Hmm, haven't seen that one. Not a gigantic fan of Sideways but H&K seems like a funny one. Judy... Absolument. You are spot on. Eric... I've heard of Floors... yet to try it. Never been too impressed by PDG. There is such a market for fantastic burgers in Paris. Thx for the tips though. Elizabeth... So there is pork fat in US beef burgers?! Loving this... MesVitrinesNYC... Watch out: next thing you know, you'll drink wine and be fun and engaging. Craigkite… Hmm, haven’t seen that one. Not a gigantic fan of Sideways but H&K seems like a funny one.

I mean burgies? (giggle) It's true... real hamburgers do not exist here and were probably originally created to appease American tourists. My evidence? http://nymag.com/restaurants/cheapeats/2009/57878/ No comparison. The worst is that when you want to make a proper burger yourself, you're handicapped by the fact that bouchers grind the leanest part of the beef, envisioning only steak haché. (If anyone knows of one who will grind me a brisket / sirloin combo and throw in some pork fat, let me know) And if it's true that Parisian women would never eat a burger, well too bad for them. Statistically, they drink less and would also prefer to smoke.http://www.thedailybeast.com/blogs-and-stories/2010-06-20/french-women-smokers-say-better-dead-than-fat/ But there are so many other things to love about French food, why look for what's not there. And well Parisians should not try to be New Yorkers, just as any foreigner will never be a real , true Parisien / enne Entertaining article :) and during the season in which I miss BBQ and burgers the most!

I can recommend two spots: On the pricier side : Le Floors, 100 rue Myrha, 18eme Cheaper (11 euros for burger, frites, et salade) : Le Relais Charbon, 38 rue des entrepreneurs, 15eme Et bien sur il y a toujours le PDG Don't tell anyone!

They ordered burgers at a diner. The son ate it with his hands, my friend used a knife and fork! So maybe it is a generational as well as a gender thing.

Oh! I guess it's affectionate. Craigkite... Yeah, I went with him to the last burger joint he reviewed for his blog. Conveniently located right by O Chateau's cellar. Now Parisian burger crawl sounds a bit like La Grande Bouffe meets Jacques Tati - very odd!! One thing I'm bummed about, living in Paris: not being able to barbecue at home. This is probably one of the bets things about America: institutionalized home grilling! Laura... Are you trying to imply that l'Ile Saint-Louis is populated with socialists? Because I'm not buying that! Peter… Oh! I guess it’s affectionate.

If america did that, it might just result in a few fewer capitalists. i’ll confirm the burgie joint around the corner from me – on ice cream island – was not loved by the kids… it seemed very much trying frenchitize the burger, and as such did a good job at it. the bun was of hash browns and the meat rare.
