Trying The Best Reviewed Burger in NYC! Is Emily NYC Worth the Hype?

[@alexchainey.]

UA is one guy who really enjoys every bite. His expression per bite is priceless!

[@uaeats]

You're not wrong!

[@annehajdu8654]

​@@uaeatsyour expressions during eating are stupid.

[@randomme6954]

Love it how UA shakes his head in a No gesture while saying he loves it🤣 -- We all do that :)

[@jeffs.4313]

UA, well done! Very good review. I appreciated all your input. You are getting very good at this. Keep up the great work! Looking forward to your next review.

[@uaeats]

Thanks!

[@hoibsh21]

Lemme tellya, I need to explore burger joints outside the chains of Five Guys and Shake Shack. Thanx for cluing me in.

[@KLee-Canada]

Another awesome review! Will try this place next time I am in NYC. I like the burger joint in the Thompson Central Park Hotel. Use to stay there for work and consistently good late night dinner.

[@uaeats]

I'll have to try it sometime!

[@jeffrx]

Looks great! 30 bucks for a burger is a little steep but everything is too expensive these days.

[@brandall101]

Oh wow... was only $26 when I ate there 6 months ago. Highly recommend the BK Jani burger for only $20 w/ fries or $16 by itself. A very different twist but so, so delicious.

[@uaeats]

It's definitely not cheap but if they're able to get away with that price it's saying something

[@IQscan51]

@@brandall101 Only $26?

[@ramencurry6672]

It’s expensive because beef prices have increased and the location of NYC by nature is also expensive. If it was in another city it probably would have been maybe $22.

[@brandall101]

I really loved the Emily burger... would recommend eating it in restaurant. The fries were plenty crispy and the presentation was lovely. That said, absolutely in love w/ the BK Jani burger and keep on going back there. I normally love cheese + caramelized onions on burgers but there's something about this... it seems oddly healthy and spicy, and the quality of the beef creates a really intoxicating treat.

[@uaeats]

I'll have to try it!

[@michaelglazer6846]

Love the sound you make when you eat something you like so funny

[@alexjones6190]

I think it's the squint eyes and head shaking that is hilarious

[@DFrost25]

This lol

[@uaeats]

Haha yeah people always point it out to me

[@piddles11]

Love your videos! I’m sure the taste blew your mind! Just a tad rare for me. Tastes differ and to each his own!

[@uaeats]

Yep to each their own!

[@pattis6543]

Just a suggestion, I found if you open the cover of fries, or even vent the top, they stay crisper and they don't start steaming.

[@petergoldberg6293]

Food is always much better when you have it piping hot serve to you at the table in the restaurant.

[@uaeats]

You're absolutely right!

[@sandeepsreekumar5451]

UA without the cap !!! Looking suave ❤

[@uaeats]

Thanks!

[@dariuszglabik4558]

I'm from Poland I live in NJ . I just want to say maybe you could try some polish food like bigos, pierogies, gołąbki and soups like grochowa or rosol ( broth) by the way I really love your videos . I love the way you always give some history of the place that you go and way you describe i also like it. This really helps me imagine how the food really is. Thank you another great video !

[@drew4021]

I can only imagine if that burger and fries were hot and in the restaurant. I think hot food that's eaten piping hot makes so much of a difference. That should be a criteria in my opinion but I do know its not always possible.

[@uaeats]

You're right. In this case though there was not much room in the restaurant

[@alexjones6190]

French fries always get ruined in a closed box im not sure why they still do that with all the to-go orders i just had it happen to me

[@Ryguyhaan]

Gotta slit the box open so steam gets out, & they stay crispy

[@uaeats]

Yeah fried foods don't last well to go

[@marshmallowmark]

Curious what cafe let you review an entire meal from a completely different restaurant!

[@user-gg1fh8tk7n]

Enough about the cold fries!! Just eat the damn burger!!! 😂😂😂

[@holyart4all]

If you ever traveled to Penang, Malaysia, try the Ramly burger. They made their name as a cheap burger push cart stand, but has elevated their status with some crazy burgers.

[@kathymaske8997]

Ok....you just said Minetta's Tavern kicked you out, but on the MT video, you said they didn't kick you out...just told you to stop recording. So which was it?

[@binwin2582]

Definitely one of my favorite burgers. I used to live in Stuytown and would citibike down to emily’s west village for this

[@pzuliomaccavellion9711]

In Australia, that kind of pinkness inside a burger would totally freak someone out.....generally! But i love a medium rare steak, so i'd love to try this style of burger! But, in Oz, you generally dont get a choice on how the burger is cooked!

[@fatdoi003]

And A$45 for a burger no one will order it

[@chanbla11mit]

I love how I can kinda tell what he's going to say before he even says it (through his expressions)

[@tenbearsreeftank5705]

Who shakes their head no when they're enjoying something😮

[@jbb-cj1md]

"despite the fact that they kicked me out..." You'd never hear a line like that in one of Mimi Sheraton's restaurant reviews.

[@Randy-vw6jr]

Imo most I would spend on a “gourmet” burger is $20 and that is usually at a gastropub or mom and pop burger shops are usually a little less than that. $30 is just highway robbery

[@sfguy_2k22]

the bun looks like an old catcher's mitt.

[@uaeats]

Tastes better trust me

[@Black0bsidian]

😂😂😂💀

[@jjsmith4829]

so you went to Emily West Village which has the Emily double stack burger which does come with waffle fries; the Emily Brooklyn location has the Emmy burger which is a different burger as it has Emmy sauce which contains gochujang and comes with regular style fries

[@petergoldberg6293]

So much time passed between when you took it out and ate it because you were doing the video on the french fries it must be cold and congealed by now the burger.

[@uaeats]

You're right that it would've been better fresh. But even to go it was awesome!

[@bored7743]

wow, certainly looks like a special culinary experience, thats what its all about!

[@robocop581]

Minced meat is already tender so why serve it rare? As for the price, I have swamp land in Florida for sale....

[@Rockinrn]

You’re expressions are worth a thousand words.

[@caseywilson812]

That burger looked great. I’m jealous.

[@uaeats]

Very tasty!

[@itbepoetry]

was it grilled?

[@0xMatt8302]

So good went there twice this week

[@doubledenim1341]

great vid!!

[@uaeats]

Thanks!

[@homelessboy92]

Try korzo in Brooklyn

[@plowthor]

I've never had the burger, but I think the dry aged meat probably adds a lot of flavor.

[@danielterry382]

That is a Quality Burger for sure, even Burgers expensive in the Village.

[@danne226]

can't wait for you to blow up at youtube 😎👊

[@uaeats]

Hope you're right!

[@Ryguyhaan]

Minetta Tavern has my fave burger in NYC.

[@uaeats]

It's great!

[@sanfrantrader]

I liked the burger here but thought the pizza was definitely better. The burger was as you said, super heavy and just buttery. I know eating out is unhealthy but this burger was far too much for me. I doubt I will ever eat it again but it was worth trying once

[@73richg]

Looks delicious. Do a Jackson Hole burger review. On 35th

[@jonbyrnes4349]

From the Uk and no way is that burger cooked enough . would rarely get away with that here

[@humdumdiggdy]

Now I have to stay up to catch this

[@uaeats]

Thanks for joining the premiere then!

[@cliffgaither]

All you need to give a good review of a burger is the placenta between a bun. If it's red, it's by definition a good or great burger.

[@zloungeact]

I'd want a bit of Sriracha and pickles and tomatoes on mine

[@divinekpl1]

Need the story of why Minette Tavern kicked you out

[@uaeats]

I explain more in my video on it. Basically some finance bros complained about me vlogging

[@patrickvillacreses1532]

Will have to try. haven't had, but i did have Au Cheval and man, that's a reaalllyy good burger. minetta was ok, not worth the hype IMO. but Au Cheval lives up to it. have to Emily on my "to do"

[@davehn3753]

Ok I have to agree, bun needs to be toasted to add texture

[@uaeats]

Yeah it helps the bread not get soggy

[@TL....]

minetta black label was the best burger i have ever tried, spotted pig was #2 for me

[@uaeats]

I'll try spotted pig sometime!

[@TL....]

@@uaeats i think they went bankrupt

[@GlobalNotes]

Red Hook Tavern blows all those out the water. Emily burger is good. But the sauce overpowers that amazing patty.

[@djchakir]

For your next videos, please mention what kind of meat it is. Some of us don't eat pork for example...

[@mistergrendel32]

If it’s a burger it’s beef.

[@djchakir]

@@mistergrendel32 Alright. Thanks 👍🏽🍔

[@mediaxmarketing4631]

So great review as always now let's get to the Burger for me as far as a burger is concerned for lunch a double one doesn't do it for me that's just me the quality of the chop meat looks good and somewhat perfectly cooked just somewhat still pink that pretzel bun looked interesting and a couple of different kind of cheeses I love it the cheesier the better but no double burger for me it's just too much as far as the french fries I am a purist when it comes to french fries crinkle cut fries are my all-time favorite and that's just me and I love waffle fries but again it's a purist thing please don't put any seasoning on the fries just fry them in their natural state until they are nice and crispy I will season them myself salt pepper and ketchup it's a real simple thing it's a potato the seasoning coating on any kind of fries just makes them nasty to me would I have a ate those waffle fries probably since I paid for them LOL standing by for your next Burger Joint review thanks❤

[@skylershank9309]

The fries might have been frozen, not homemade. Also if I pay that kinda money, I should be able to have it cooked the way I want. And it would never be that rare.

[@georgedilorenzo1079]

[@StephenDavis-vh4oc]

Nice review, honestly it looks like a snobby place and more of a burger that looks like everyone that gives it a thumbs up does so to fit in with the current in group. Putting that much cheese on anything is going to make it taste good.
