First Look: Moo Burger, a New Organic Burger Joint in Brooklyn from 'Chopped' Chef

Moo Burger's menu is a little overwhelming—the kind in 8-point font that requires at least four whole minutes of silent reading at the table. In addition to sauce options you have 14 burger options, each with six organic meat substitution options. Chicken, bison, elk, turkey, ostrich, lamb, and a seventh non-meat, the veggie. In addition to the aforementioned meats and sauces, you can add toppings like avocado, pulled pork, brisket (meat on meat!), roasted peppers, wild mushrooms, bacon, or a fried egg. And did we get to buns yet? Brioche, sourdough, whole-wheat, or pretzel.

Astoria, NYC: Jackson Hole Airline Diner, Where Bigger Is Not Necessarily Better

If you're on the way home from the airport and your curiosity gets the best of you, I wouldn't blame you for stopping to see a minor location in a great Scorsese film. Or to even take some photos — it's crazy photogenic in the hands of a better photographer than I. But don't bother with the burger. Bigger is not better here.
