Dear Burger Boy,

As I sat down for an early New Years eve meal with my burger babe at DGBG, I decided to txt the Burger boy to see if he had any thoughts on French restaurateur Daniel Boulud’s newest addition. As I expected I got an almost instantaneous and informative response: “Frenchie or Piggy?”

Ahhh of course the Burger Boy had been to DGBG to try their feature burgers and of course he didn’t include the third, ironically more boring and simple burger in his response, “The Yankee”; well met Boulud, well met indeed… “The Yankee” with a plain lettuce, tomato, and onion topping is an overpriced (~$20) child of a burger and is not worth consideration (I may be over thinking it a bit here…).

So, while I hate to give anything French a positive review, “The Frenchie’s” perfectly sized patty, crispy pork belly topping, and homemade mustard atop a slightly peppered bun is amazing. “The Piggy” sports a pulled pork and jalapeno mayo making it an equally legit order.

The fries are average at best but not to worry, it is acceptable and even suggested that you order sides of DGBG’s hand made sausages with you burger. Do yourself a favor and get a side of “DGBG Dog” or the cheese filled Viennoise. Also note that you can add a second patty to “Monster” your burger for 5 bucks extra although I don’t think it is necessary.

Overall DGBG is bit overpriced and delivers a typical soft French slap in the face to the ol’ US of A, but I suggest you suck it up and get French when hanging with your burger babe in the east village or lower east side!

COURANT.com- HARTFORD — – There have been many games over the past few years in which Stanley Robinson — as enigmatic as he can be energetic, as inconsistent as he is athletic — has virtually disappeared. There have been many others in which he has loudly stood out, dunking emphatically, yelling as he finishes lob passes, hanging on the rim.
