[Pursuit: 6 Cents ] DBGB
Wow this has been a heavy food week! I apologize for all the heavy food posts. I swear, onto more puppies and tuneage and other stuff soon. Until then.
I want to give my brief weigh in on Daniel Boulud’s new joint in the Avalon monstrosity on Bowery (229 Bowery) called DBGB.
Going on = zero expectations. His truffle burger is legendary, but an entire joint? I thought it would be like the Burger Joint @ Le Parker Meridian had a baby with an insincere frenchman, it just wouldn’t make sense. And some of the menu is like that - displaced (although still good quality) in a restaurant that’s menu is clearly driven by 3 things: beer, burgers & sausage. The latter knocking it out of the park.
Some standouts:
- Spicy Crab Cake
- Matzoh Ball Soup
- Grilled Octopus
- Eggplant Caviar
- Duck meatballs
- Crispy Lamb Ribs
- Mackerel & Capers Tartine
- Piggie Burger (have to get at least one, this is the best!)
- And most importantly…any and all sausages our fav was Viennoise
I didn’t get to try the regular DBGB dog, but it looked tasty. Full menu here.
Order beer. This is definitely a beer joint. Their list is good and affordable (mostly $7 drafts)
