"The Spotted Pig" news and stories

Ed Levine recently posted a list of his top 10 fancypants burgers in Manhattan on his blog. Cafe D'Alsace took top honors for its burger, which features onions doused in Riesling and French Muenster cheese. Other notable entries include The Spotted Pig, whose roquefort-laced patty landed the No. 3 spot and Nice Matin's five-napkin burger, which took fifth place.

But just what is a a fancypants burger anway? I'm glad you asked. Levine has devised a whole list of criteria, including costing more than ten dollars and less than 20, being sided with excellent french fries, being served by a waiter in a white tablecloth setting and being made from fresh high-quality ingredients.

I can't wait to work my way through his Top 10. Time to renew my scrip for Lipitor.
