It’s still early, I know, but I have to share this with you…
A friend took me to a place called Five Napkin Burger last night for dinner. I prepared by eating a lowfat yogurt for breakfast and a light salad for lunch. Still, by the end of our meal, I practically rolled my ass back up to the Bronx.
The layout of Five Napkin Burger, which is located on 9th avenue and 46th street, is very much like the open dinning room space at The Odeon downtown. The service was indifferent but not rude, the vibe hip but not edgy. The place was filled with yuppies, buppies and well-dressed gay men.
Smart pop music is piped into the three neat, individual bathrooms. It’s hard not to feel like you are in a music-video as you pee. It has that kind of self-conscious, provocative feel. I thought I was in a movie, and also wished my wife was with me so I could have my way with her right then and there.
Instead I had my way with this, the original five napkin burger (photo courtesy of Time Out New York):
Dude, believe it. Hellacious. And it tastes even better than it looks. Cruel and unusual to post this picture, I know, but I could not resist. Oh, and if you like cheesecake, the light, fluffy kind, uh, well yeah, that’s slammin’ too.

There was that Men at Work song, "Who can go pee now?"
[0] "Chow Hound" is one of my favorite cartoons...
"What, no gravy?"
"This time, I didn't forget the gravy"
After eating there last night, I wish I could just run a four-second loop of the dog on the table, "no, no, no, no"
thats some nice food porn right there.
[1] Ha!
Who can it be peeing at my door?
Go away... don't come 'round here no more...
[0] I've quoted this cartoon in past threads, often. I'll bet very few got it til now (or at least your context was much clearer >;)
That is a classic cartoon.
We have a place here in Arlington called Ray’s Hell Burger. It’s an offshoot of a steak place next door. The owner knows his beef, and they grind it fresh right behind the counter. All kinds of cheese, from regular old American to fancy pants stinky French stuff. Bone marrow, etc. Good food, cheap. But alas, Obama and Biden grabbed lunch there a few months back and it’s been beyond mobbed ever since.
I had the Lamb Kofta burger the last time I went.
Holy crap! Sooooo delicious!
I want one right now. Thanks.
Dammit, I was gonna have chicken nuggets for lunch today, but now... >;)
[1] Oh, God, Diane!
Uncle!

(Sorry, couldn't resist.)

Note to self . . . if invited to Alex's apartment, pay close attention to the layout and amenities of the bathroom. :-)
[14] :)
LOL... I don't know...it just seemed like one of those bathrooms that'd be fun to fool around in...seemed like it was practically inviting that kind of behavior. Not that Emily is into that sort of thing, actually she isn't. But hey, a man's got to have his fantasies.
LOL
