk from my house to that spot and hope that someday the powers that be will knock down the cement wall and go back inside and preserve what’s left in there. You can’t find history much older than that in the US. It’s been sitting there for 400 years, so at least it’s not going anywhere.

Best place to dine late night?

I’ve always loved Mike’s Papaya in Manhattan. They have $.25 hotdogs and my friends and I always find our way over there at the end of the night. After drinking, I’d happily pay $10 for the same thing and not care.

Best live music venue?

Liberty State Park in Jersey City. It’s right on the water overlooking Manhattan, Hudson Bay, and the Statue of Liberty. It really doesn’t get better than that.

Last cultural thing that you did (movie, museum, theatre, etc…)

I can’t even remember. I’m terrible with “culture” although I wish that I wasn’t. If I visit another city, I’ll go see all of their cultural attractions because I know that I might not be back for a while. In NY, I manage to tell myself “I’ll do that next weekend,” but never get around to it. I went to a Yankee game in the spring if that counts.

Best people watching?

Anywhere near the water. Folks like to go walking there so you can see lots of people that way.

Best ways to make old NYC apt. buildings energy efficient?

The average house and apartment building in the NY area is very old compared to the rest of the country. The good news is that old places there are generally smaller than modern places, which means they have less space to heat in the winter or cool in the summer.

However, old places are also terribly inefficient. Air sealing is the most cost effective way to fix the problem. By that, I mean filling in all of the little gaps and cracks around a house (around windows, doors, etc.) that let air leak to the outside. It’s cheap to do because it usually doesn’t require much more than a caulk gun, and just about anyone can do it. The best part is it’ll make a place way more comfortable because it’ll reduce drafts in the winter.

In a world of “enviro friendly” products, what is worth the money and what is clever marketing? How do we spot the difference?

I actually named our company Everblue because I was sick of seeing so much green marketing and wanted to try out a new color. Nowadays, they’re practically advertising gasoline as green, so it can be confusing to know what’s good and what’s garbage.
Generally, any gizmo that claims to cut your energy bill by 80% is a bunch of crap. The same holds true for any other product – if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. A good way to determine if something is legit is to ask whether it’s backed by an authority in the field such as Energy Star, which is a government sponsored energy efficiency program. Usually products have to undergo independent testing to get those certifications, so it’s more than someone just re-branding the same old stuff and calling it “green.”

What are you doing to “green” up your world?

Tell us all about it!

You might be a hipster if, like Lola Wakefield, your research into this fascinating culture of indie rock fans, thrift store shoppers, and vegetarians, painted a picture of, well, you. Lola began writing Stuff Hipsters Don’t Like after moving to Williamsburg and hoping to try and document these strange skinny, night owls who never seem to work, only to discover she may actually be one. “’Oh the ridiculous hipsters,’ I would think to myself, smiling on the inside,” Lola explains. “But then something unexpected happened – I began to encounter people who described me – ME!- as a hipster. ‘Nonsense,’ I thought. But I began to worry that what they said was true.” Join Lola on her journey of self discovery and mocking on this biting and “hip” blog.

Tell us about your blog. It all began the second day I was living in New York. The guy I was subletting from introduced me to one of his friends who took me to the free movie screening of A Wet Hot American Summer at McCarren Pool. I was amazed because I had never in my life seen so many hipsters in one contained location before. I decided then and there that, lacking another writing outlet or any sort of employment for that matter, I would devote my literary energy to documenting hipsters in Williamsburg.

There was also the matter of my pseudo identity crisis, which I like to refer to as “My Hipster Dilemma.” Some people will tell me definitively that I am a hipster, citing various compelling reasons, while others assure me I am not. I got the conflicting responses when I was living in Ann Arbor, but it’s 10 times as bad in Williamsburg, leading me to believe I am, and probably always will, be a hipster fence-sitter. So, in making the decision to study the hipsters of Williamsburg, I embarked on a mission to learn about myself and what it really means to be a “hipster.”

What brought you to New York?

Journalism. The better question is, “What brought you to Williamsburg?”
I was talking to my friend who went to the Parson’s New School about what part of Brooklyn was best to live in. “What about Williamsburg?” I asked. “Ew, no. That place is crawling with hipsters,” she replied. Of course I started searching Craigslist the very next day.

What do you love about living in New York?

Everything. Throughout my youth, I’ve always been discontent with how slow things move, how boring people are, and how few options there always seem to be. I don’t have any of those complaints here, and I’ve never been happier.

What do you think makes a New Yorker?

New Yorkers are completely desensitized to the non-stop weirdness that happens around them. I’m pretty sure if you teleported one to a small town in Kansas or something, the displaced New Yorker would appear catatonic to the townspeople, while a small-towner from Kansas teleported to New York would be startled by everything and immediately have a seizure.

New Yorkers are constantly networking and seem to know everyone. At first I would walk around aimlessly, not recognizing a single face, but now when I walk down Bedford avenue, I get greetings both from people I have legitimately befriended and also the odd “Hey, Blogger Girl!” Also, New Yorkers are used to getting dripped on when it is not raining, whereas non-New Yorkers are alarmed by that.

What surprises you about New York or New Yorkers?

For how many people there are in this big city, I still find myself marveling at those “What a small world it is” moments. Before I moved, I figured that living here I would see people once and never again.

When you leave New York, what do you miss the most?

I haven’t left yet, and don’t expect to any time soon.

Best tips, tricks or insider info?

Hipsters are not as mean as they appear to be. In fact, it’s the ones who look the most intimidating (eg: angular haircuts, meaningless tattoos) that are the biggest softies. Though, this only applies if you don’t act like a total douchebag when you approach them.

Best corny tourist attraction that you secretly love?

Does McCarren Park count? Probably only for hipster tourists, but whatev. I actually enjoy going to most of the hipster stomping grounds that I write about. That’s why my job is awesome. I get to go out and have a great time partying with hipsters (who definitely know how to party) and get great material for my blog.

Best place to dine late night?

The Charleston or the Alligator Lounge. Both of those places give you a free personal pizza when you order a beer – which is not overpriced like I expected. I mean, I like beer, I like pizza, everybody likes FREE stuff. It’s a triple-win situation!

Best live music venue?

Well is WAS the McCarren Park Pool Parties, no doubt, but the hipsters kind of messed that one up by letting the anti-gentrification yuppies dominate the City Council meetings. Now, I would have to say the Mercury Lounge, although that’s not in Williamsburg. Hipsters seem to like the grungy basement of The Charleston as well.

Last cultural thing that you did (movie, museum, theatre, etc…)

I participated in the Mr. and Miss Williamsburg Pageant. What’s more American that good ol’ fashioned pageantry, right? That was pretty much a circus, but fun nonetheless.

Best kept secret (shop / restaurant / attraction) in your neighborhood?

I am fearful of disclosing this information, as it’s usually pretty relaxed when I go there late at night and I don’t want it to become overrun by hipsters in search of “cool.” But Maracuja on Grand Street is the best place ever. Everything aesthetic about the place is perfect and it’s run by this adorable couple who seem to still be completely infatuated with each other. They bartend, cook, play good music and are awesome to talk to. There’s also really good group seating and a magical garden in back.

Best cheap fashion steals?

BEACON’S CLOSET. You can find really hot designer dresses that still have their $300 price tags on being sold for $30. The catch is, that stuff is mixed in with the Forever21 and Urban stuff too, so you have to really dig. Also, I would say the Salvation Armies all over Brooklyn and Manhattan. Screw elitist assholes who say they’re dirty and stuff; those places are treasure troves!

Strangest New York moment?

When my blog stalker showed up to my work with gin and a bag of candy.

Favorite NY irony?

*That nobody from Williamsburg is actually from Williamsburg. It’s like a big University where the curriculum is sleeping until 4, drinking Bloody Marys and being unemployed!

*That you can’t buy liquor and chasers in the same store! I don’t know why but this one really confuses me.

FoodMayhem creators Jessica Lee and Lon Binder met in early 2006 and bonded over their mutual love of New York, travel, and of course, food! Two and half years later, they are married and eagerly blogging about the good, the bad, and the most unusual aspects of the New York culinary scene. Check out FoodMayhem before your next journey into the chaotic city foodscape!

Tell us about your blog: what is the premise, what are your main coverage
areas, how did you get started? FoodMayhem is all about food, cooking food, buying food, dining in, dining out, snacking, kitchens, chefs, cookbooks, anything food related is fair game. The idea is to share our love of food with everyone, and we hope that our experiences can help other people. The blog started out as a journal for ourselves to remember our dining experiences, good or bad, but apparently people wanted to read it.

What brought you to New York?

We both grew up in NY.

What do you love about living in New York?

We love the availability of different foods in NY, both in terms of ethnic groceries and markets and a wide variety of restaurants. Personally, I (Jessica) love living in NY because I hate cars and sitting in traffic. This city is so walkable!

What do you think makes a New Yorker?

A New Yorker is someone living in NY, who realizes that NY is a melting pot of every type of person. So a true New Yorker doesn’t try to fit a mold.

What surprises you about New York or New Yorkers?

I don’t think anything about New Yorkers surprises us since we both grew up here.

When you leave New York, what do you miss the most?

Pizza, bagels, and constant, diverse availability of everything.

Best tips, tricks or insider info?

Never go to a restaurant on Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day!

Best corny tourist attraction that you secretly love?

Rockefeller Center and Wollman Rink…we both grew up as competitive figure skaters (coincidentally).

Best place to dine late night?

Korea Town (a row of restaurants on 32nd Street between 5th and 6th Avenue) has many 24-hour restaurants and the East Village is usually hopping late night too.

Last cultural thing that you did (movie, museum, theatre, etc…)

Movie – Batman

Best restaurant for people watching?

BLT Steak, Pastis, Nobu…There’s tons in NYC but we’re the wrong people to ask. When we’re at a restaurant, we’d rather not be too crowded and the only person we’d like to see, is the chef.

Best area or neighborhood for international cuisine?

Different ethnic foods tend to group into areas like Chinatown, Korea Town, Little Japan, Indian Row, Spanish Harlem, etc. but the East Village seems to have the widest variety.

Best way to spot a tourist trap?

My first instinct is to say if you see too many cameras, but that could be tourists or food bloggers, haha…and if it’s a lot of food bloggers, it may be a great spot.

Best Brunch spot?

Bouley for a fancy brunch (the type of place you take your girlfriend’s mother to impress her) or Dim Sum at Jade Asian Restaurant or Dong Yi Feng (both in Flushing).
