Life is promising when it's filled with butter. And when the butter is sprinkled with sea salt and it's all so creamy and scrumptious, you know your meal is going to be ree-dic-u-lous. My sister and I were at Daniel Boulud's DBGB restaurant last week. And I couldn't stop eating the butter.
Oh yes, it came with soft and fluffy and delicious bread. But the butter, my friends! The butter. What's next? Meat. Lots of it. Links, bangers, saucisses, wieners, whatever you please.
And my sister was pleased by her choice of the chipolata sausage with egg, hash browns and frisee salad. Maybe it looks like a simple meal here, but it was packed with a stunning amount of, how do you say? Delicioso. And if every diner in New York served these so-called hash browns, it would be a stunning feat of potato. Stunning.
Along the same plane of stunning feats was this. The Piggie. A 6-ounce beef patty topped with Daisy May's bbq pulled pork, jalapeno mayonnaise and Boston lettuce on a cheddar-cornbread bun with mustard-vinegar slaw. What?! Pork on top of my beef? Slathered in holy juiciness? I loved this. And what I loved was that this was the perfect size burger for me. It was packed to the brim with flavor, it was drippy, it was spicy, it was intensely smoky, and yet, I somehow managed to eat the whole thing without dying.
The french fries. Pretty, pretty. Yes, yes.
I eat you. I eat all of you.

Salted butter has so much more flavor! I just stocked up on Kosher salt (3lbs.!) Brining four whole 4-1/2lb. chickens for the smoker! Two racks of baby back pork ribs getting smoked that day, also!
Lordy that's a red burger. couldn't eat that.
but i could the fries, with lots of butter.
buffalodick--wow, sounds like a meaty day!
tanya kristine--fries with butter! i like it.
The butter thing made me laugh and here's why: at a recent food event, this lady was selling her new "diet" book. She told us that the secret to weight loss is to eat the butter...but only the butter. No bread, no dinner, no drinks. Now, I love butter, but there must be bread too! Crazy lady.
