If I lived in Hell’s Kitchen, (I wouldn’t, but if I did) Five Napkin Burger would probably be in heavy rotation. Only out of convenience though – it’s the best burger between 8th Ave and the Hudson River, and that ain’t saying much. Or, I might just trade in my dirty napkins for a pair of dope Nike’s, and take a walk east to Burger Joint, HB Burger or Five Guys instead.
Someone needs to explain to me why a burger joint would be compelled to serve a full menu of sushi. Where I come from, these two fine delicacies don’t play nice in the kitchen. You’re either in the mood for one or the other, and you certainly don’t want the greasy dude running the grill cutting up maki rolls and handling raw fish. I could see those kinds of shenanigans in LA, but not here. We’re better than that. After tasting a bunch of non-burger items on the 5NB menu, sushi is just about the last thing I’d want to mess with here; everything except the burger was straight up bad.
