Eunice and I were invite to a restaurant called 5 Napkin Burger located in Astoria, a section of Queens here in New York City. There are other 5 Napkin Burger restaurants in Manhattan that we heard are pretty much the same except for a few specials that the chef concocts. Now, aside from burgers, they also feature seafood that includes some goodies on their Sushi Menu. There was a special sushi roll made with soft shell crab and we also had a California Rainbow roll with king crab, mango and cucumber on the inside, tuna, salmon, yellow tail and avocado on the outside.
Then there was this way cool appetizer of deep fried pickles and pastrami sitting atop sauerkraut with a mustard oil. Wow was that good!
Where most places have sliders of chopped meat, this one had lobster instead. The lobster was mixed with their specially made mayo, scallions and cucumbers. Of course we had to have their signature 5 Napkin Burger, of 10-oz. of fresh ground chuck, caramelized onions, gruyere cheese, and rosemary aioli on a bun. I love their buns! Because we got this we were able to taste 5 Napkin Burger's house made pickles.
Merle happened to be there and shared her black and white shake with us. Delicious!
