I ended up at Burgersmith's soft opening through a friend of a friend, and the food was fantastic. I think that this newbie will have legs. Great beer list and app options, and an inviting space (evening at Smash Burger, anyone?), to boot. Interested to try the wings next time, I am optimistic.<br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-78804199434625506352012-01-28T11:17:16.968-05:002012-01-28T11:17:16.968-05:00we need a fish place!we need a fish place!tonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-50112022875384039402012-01-28T06:29:18.018-05:002012-01-28T06:29:18.018-05:00I worry there was no soft opening.

It's really a shame how the vegetarian paradise that used to be South Brooklyn has been wrecked by the influx of new carnivores. Wait, what?<br /><br />I confess I love a good burger, but I'm even cocking an eyebrow at the influx of burger joints in the neighborhood these past few years. I'd love to see some of the better ones survive, but the gimmickiness of the concept plus the heavy hitters in Shake Shack and Five Guys make me think a lot of these places won't make it for the long haul. Ah well, at least the space will be ready for the next trend.JAAnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-191141490185291532012-01-27T18:03:25.520-05:002012-01-27T18:03:25.520-05:00Where can I go in the afternoon for a salad in thi...Where can I go in the afternoon for a salad in this neighborhood that doesn't have fried chicken or something bad n it?

Burgers are the new sushi apparently. And can we please place a moratorium on the term "farm-to-table"? That means nothing if a butcher forgets to clean his grinder or the cow happens to be wallowing in feces. (Not saying that's the case, just that it's a hollow term.)<br /><br />I do dig the monkey chandeliers - the place has an interesting look.<br /><br />I wonder if anyone will ever re-open Bar Below?Little Earthquakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08357902966348718076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36892255.post-34479388759324573702012-01-27T11:16:08.553-05:002012-01-27T11:16:08.553-05:00Well said, anonymous.

Farm to table, grass-fed, it's still dead animals and our neighborhood is full of them. Just as cancer rates and obesity soars, we get more options to kill ourselves and make ourselves sick Paula Deen style.
