    Time Out New York / Issue 642 : Jan 17–23, 2008
    Best burgers

    Life of the patty

    The authors behind TONY’s 2004 list of the 100 best burgers are back, only to discover that the everyman’s sandwich has gotten…fancy. They encounter personalized mixes of beef, freshly made buns and sea salt on the fries, and pick the ten best of the newfangled bunch.

    By Rose Palazzolo and Tracy Ziemer

    1. Market Table
    54 Carmine St at Bedford St (212-255-2100); $12

    What's in the Beef
    Eight ounces of a 50-50 sirloin-and-brisket blend developed by Pat LaFrieda. The loose grind lets the juices flow freely.

    How it's cooked
    Grilled and then finished off in a salamander (a type of broiler) with salt and pepper, it arrives a perfectly cooked medium-rare.

    Toppings
    White cheddar, house-made pickles, carmelized onions, lettuce and tomato. The flavors work in concert—a symphony of a burger.

    Bun
    Made in-house with white flour, chopped herbs and roasted garlic—the same recipe used for the restaurant’s bread sticks.

    Bonus points
    Addictive fries dusted with parsley, salt and Old Bay—it’s the seasoning chef-owner Mike Price used at the Mermaid Inn.

      u missed the lure burger....read about it on eater and its the secret given at a fish joint but it is a upscale version of in-n-out burger....you have to order "lure style" otherwise you get a normal version.
