Glad I don't own Soho Park and their crappy overpriced burgers.

Oh hell yeah!

But: what's with not eating the casing? That's the best part!

Everyone keeps talking about this story but no one ever posts the damn recipe! What is it?!? I need this bad.

I've no plans to call on you, Clarice. The world is more interesting with you in it.

And for anyone looking for a boyfriend, I have all of the joys of Brad Pitt.

I really think the best bbq sauce I've made is from the Barefoot Contessa. Not the first person I would have looked for with a BBQ sauce, but it's great. A bit expensive with a lot of ingredients, but it's really great. Sweet with honey and hoisin- best for bbq'ed chicken:

1 1/2 cups chopped yellow onion (1 large onion)
1 tablespoon minced garlic (3 cloves)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 cup tomato paste (10 ounces)
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup honey
1/2 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 cup Dijon mustard
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 cup hoisin sauce
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Wow- thanks for all the tips, guys! I work down the street from Chinatown and I've looked into getting them down there but never followed through. Usually get an odd look when you say that you need 6 dozen. Maybe this will be the year. Lindy's sounds great too!
I second the Hadfield's recommendation- always my go-to stop when I'm passing through! And thanks Scarletini- I'm probably out of range, but good luck with the crabbing!

Good lord. How did you order that burger?

Grains are non-kosher? WTF? Is this some sort of anti-egyptian thing?

Artisanal Beards.

That's great and all, but the consistent and grating obnoxious-ness of the staff at this place makes buying anything there strictly prohibitive. This used to be my go-to morning coffee stop, but I finally had enough. And Balthazar Bakery is a block away.
Why some twentysomething clown who makes coffee all day thinks they are entitled to any kind of attitude is beyond me.

Actually, that looks terrible.
