They Shrunk My Burger - How Much?

They Shrunk My Burger - How Much? The burgers here look like they have been shrunk, Much smaller than they used to be. So, it begs the question, America, New York are no longer famous for their burgers. #americanburgers #howmuch #newyork #newyorkcity

You are one of the few people on you tube that I can tell when you have enjoyed food, your face says it all. Enjoy your NY trip

🙏🏼🙂👍🏼

[@Commentssectionbingo]

Real shock that a place bang in the middle of a tourist trap is expensive

[@user-xh3lz9xt4l]

I love the sarcasm.

[@roboliver9980]

NYC is now just a Disney theme park version of what it once was with prices to boot

[@lemmy74]

That apple pie looked amazing..Like what my granny used to make me as a kid!

[@lukebignell7846]

This is why you should try and find local recommendations. Otherwise you get caught in tourist trap places like this that have fake reviews.

[@sdelliott]

All I want to say, DJ, is have a great week!! You're on holiday and you've worked hard for it! Do (and eat) exactly what you want, mate! 👍👍🍔🍺

[@andylightfoot9014]

Your on holiday eat & drink whatever takes your fancy !!! Quality vid as always..👍👌

[@matthew6994]

I love these NYC videos, takes me back and the perfect opportunity to spoil yourself! - Can't get over the cost though (and the size of that burger) :)

[@paulinekirkham7945]

Looked tasty Darren but shrunken burger again. You enjoy yourself honey you put the work in. I love your vlogs very much..

[@petergoodger4809]

Thanks Darren. Looking forward to lots of great content

[@michaelmaloney4517]

Pure liberty. Hope you find a nice place with bigger portions.

[@paulhartley7459]

New York you need 1000 dollars a day minimum spend for a couple Darren thats about what we spent on average , and as for people telling you that you should not do this or that stuff them mate you are on holiday you work all year and its your life,keep doing what makes you happy

[@kevinkeane254]

Looking forward to this Darren, have a great week buddy 🫡

Excited to see the nyc vlogs

[@gerard7653]

Apart from the price, well done to you heading away to another part of the world and doing some vlogs. Enjoyed it and looking forward to the rest. Keep safe man

[@RogEdwardsTV]

For a country renowned for gigantic food portions, that was a disappointing tiny meal. 😢

[@747jono]

Evening Darren Glad you arrived safely.

[@spaceman87186]

Hi Darren ,the pizza slice places and jewish and italian delis also very good ,try to avoid the fish and chip places though 🕶enjoy your trip.

[@kezzacollinson621]

Loving the start of New York vlogs ❤❤

[@johnniedono9813]

enjoy the knutts off ur trip darren..great content as per...i wouldnt fret,youll find places where the portions will be huge,believe u me lol.

[@cyberleaderandy1]

Fentemans lemonade is available in the UK pretty much everywhere.

[@dirkbogarde44]

Weren't Diners places that were just everyday food joints that supplied food for the working class? £45..........outrageous.

[@oohardivy7571]

In the States, all diners are the same (greasy spoons in the UK). Next time you go to the states, take sarnies and pot noodles.

[@nigellee9824]

Just had two bacon burgers and two portions of fries plus one coke at five guys Kings cross, £42.....I can remember when I couldn't lift £42 worth of burgers

[@mattseaton3521]

London is leagues ahead of New York as a food city.

[@djpeekay25]

I can’t agree more with your statement. The quality of food was so bad, my son and I actually were sick in NYC. Love the city though but not the food.

[@747jono]

Enjoy your trip Darren spend what you want, you explained about saving up for something special and awesome a few months ago. You work hard ,yes you hold down a job as well as this you do this because you love it. Excellent work . Looking forward to you trying a New York strip steak and creamed spinach 😊😋😋😋😋

[@petermaguire101]

Cracking video but for 52 bucks that burger should have been thicker than a boxing day turd !

[@andrewgalt3964]

Enjoy your holiday in NY Darren has been a good few years since my last visit for me has always been expensive Looking forward to more videos ❤

[@paulplaskwa1600]

NYC used to be so cheap, clobber, grub, now even more expensive than London, great post again mate, keep em coming 👏 👍

[@wildwine6400]

That's not a burger, that's a slider!

I’m always weary when in the states about tips etc always puts me off

Loving this - love New York ❤️

[@mattcham1979]

In the US, the average wage in 2024 is 50% higher than in the UK. In 2008, the average UK wage was the same as the US. That and the exchage rate (which has been destroyed by Brexit) is why it seems so expensive to us over there.

[@marksherman73]

Great video as normal Darren! I can recommend the ‘Washington Square Diner’ on 150 W 4th Street. Was there last September, proper diner food, not touristy 👍

[@AllanNeaves-qn3zr]

Hello there Darren, the Big Apple ( Pie) We all think that we know about New York, well most of the USA. Let's face it, we have been fed it almost daily, The television has shown us our virtual make believe " real life." America 😂 Re the size of your burger, maybe the locals have been informed about the dangers of the full fat double size meals 🤔Or make smaller things, charging more. In fact less bangs for the dollar 💲💵😉Have to be honest, that's what I would call a bloomin great looking Apple Pie. I felt the enamel on my teeth started to melt 😁😬🤗 Even with the sugar rush, loved your not quite a senior moment 🤔. Keep searching for the best burger and share the hunt with us. Allan&Family

[@ianm2170]

You know as well as I do that if you want a belly-busting burger without incurring an overdraft, you'd better get out of Manhattan, and probably all of NYC, come to that Darren.

[@johngibson3837]

Hey up enjoy and safe travels

[@Marcel_Audubon]

the burger and fries looked good, apple pie isn't my cup of tea, but I'm sure they have other types and they look like they know how to bake a pie! ... regarding price, that meal would probably be nowhere near as expensive at most diners, however you are in Midtown Manhattan and high prices are just something you can't get around there (but you knew that before you came, I reckon). Also, stay away from those artisan lemonades if you're looking to keep the bill down haha!

Yeh being New York I’d presume the burger would be bigger, as everything’s bigger in America, have a awesome time and can’t wait for more videos 😊😊❤❤❤

[@junemccann5981]

Jeez pretty steep for what you had to eat. But if you enjoy it that’s what counts Darren! Spoil yourself! 🥰☀️🥰xxx

[@robcoles8493]

Thats a fierce price for a burger and chips with pie and ice cream but sod it - life is too short. Go and enjoy yourself DJ.

[@tracey4030]

DJ Lol always the same with me waiter always comes over when I've got a mouth full of food 😮😂😂

[@LadyCrewe]

Expensive but that apple pie looks delicious 😋

[@pjy3141]

It makes London seem quite low cost 😀 that was too expensive New York or not, thanks for sharing your journey 👍

[@annemarieelton2069]

Late watching this The burger & apple pie did look good tbf … but $52 ! though it is New York I guess Enjoy your holiday there Looking forward to other food reviews xx👍👍

[@darenkent6987]

I wouldn’t say £56 was expensive for what looked top quality in fantastic surroundings. Seen the price of McDonalds lately 🤣🤣 but as usual another great video Gary 👍👍👍👍

[@user-xh3lz9xt4l]

Try Paris in August Dj. One good thing most of the Parisians have left for the coast but its too bloody hot

[@gc9017]

Have a great break mate and enjoy !! Go Brooklyn or queens for value diners

[@bsr6823]

Crazy expensive! Papaya King just reopened at 206 E. 86th St and you can get 2 delicious grilled hot dogs and a papaya juice for $11.99.

[@AnthonyLingard]

Have a lovely holiday

[@David.W.Kelsey]

America is one place that has never appealed to me, but i still enjoy your vlogs Darren. 🤗👍

[@davidkeen9270]

really like your videos have a great holiday and try a philli cheese steak please

[@DJsFoodTravels]

Only if I go to Philly

[@747jono]

Not been to New York since 1978 so obviously prices have gone up lol. Lets remember it was never going to be cheap its one of the most expensive cities in the world but one of the greatest like London ❤.

[@RobbieB2024]

from dining in various parts if the states its only now that i see how more superior meat in ireland and the uk is of a much jigher standard, streets ahead these days

[@gavinmcelwee3573]

52 dollars, not a hope would i pay that lol u should google a few of the cheaper spots for grub

[@jeanettedemosthenous2685]

I was surprised to see that your lemonade was made by Fentimans - founded by Thomas Fentiman in Cleckheaton and still family owned. Maybe that was quite expensive ? Looking forward to these NYC vlogs. x

[@747jono]

Pie looked awesome

[@djpeekay25]

badly presented though

[@drmikettx4325]

Go to what used to be the Parker Meridian Hotel (I think it has changed ownership). I stayed at that hotel for ~ month about 10 years ago doing a business deal - there is a "secret" burger restaurant behind a curtain in the lobby - or there was a few years ago. Hotel is on north side of 56th - next to Carnegie hall. Should be very close to where you are staying. Awesome burgers and used to be very cheap.

[@johnclark5562]

Nice one Daz .. . Have a great time and try and get a Chinese in if you can

[@chilunliu]

When I'm in New York, i tend to eat in Queens or Brooklyn as you can get better value for money, its pricey but its the equivalent of eating at a restaurant in Leicester Square so sounds about right

[@callaghansharon7]

Enjoy your holiday. Well deserved. Haters just jealous - ignore. Keep doing what you do best. xxx ❤❤❤

[@Ed___1234]

You are looking well mate! Have you lost weight? Hope you have a great time in New York, for me it was a dream destination and when I finally went I was really disappointed so got on a train and went to Boston instead where I had a much better time!

[@mikebryan7060]

Good review. Food looked ok. Price wise, itnis what it is i suppose. Maybe try Old John's Diner whilst you are in NYC.

[@richardgelber2740]

Old John's! I've been eating there since 1975 (including the original location on Broadway).

[@mallyroberts8330]

You'll have to go to Greenwich Village and visit The White Horse. Dylan Thomas used to hang out in there. Really interesting images on the walls, etc.

[@iandunipace]

newyork crazy expensive. plus the tip. still love it though. been going there since 1981.

[@OhmyGod99999]

52 dollars for that!!! Jeez.....nearly fell off my chair 🫣

[@ChiragPatel-bc5vt]

DJ - be sure to try the Halal Brothers food cart: rice, salad and chicken shawarma with the best sauces!!! It’s a must try when in NYC! Also want to find a good corned beef bagel place to compare to our very own Brick Lane beigels. Enjoy your trip. You are right - u r on holiday - normal miserable life can wait till u get back.

[@Dunstire]

I've never been to the States but i'm buggered if i'd pay that much for a cheese burger,fries and piece of pie no matter how good it was.I too thought that in America portions were huge and prices were low.Apparently not

[@leebaker1471]

Can highly recommend Black Iron Burgers, there’s two of them in NYC, best burgers we’ve ever had and the loaded fries were OTC!

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

Welcome to America. You will pay more, get less, and be happy! 🙃 Good exchange rate! When I last went to england and scotland, the exchange was double- NOT in my favor.

[@NorskInjustis]

Perhaps a little research would be in order! New York has some great burger sites, for sure. There is a guy, Hamburger America is the diner, hyped but probably better than the one you had.

[@laurencorbett5175]

I was in Brooklyn last November. If you want a more budget food day, find a trader joes (think whole foods but a bit cheaper) and get a meal from the takeaway hot counter to have in your hotel. They do some lovely options even for a vegan like me lol

[@tobybaker5187]

Not the point of his channel

[@Endlessly_Nameless]

Hi dj, Mrs sandwich and I got married in manhattan in 2014 (we’re from the uk). It was a great week; all our wedding photos were in front of the Brooklyn bridge. We’ve not been back since but I can’t wait to go again. Great city. Maybe we’ll get some tips from you on where to eat!

[@chrisaris8756]

All the way to NYC to drink British lemonade???? Try the City Diner on Broadway and Rosie O’Grady’s off 52nd street, have a Sam Adams butter for me!!

[@Jay-Leigh]

I had a D.Q. Burger 🍔 and poutine while watching this Darren. I was shocked at the price. I guess, the tourist spots will always be less for more price, as we know but It looked lovely though. Looking forward to seeing more while I chill at my sons place here in equally hot Canada 🥵🥵☺️☺️

[@lloydbrock2711]

Yes DJ! Bring on the NYC vlogs. Can't wait to see you graze your way through this awesome place!

[@nickgolding5786]

Blimey abit steep Daran, pie looked nice tho 😊

[@reedsfromleeds6347]

HOW MUCH, well I am from Yorkshire Darren

[@jglasernyc]

The Beatles played Carnegie hall. If you are in the subway at 57th street, on the tiles you can see all the people that played Carnegie Hall. BTW it's 7th Ave not street, 7th street is downtown in the village. The burger is typical of those types of places. Jackson Hole in Manhattan have great burgers. If you like smash burgers go to Burger America on Houston (HOUSE Ton) and MacDougal in the village, it is run by burger scholar George Motz (who also is the chef).

[@JohnWalker-ho4gl]

Evidently not quite everybody knows not to fall for the tourist traps, and eat where the locals eat off the beaten track 🤷‍♂️

[@WaferBrik]

Strewth, for that kind of dosh you could gorge on eight Big Macs in NZ, with about $8 left to feed the parking meter.

[@jamesmarshall1485]

Looks nice I’m first 😊

[@lukebignell7846]

They even stiffed you on the apple pie, looks like someone ate the other half before serving it to you!! Pure RIP OFF

[@fidgetspinner343]

We’ve got a Andrew Carnegie hall as this is his birthplace in Scotland. I’ve performed on it too. The Carnegie Trust runs from here, near Edinburgh.
