Photo of the Day: White Truffles and Fried Egg Burger from Village Whiskey

Pairing the truffles with a fried egg is a great idea. In fact, why not leave the poor burger out of it entirely? No one will be able to taste it under all that extra fat and flavor anyway.

Mozzarella Stick-Topped Burger from Red Robin

Not only is that disgusting culinarily speaking, but the name "Wise Guy" is disgusting cultural-sensitivityly speaking.

AHT Poll: What Type of Mustard is Best on a Burger?

Does the "H" in AHT stand for "hot dog"? Otherwise I don't get why mustard is being discussed at all.

Strongly-flavored condiments mask the taste of the beef. This is why so many come standard at McDonald's.

Leave them in the fridge.

I've been away too long, 'cause that sure don't look like the N 12th I remember.

McDonald's Giving Out Free Angus Burgers in Select Cities This Sunday

Kinda nice to see evidence that a McD's promo item is tanking. There must be a warehouse of frozen patties someplace full to bursting. Gross.

If I Could Only Eat at One NYC Pizzeria (Other Than Di Fara), What Would It Be?

Coal oven is always nice, but in my mind "classic NYC" pizza isn't from a coal oven, despite Lombardi's. In fact, your best bet to get a traditional slice, a sicilian slice, and a grandma slice is, well, just about any corner pizza joint.

All that said, I haven't been to Sac's, but this photo and write-up makes me want to head to Astoria during my next trip back east.

AHT Poll: What Drink Goes Best With a Burger?

It's got to be beer, indeed.

The funny thing is the range of options available for the soda drinkers in this survey, while us beer drinkers are stuck with "BEER." I mention it because between say an MGD and a Coke, I'd probably choose a Coke.

AHT Poll: What Cheese Do You Like Most on Your Burger?

There's something about the funk of Swiss that goes so well with beef. It's the only time I really prefer Swiss. I'm much more of a Cheddar man, really. (That would be my number-two choice, no doubt.)

After All These Years: V&T Pizzeria

@klg19 Koronet not worth discussing? Hey, it may not be great, but it's freakin' huge! That must make it discussion worthy, at least. :)

AHT Poll: What Condiments Do You Like on Your Burger?

I chose none, and on a perfect burger, that's my answer. But there's plenty of wiggle room when faced with overcooked, tasteless, juiceless monsters. In those cases, pretty much anything handy that will make the thing palatable is acceptable and welcome.

@adam: thanks for taking the time to reply to my clearly boneheaded comment which you can't even see thanks to a "slice" symbol that is actually an interrupted code. groan.

That reminds me. Are the I <) NY T-shirts still available anywhere? Or will they be again?

Slice Poll: Crust, Sauce, or Toppings?

It's gotta be the sauce, especially once you leave the northeast. I don't know what it is out here in the Midwest, but it seems pizza chefs (and most of the eaters) go by the "add more spices and cook the crap out of it" credo when it comes to "perfecting" the sauce. If it ain't fresh and simple, get it away from me.

Slice Poll: How Many Slices Do You Eat?

I registered four as well. I had New York City-style slices in mind--the kind they pull from the big pie behind the glass. Of course, the type of pizza is just the question, though. For a Minnesota pie, for example, I can eat the whole square-cut, cheese-laden mess, but why the hell would I want to?

And, naturally, the question asked how many i CAN eat, not how many I normally do or should eat. That's probably closer to two.

@kaszeta were they rude? that's a bummer. Punch is some of the best pizza around here.

Slice Poll: How Often Do You Eat Pizza?

Yeah, less than once a week . . . since moving to Minnesota from NYC, because really, why bother eating less than stellar pizza? But back east, easily twice a week. And back in high school? Every day, at least two slices.

OMG, WANT: Colony Grill Pizza, Stamford, Connecticut

That's a pretty spot-on photo, Mad Ernie. So looks must be deceiving to the uninitiated in bar pie delight. Because that's some good eatin'.

OMG, WANT: Colony Grill Pizza, Stamford, Connecticut

Wow, the instant I saw the pic, I knew that was Colony. I haven't been in years, but it's freakin' fantastic--the cousin (with a thyroid condition) to Eddie's of New Hyde Park on Long Island.

Get the Zipcar. Hit Eddie's AND Colony. It'd be a great day.
