Because we have yet to use the term "french fry moat" on this blog, I'm using it now.
The above burger, as seen at Jeremy's Weblog, is the 8-Inch Burger from Singapore-based chain, New York, New York. Jeremy explains that the burger is made with 600 grams (about 21 ounces) of beef and is topped with ketchup, cheese, tomatoes, and lettuce. And all around this burger is a moat of french fries. My understand is that the burger is free if you finish it in under and hour (well, not free; you pay for it by feeling like crap); otherwise its $32.50 SGD (about $22.50 USD).
This may not be much of a megaburger in the U.S., but I like that it's from a place called New York, New York located in Singapore.
That burger looks huge!! But I would think it would be kinda like a deconstructed burger. My only problem with it is that there seems to be more french fries than burger but I could be wrong.
@jkdrummer: Taken out of context I don't think it would be that interesting, but the reason I found it worth posting mostly had to do with where it's from and the idea behind it. Does the image of New York = huge ass burgers challenges? To me, not really, but in Singapore maybe. (I guess New York would be a representation of America as a whole in Singapore though.)
We don't have that much coverage of American-style burgers outside of the US, but I'd like to have more...preferably ones that I've eaten, but I can't travel around the world. :( Although I don't expect everyone to have as much interest in the perception/transformation of American food outside of the US as I have, I think it's worth documenting.
Hello Guys,
Thanks for the featuring my post to this webpage.
I really liked the way of how you guys formatted it.
Actually in Singapore, the majority of the population usually intake rice, not too much on burger or bread.
I do agree that once anyone hears of a term defined to an american name, like Jack's Place, or New York, New York, the first thing that comes to our mind's will be burger, fries, steak and all those western stuff.
Speaking of which, we also have McDonalds in Singapore, and the double cheeseburger, around 6 to 7cm in radius cost of $2 SGD.
Where the filet O fish cost slightly more $3.20 SGD.

Fries look terrible. $22? Yeah right. Doesn't deserve a post here at AHT.

Oh yes, and speaking of which, there is significantly more fries than burger!
The fries is pretty oily.
