DBGB: Sausage & Burgers

dbgb-burgerPopped into DBGB last night for dinner with some old friends.  After looking at the menu I remember that I have a morbidly obese friend who runs a burger website, and decided I should order one of the burgers.  I ordered The Yankee, while a friend of mine took down The Piggie (lol?).  The Yankee was simple, but certainly above average.  Six ounces of beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, VT cheddar & bacon.  The Piggie was slightly more interesting consisting of the same 6 oz. patty, topped with Daisy May’s bbq pulled pork, jalapeno mayonnaise & boston lettuce on a cheddar-cornbread bun with mustard-vinegar slaw.  Both above average, but modest in size.
As my friends and I are all total health nuts & beach season is here, we prefaced our burgers with two orders of sausages.  One sweet, one spicy.  The sweet was named Chipolata – a pork sausage with “pommes mousseline” (mashed potatos)  and summer truffle.  The spicy goes by Toscane – a pan roasted Italian sausage with tomato, chili and garlic.  Not ideal if you plan on making out right after dinner, but tasty nonetheless.
Wine and beers are moderately priced and DBGB is definitely worth returning to.

Buns of the Day- Kara Dioguardi

Kara Dioguardi Buns of the Day

WWTDD.com- People seem to really dislike ‘American Idol’ Kara Dioguardi, but I’m not sure why. She seems okay to me. The key is to never watch ‘American Idol’ and have no idea what it is she does exactly. Then when she gets naked for the new ‘Allure’ magazine (full size here), you can approach the image with no bias. My heart comes without judgment, so I can view the picture for its artistic merit. I’m an amazing man!

Jake’s Place: Darien, CT

2010-03-20 11.47.44

I met JL for a man lunch with some jolly ole fellows (one of which looks like a hot italian sausage with block feet).

Right of the Exit 10 off of I-95 is Darien’s best kept secret for Burger’s and fries, Jake’s Place.

The owner is very friendly and a town favorite and from what I hear, an avid Yankees fan.

The Cheeseburger today was topped with American Cheese, 3 Alarm pepepprs (also seen on the 3 Alarm Cheesesteak which is another PHENOMENAL item on the menu.  Don’t be scared!) and a sesame seed bun lightly toasted.

The above photo should not be confused with the “Jakes Burger”.  Which is a burger, inside a grilled cheese, with coleslaw and russian dressing.  In other words, a cheeseburger I could settle down and watch romantic comedies with.

This burger is a SOLID chargrilled staple and worth a pit-stop off of I-95 when passing through the TRI-State area or roaming around town on a Saturday afternoon.’

USMAGAZINE.com- Although many stars have turned to in vitro fertilization to conceive, Jennifer Lopez never considered it an option — and says she never will.

“When it comes to family and relationships, I’m quite traditional,” the star, 40, tells the February issue of Elle magazine. “Just because of the way I was raised. And I also believe in God and I have a lot of faith in that, so I just felt like you don’t mess with things like that.”
