[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)

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.

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!)
