This post sounds dirty. It’s not. About three years ago, Ben Rodgers and I conceived an idea so brash, so brilliant, the world wasn’t ready for it. In addition, we lacked the funds to bring this idea to fruition. And like Leonardo’s helicopter, and the first computer, and time travel, it remained just an insanely genius idea. Until last year, when we discovered a restaurant was serving our idea. (Great minds think alike.)
The idea? Pizza tastes good. It’s a pleasing shape. And it’s fun to eat things in slices. The burger tastes good. It’s a pleasing shape, wouldn’t it be fun to eat in a slice? So picture a giant burger. Pizza size. Picture it sliced into eight. Now, open your eyes… here’s that picture:
The Burger Pie can be had at Slate which is on 21st St between 5th and 6th Ave and Chelsea. Also, they have pool and get this PING PONG! Burger Pie and Ping Pong? Can we say, Perfect Day? Rodgers and I agreed it was pretty much what we had envisioned. Good choice of bun, nice cut of giant burger. The only thing I would have changed was the pickle. It was gherkin, i.e. sweet. I would go half-sours cut into slices so they might resemble pepperoni. Still, A for presentation. Also, Slate was pretty cool by letting us order the burger pie for lunch when it’s really only for dinner.
The world feels a whole lot smarter today. Like after the atom was split, we’ve entered a new age. The Age Of Burger Pie!
One thing pizza doesn’t have is that burger juice that oozes out. Once you round the 5th slice of burger pie, you’re bound to get a soggy slice… and we all know, that nobody likes a soggy burger pie slice.
Now onto my second point, what about the reverse? I have been rocking the nyc slice for some time. The nyc slice is two slices of pizza one flipped on the other turning it into a mobile, structurally sound, satisfying meal on wheels. Make that burger sized, and you’re talking the best of both worlds.
