Everyone and Everything is Famous
May 5, 2008 – 10:28 amIn the world of the 24-hour news cycle and celebrity blogging, everyone is famous in their own right.
But how can Plan B, a restaurant in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn that’s been open just over a week, claim on their menu that their burger is “famous?”
Of course, by blogging about this, am I feeding into the frenzy? Probably.
For the record, the burger was all right - I think other cheeses (cheddar, blue, gruyere) would work better stuffed inside a burger. The burger was definitely overshadowed by the fries that accompanied it. Their parmesean garlic fries use real shredded parmesean cheese and freshly chopped garlic. They stink up the place - not to mention your breath - but they are quite possibly the most delicious french fries I’ve ever tasted.
Their fries should be famous, not their burger. But let’s get real: neither can be famous after a week.

Not only are they full of themselves, they can’t seem to spell. Their burger is “stufed” with hot air, if you ask me. I’ve never been there, however, so what do I know?

i’ve been making the cheddar-in-the-burger burger at BBQs for years. it’s a gimmick, and not worth 9 bucks, that’s for sure. and it’s usually oozing with cheese, if we’re going to get specific.

Hmmm - try the Jucy Lucy at the 5-8 Club in Minneapolis.
Imagine, if you will, a jelly donut - Jelly interior with a dough exterior. Now think cheeseburger - molten cheese interior with beefy exterior.
Pure Heaven.

It’s a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Yes, but are they infamous?
No seriously, are they? I really don’t know what infamous means.
