- Hey, Bobby! When can I expect to see one of your Burger Joints in Manhattan? Not fair that those people on the Igland get to partake of your burgers and we 5 Boro dudes get... Shake Shack.

- Was not aware of Bobby''s new place, and just happened to stop there last evening. Let me say it was a wonderful surprise! Burgers were great, staff was attentive and friendly. Atmosphere was nice, but there were not many customers (as I dont think they are "officially" opened). Lots of staff (as I think they are being trained before the grand opening). Burgers are mostly $7.50 and sides are $3. Nice choice of beverages..shakes, soda, etc. Limited beer/wine choices. Would definately recommend this place. Good Luck Bobby with this new venture!

- Wonder where he came up with the idea of putting chips on the burger sandwich. I am 57 years old and my younger sister and I have been doing that since we were small children!

- There''s nothing traditional about any of these. Traditional would be the drive thrus and burger joints. Meat cheese (optional) ketchup or mustard (or both) onions. lettuce. Chipolte?? horseradish mustard?? Not that these can''t be good but are not traditional.
