People seem these days to always want the “best” of everything. I too contend that sometimes the best in mediocrity can be more satisfying than the most indulgent delicacy. People often say the famous cry of the average, “Jack of all Trades, Master of None…” but they often neglect the second half of the aphorism, “…certainly better than a Master of One.” Here, Here Josh!
So how did you come to burger in your research and based on those few qualifications this company that has been around for two years should be known as the “best burger company in town?” Dude, get serious! I bet that heafty check they funded your company with had something to do with your decision. Both the Schnipper Brother’s: Andrew and Johnathan crave attention–paying celebrities to eat at their restaurants and discounting reservations to get teams that would ordinarily go to The Shake Shack to eat at their restaurants.
It’s ironic that every competition they enter like their famous sloppy joe–which is bagged! I saw them prep it one day and it’s mostly Manwich and some other form of cheap beef but they lost severely in the throwdown with Bobby Flay by the “vast majority of the community of their peers”.
I have eaten there a few times and I believe that the food is rediculously overpriced and the quality, especially the hotdogs, are of less quality than the street vendors–and a 6th of the cost. I own a condo across the street from their 23rd street location and both you and those guys are not too bright. Why so I say that? well There is this big truck that has a big black cat on it–”Tom Cat’s Bakery” that drops the breads off in front of the store several hours before it opens! I can imagine the infestation of rats (that venture from the park for the feast) that visits the store, loyally and daily.
Be original and stop making reccomendations for money! You’re pathetic and has lost all credibility in my community! The Shake Shack is Superior!

Dear James,
You sound like a real punk. You have absolutely no basis for questioning Mr. Ozersky’s integrity in this matter. Also, while he never claims that Schnipper’s is better than Shake Shack in the video (he says Schipper’s makes what might be the best TRADITIONAL hamburger in the city), I happen to think that’s the case.

Arnold, don’t (if that’s who you really are: I know) don’t take it personal. Also what does a punk sound like? I thought that was a character trait not a vocal essence. Get an education, Arnold. In addition, I know your writing style and if your going to fake a name atleast not use the same letter as your ‘original’ first name–just for future references.

Dear crazies, please go haunt Slate or something. You are not wanted here.
Some facts: Josh wrote a superb book called “The Hamburger: A History”. It is on Amazon. He is one of the world’s leading authorities on hamburgers. He is well respected enough on all matters food that his byline appears often in TIME magazine. You may disagree with him, but you have no ground to question his expertise or his integrity.
