hey joe..what's all this i'm reading about some burger place in tribeca called Au Cheval? have you been? if not, go and report back please..

phhftt ... if you ever came to Chicago you’d have already been to the original

any good or is it some in and out crap?

definitely not fast-food-esque. more on the gourmet burger side. they do it right, although some people think it’s overrated.

the bun looks a bit too big but it looks good..

I think the best burgers I’ve ever had are from Gronk’s in Superior, WI. That place is really great.

I would have been among the group, but we had to back out of the trip last minute. Looked great on their FB photos.

I'd go:

farm greens with pear, ubriacone cheese, lavender almonds and cabernet vinaigrette
saffron cavatelli with octopus bolagnese and crispy garlic
steamed mussels with pepperoni, tomato and roasted garlic flatbread
moneygun for cocktails afterward (looks close on the map and presents well on street view)

No, but that signage looks perfect. Where is it out there?

Both of my brothers live in LA, so if it’s worth a side trip I’d check it out sometime.
