Week in Reviews: Best Bites (The Burgers and Dogs Edition)

  • Flushing's Imperial Palace, "deep-fried chicken with minced shrimp makes an excellent mid-meal snack... crisp and soft at once, a marvel of technical cooking." [Sifton; NYT]
  • Bill's Bar & Burger (you may have heard of it) makes "a tender, juicy, mouthwatering, remarkably flavorful old-fashioned burger." [Raisfeld & Patronite; NYM]
  • At Brooklyn Bowl, whose menu "begs over-ordering," the "San Gennaro, loaded with finely ground Italian sausage, is the Johnny Petraglia of French-bread pizzas." [Paumgarten; New Yorker]
  • The pickle dog at "eco-friendly hipster hang" Bark "comes with an assortment of house cucumber pickles--some sweet, some sour--arranged geometrically across the slit in the bun, which opens on the top, like a lobster roll. Squiggles of mustard and mayo further the flavor." [Sietsema; VV]
  • Richman authors the lone dissenting opinion on Bill's: "This was not perfection. This was not the best burger in New York. This was not even a good burger." [Richman; GQ]
  • A Voce Columbus is "a complement to—not a clone of—the first," succeeding wildly with dishes like "butter-soaked ricotta gnocchi that are so ethereal, you may fool yourself into believing they're not sodden with calories, and so flavorful—with briny bottarga, zucchini coins and squash blossom petals—you won't care if they are." [Cheshes; TONY]
