The Golden Dish has posted a first look review of the new East Ender.
At my next lunch I had to have the burger, made famous at Small Axe, a thick patty of local beef cold smoked and charred on the grill just right. This version did not disappoint. Though at $14 it’s pricey. It comes lobbed with a shield of melted Stilton and a scrim of caramelized onions–mahogany-hued sweet onions slowly sautéed in balsamic and a touch of red wine. The burger is accompanied by excellent batter-dipped onion rings.
Truck Stop would not have been a cute name. And I would much rather have rye bread baked in SoPo than Jewish rye bread “imported from New York.” Simulacrum indeed.
