Burgers are the Cadillac of sandwiches, with smooth, classic bun lines and a massive, American-made BEEF-8 beneath the soft, delicious hood. Peel out on your taste buds with today's deal: for $8, you get $16 worth of burgers, sandwiches, shakes, and more at Corner Burger, a café located three blocks from the 4th and 9th D, N, and R trains in Park Slope.
Pop into the aptly named diner at the corner of 5th Avenue and 6th Street and give a menu a quick glance before digging in. Assemble a meal with Corner Burger's three-step fare factory, beginning with a veggie, turkey, or beef patty ($6.50 each), layering your selection with one of eight cheeses ($0.75 apiece) and slapping a topping and dollop of sauce on before calling it dinner (nine toppings $0.50–$1.25, six sauces gratis). Sidestep the manufacturing with a signature burger such as the Slope burger (cheddar, bacon, and onion rings, $9.25), an all-beef chili-cheese dog ($4.50), or a brand-new, north-of-the-border addition to Corner Burger's menu—Montreal poutine. Have a classic poutine (fries, cheese curds, and classic gravy, $6.50) to form a frame of reference, or innovate with a poutine cochon: fries, cheese curds, pulled pork, and warm barbecue sauce ($7.50). Finish up with an old-school chocolate shake ($5) or an old-school adult shake (Brooklyn lager, $5).
Corner Burger's Park Slope location is conveniently close to the 4th Avenue and 9th Street station and spank in the middle of the chic 5th Avenue shopping district. Stop in for a power lunch during an afternoon of commercial conquest, or head over with a Canadian friend to share a geographically inappropriate yet savory meal.
Reviews
Corner Burger was written about in the Brooklyn Paper this year for starting the poutine revolution in Park Slope. Eighty-two percent of 46 Urbanspooners recommend Corner Burger, and Yelpers gave it a 3.5-star average:
- Poutine? That literal mess of French fries, gravy and cheese curds that is both a national joke and a national dish in Canada? Yes, Quebecois line up for it in the cold. But will Brooklynites? They should. – Gersh Kuntzman, Brooklyn Paper
Groupon Says
Grounded
All hamburgers start out as ground meat, most commonly beef, although exotic substitutions such as lamb and ostrich have risen in popularity in regions where high barometric pressures can cause a cow's thin membrane to rapidly expand and explode, not unlike a marshmallow in the microwave. What are some other things you might not know about these noble manatees of the land?
- All cows are born semi-literate but lack the ambition to make the difficult transition to "chapter books."
- A male cow is called a "bull" for its resemblance to the childlike bailiff portrayed by Richard Moll on the hit sitcom Night Court.
- The methane produced by cows is responsible for 41% of the funniest greenhouse gases.
- Cow is actually an acronym for the government-bestowed designation "Creature of Width."
- As well as possessing four stomachs, cows also possess four hearts, making them easy pickins for smooth-talking Casanovas rolling into town looking to literally get the milk for free.
