The 10 Best Burgers in Brooklyn
Reynard
This burger is best eaten at the spacious marble bar, ideally with a rye old fashioned as a companion (I’d get Templeton). It’s one of the most decadent burgers I’ve ever had, despite the fact that it doesn’t come with any special adornments. It’s straightforward in that it’s just a beef patty with caramelized onions on a simple roll (melted gruyère is an extra two bucks, but go for it, I say), but this burger adds up to so much more than the sum of its parts. Everything about it just tastes like more—the roll is lighter than any other I’ve ever had (though it holds up to all the juice from the meat); the patty is beefier; the onions are sweeter and richer. And it’s just the right size, so you leave feeling satisfied, not like you’re going to explode.
