Burger Series 14: Zaitzeff

We meet at Zaitzeff's new-ish Lower East Side addition this month. Its burgers are made of all natural Nebraska beef, and were recently featured in NY Magazine's 2008 Cheap Eats list:

"The mini-burgers, a brand-new addition to an already stellar full-size-hamburger menu, come three to an order for $12 and are simply superb plump and juicy and topped with sharp Cheddar and fried onions. The grass-fed sirloin that the brothers Zaitzeff use to make their patties is fresh and flavorful, but the key to these delectable Scooby Snacks is the miniature toasted Portuguese muffins they get from a bakery in Fall River, Massachusetts. These slightly sweet super-buns combine the sturdiness of an English muffin with the burger-melding ability of a delicate brioche and have made the Underground Gourmet reconsider a preference for the squishy supermarket variety."

Can't wait to see you there.
