Changing of the Guard

Howdy Amigos,
The more things change, the more they stay the same. This is a timeless saying and holds true for us more now than ever before. A year ago, Alex & I started Frites'N'Meats with the desire to bring some of the best Burgers & Frites to the streets of NYC. Over this past year, this has been our singular pursuit. From the beginning we were very fortunate to find a couple of guys, Al & Moody, who shared this goal with us and were instrumental to realizing this vision. In fact, in many ways, they were probably more instrumental to this than we were. After all they are the guys on the truck every day making the Burger & Frites, the Sassy Sauces, the ones talking to you and making sure that not only are the Burgers & Frites top notch but that your overall experience is top notch as well. We saw their passion for the business and their desire, and now we all decided it was time to turn Frites'N'Meats over to them. We will still continue to advise and, where needed, guide them, but the baby we saw through its infancy is now theirs to grow into adulthood. We are certain that they are the best stewards we could havee found for our child and are confident that they will do us all proud.

Our Schedule this Week is the same:
Monday - 46th St between 5th & 6th Ave (Midtown West)
Tuesday - 52nd St & Park Ave (Midtown East)
Wednesday - Water St & Broad St (FiDi)
Thursday - Park Ave between 27th & 28th St
Friday - Water St & Broad St (FiDi)
Dinner - Mon, Tues, Thurs & Fri - 14th St between 3rd & 4th Ave (front of Trader Joes)
Dinner - Wed - 3rd Ave & 31st St (Murray Hill)

The Burger of the Week is The El Cubano
Seasoned Grassfed Angus Patty,
Rosemary Ham & Gruyere Cheese,
Pickles & Sassy Sauce

We thank you for a wonderful first year and know you will continue to support Al & Moody as they take Frites'N'Meats to the next level.

With much Burger Love,
Vadim & Alex

Kickin' It Havana Style

Howdy Amigos,
As chilly weather starts to sneak in and the days get shorter, we figured we'd try to keep Summer around a little longer by taking you to Havana with our Burger of the Week, The El Cubano. It will have you saying "Ay Caramba" all week long!!!
A Seasoned Grassfed Angus Patty,
Rosemary Ham & Gruyere Cheese,
Pickles & Sassy Sauce

Our Schedule this week is:
Monday - 46th St between 5th & 6th Ave (Midtown West)
Tuesday - 52nd St & Park Ave (Midtown East)
Wednesday - Broad St & Water St (FiDi)
Thursday - Park Ave between 27th & 28th St
Friday - Broad St & Water St (FiDi)
Dinner - Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri - 14th St between 3rd & 4th Ave by Trader Joes (Union Square)
Dinner - Wed - 31st St & 3rd Ave (Murray Hill)

Please don't forget that in addition to always having a truckful of Burger Love, we also have an amazing Angus Skirt Steak Sandwich, Chili Cheese Frites, and Lena's Incredible Caponata. The Caponata is a kick ass savory stew of Eggplant, Orange Peppers, Onions, Tomatoes, Carrots, Cilantro, Garlic, and secret seasonings. Its not only great as a side dish, but also as a topping on the steak sandwich or on the Frites. You gotta try some!!!

Lastly, we've been mentioning our little restaurant, Paradou, in the meatpacking district. We have some incredible events every month that appeal to the value conscious gourmet. For instance this week on Monday we're doing our amazing Free Wine Mondays, just make a reservation and your table gets a free bottle of wine. On Tuesday, we're doing a Champagne & Foie Gras Tasting. 5 Sparking Wines & 5 different preparations of Foie Gras. Only $45 per person. Its a hell of a deal even if we do say so ourselves. To find out more about these and all our other events check out our Special Events page.

That's about it. Have a great week. Make it better with Burger Love

Back to Midtown West!!!

Howdy Folks,
We're coming back to Midtown West!!! Ever since the little kerfuffle on 48th St a month ago, we've been feverishly trying to find another location in Midtown. We know that Midtown West is the epicenter of Burger Love and we couldnt just abandon you and skulk off with our tail between our legs. Well, we have searched high and low, and after an exhaustive search are very happy to announce, that every Monday we will be on 46th St between 5th & 6th Ave. There's nothing better than kicking your week off with some killer Burger Love.
Here's Our Schedule for the Week:
Mon - 46th St between 5th & 6th Ave (Midtown West)
Tues - 52nd St & Park Ave (Midtown East)
Wed - Water St & Broad St (FiDi)
Thurs - Park Ave between 26th & 27th St
Fri - Water St & Broad St (FiDi)
Dinner - Mon, Tues & Fri - 14th St between 3rd & 4th Ave by Trader Joe's (Union Square)
Wed & Thurs - 31st & 3rd Ave (Murray Hill)

Our Burger of the Week is The Italian Job! This has quickly become one of your favorite burgers. And we can certainly understand why...It's a Seasoned Grassfed Angus Patty,
Mozarella, Gorgonzola & Parmesan Spread,
Applewood-smoked Thick-cut Bacon, &
Salsa Verde
If that doesn't have you saying "Mama Mia!!!", we don't know what will.

And of course, last week, to much acclaim, we launched what will certainly become Our Famous Chili Cheese Fries!!!
But that's not all, we're finally succumbing to all the vegetarian requests. No, it won't be a veggie burger (we can't give up all our principles), but it will be Lena's Absolutely Kick Ass Caponata!!! Sure its great as a side dish, but it also rocks as a topping for frites, and with some Cheddar Cheese...fuhgetaboutit!!!
Well thats it for this week. Muich Burger Love to all. Stay tuned for more special surprises.

Mad Scientists at Work, Burger of the Week & Weekly Sched

Howdy Amigos,

Hope all had a great weekend. How about that humidity? Whew. Felt like August got here a bit early, but then last night and now it feels like a wonderful early Autumn day. Very nice. Well enough of the meteoroligical forecasting. Lets get back to what we know best. Meat.

We've been thinking recently what does the "Meats" in the Frites'N'Meats stand for? Well, it stands for Meat. Of that much we're certain. But does that meat have to come in a Burger form? Hmmmm. Now that's food for thought. So we fired up the top secret Frites'N'Meats Meat Lab and got to work. Meat was flyin' everywhere. But we came up with a couple of things. Some very nice things. Some things that we know youre going to loooooooooooovvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeee!!!!

What are those things, you ask. Well, you're gonna have to wait for that one. Can't tell you just yet. It'll probably take a week or so. But you are gonna loooooooovvvvvvveeeeee it. Did I already say that? Yes, yes I did. Well, its true. Stay tuned. We'll have it for you next week.

Our Burger of the Week this week herald the return of the most legendary Burger of them all. The Oinker is back!!!!! What's The Oinker? Well, it has been a while. The Oinker is:
A Niman Ranch Seasoned Pork Patty
Applewood-smoked Thick-cut Bacon
Gruyere Cheese
Spicy Roasted Red Pepper Aioli

Now that we've got you drooling and asking where can I get The Oinker, here's our Schedule for the Week

Mon - Murray St bet. West St & North End Ave (Battery Park City)

Helllooooo Battery Park City & Other Exciting Things

Howdy All,

We've been wanting to bring Burger Love to Battery Park City for quite some time now, but always viewed it as The Land of Oz. This impenetrable place of tall buildings ruled by many different organizations. Little did we know that we had fans in the Land of Oz, specifically within the Battery Park City Authority (BPCA), the governing body within the Land of Oz. It's rare that the words City Official and Visionary find themselves in the same sentence, but last week, after workign with the BPCA for a couple of weeks, we got a huge glimpse of what can happen when people of vision are allowed to act. The BPCA and the Park Enforcement Police (PEP), the folks who oversee Battery Park City decided that rather than view Food Trucks as a nuisance, they would welcome them to a trial program. The BPCA & PEP not only hope that this trial program will succeed in Battery Park City but, and this is where the vision bit truly comes in, hope that it can be used as an example of how Food Trucks can be welcomed throughout the City.

We are very excited to announce that starting today, every Monday, we will be located on Murray Street between West Street & North End Avenue, next to the Goldman Sachs building. We know we have a lot of Burger Lovers in the Goldman, WFC, BoNY & Stuyvesant HS buildings and are very glad that we will now be able to service all of them from a much more convenient location. This is truly exciting & revolutionary news!!! Burger Love makes things happen!!!

Our New Weekly Schedule is:
Mon - Murray St bet. West St & North End Ave (Battery Park City)
Tues - 48th St & 6th Ave (Midtown)
Wed - Water St & Broad St (FiDi)
Thurs - Park Ave bet. 26th & 27th St
Fri - 48th St & 6th Ave (Midtown)
Sat - Greenwich St & Duane St (Tribeca)
Sun - TBD (Follow us on Twitter)

We're Gonna Be On Teeeee Veeeeee

Howdy Burger Lovers,

A most exciting development last week. We got a call from the new Cooking Channel. They're apparently doing a show on the Top 10 Food Trucks in the country. The show is tentatively titled "Food Truck Revolution" and will air on August 9th.

We, of course, are super flattered to be included in this. We've always known that what we were doing was mighty fine but to be acknowledged like this is very very cool. The segment is being filmed this Tuesday, May 18th at 6:30 at Greenwich St & Duane St, in front of the Food Emporium. We would love to have some of you show up. The folks from the show would like to talk to some of our fans to ask what makes our Burgers so Burgerific. To make sure that you don't go hungry during the filming, the first 30 Burger Lovers who send an email to feedme@fritesnmeats.com will get a Free Burger & Frites!! We're very excited to have you be our co-stars at this exciting event!!!

Our Burger of the Week this week is The Italian Job.
A Seasoned Grassfed Angus Patty
Mozarella, Parmesan & Gorgonzola Cheese Spread
Applewood-smoked Thick-cut Bacon
Salsa Verde
on your Choice of Bun

Let Love Rule, Weekly Schedule & The Italian Job

Howdy All,

Last week many you may have heard about a little brouhaha between us and the fine gentlemen of the venerable Schnitz-mobile. We screamed, we yelled, we stomped our feet. Bascially we bahaved either like a couple of children or an old married couple, depending on how you choose to look at it. Naturally in the end we kissed and made up (without the kissing part). We apologize for airing our laundry in public, and as Oleg (the Schnitzmeister General) said "That which does not kill Burger Love & Schnitzification, only makes Burger Love & Schnitzification stronger". Well he might not have said that exact thing, but that was his sentiment ;) We've enjoyed a wonderful relationship with the Schnitzel Kings since before we started spreading Burger Love and have helped each other on many occassions. But as inevitably happens with all friends, you get into a little tiff. That's what happened between us. Who's right, who's wrong? That's irrlevant. What's important is your two favorite Trucksters are back and fully focused on the most important task at hand - bringing you the best vittles in NYC.

So now that we've put that bit of needless stuff behind us, on to the weekly stuff:

Our schedule this week is a little bit fluid. We're going to have to change Tuesday location of 52nd & Park to Monday's on 52nd & Lex. The Rafiqi Halal boys felt that we were cutting a bit much into their biz and we do not want to rock the boat, so we're moving down the block. Tuesday becomes an uncertain day. This week, were going to try either around the Empire State Building or possibly in the low 40s around Bryant Park. Stay tuned...

Mon - 52nd St. & Lexington Ave. (Midtown East)
Tues - TBD (follow us on Twitter)
Wed - 48th St. & 6th Ave. (Midtown West)
Thurs - Broad St. & Water St. (FiDi)
Fri - Park Ave. between 26th & 27th St
Sat - Greenwich St & Duane St (Tribeca)
Sun - TBD (follow us on Twitter)

Our Burger of the Week this week is The Italian Job
A Seasoned Grassfed Angus Patty
Mozarella, Parmesan & Gorganzola Cheese Spread
Applewood-smoked Thick-cut Bacon
Salsa Verde on your choice of bun

The dessert this week continues to be the Cherry, Walnut Brioche Bread Pudding with Godiva Liquor & Vanilla Cream Sauce. You've voted with your stomachs and who are we to argue with that.

We hope to see you at one of our locations. Thank you all very much and please dont forget to nominate us for the Vendy Awards at http://www.streetvendor.org/vendys/nominate

Much Burger Love,

The Month That Was, Weekends, The Vendys & Who Owns the Streets

Howdy Burger Lovers,

WOW!!!! We had an AMAZING April!!!! Our best month so far, and of course we owe it all to you and your impecable taste in Burgers :) Thank you for showering us with Burger Love everyday, rain or shine! We truly appreciate it and promise to always keep our standards of quality and service befitting you, our Burgerific fans.

This upcoming weekend, May 8 - 9, we will be inaugurating Weekend Burger Love! Many of you have asked about it, and we had to work out some logistical issues, but now we're ready to spread Burger Love 7 days a week! We would love to get suggestions from you as to where we should go. Folks who suggest the neighborhood we pick get some free Burger Lovin'! Send your suggestions to us through Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/fritesnmeats, or via email to feedme@fritesnmeats.com or by posting them as comments here.

The Vendys, the Oscars of food for the real New York, are open for nominations. Here's your chance Burger Lovers to be heard loud and strong. Just go to http://streetvendor.org/vendys/nominate and fill out the little form. Thank you very much!

Before we get to the weekly schedule & Burger of the Week, we wanted to use this blog for its true intent - communicating, asking questions, voicing frustrations, just asking "Why is this like this?"

There are two types of street food vendors in NYC. The old timers (guys whove been doing this for decades and park their cart in the same location everyday, and, like us, the new guys (mostly truck operators who daily move from location to location everyday). We, at Frites'N'Meats, are pretty much live and let live people. We have no interest in interfering with others, disrespecting others or foisting our beliefs or ways of doing things on others. We believe that it's not cool to go to a spot that a person has occupied everyday for years and essentially force them out for your benefit, but we do not think that just because you occupy a certain spot one day a week that you somehow "own" that spot the other days that youre not there. We do not believe that anyone who parks in a space one day a week, has the right to demand that someone who is there on a day they are not, leave that spot because they feel that their day no longer works and want to use your day. I know that sounds a little confusing, so let me provide an example without using names.

We used to park on Water & Broad in FiDi on Mondays, while another truck parked there Tuesdays. Then one day, due to their decreasing sales, the owner of the other truck came to us and said "I have to change my spots around. I want to be in that spot on Monday, you have to leave!" They then proceeded to tell us that they had the right to kick us out since they "owned" that spot because they had been coming there one day a week for 6 months. We told them that that didn't seem right as these are public streets and anyone is allowed to be there. Our reasonable comments upset this vendor greatly who then proceeded to start shouting and threatening to physically assault us.

We understand that business is business, but making violent threats as well as claiming "ownership" of something that is clearly public and does not belong to anyone but the city is a bit over the top. This is especially difficult to comprehend since when we thought of parking on Water & Broad we informed this particular vendor that we would be doing that. At that time they had no issue with that, nor did they make any conditions on our being able to do so.

Anyway, just wanted to express that and give you a bit of a glimpse in the "seedy underbelly" of the street food business. It ain't as glamorous as it appears ;)

Back to the fun stuff.

This week's sched for the remainder of the week is:
Tues - 52nd St & Park Ave (Midtown East)
Wed - 48th St & 6th Ave (Midtown West)
Thur - Water & Broad (FiDi)
Fri - Park Ave bet. 26th & 27th St (NoMaD)
Sat - TBD (let us know where we should be)
Sun - TBD (let us know where we should be)

The Burger of the Week this week is the El Cubano!
A Seasoned Grassfed Angus Patty
Rosemary Ham
Gruyere Cheese
Pickles
Sassy Secret Sauce

Also gotta tell you about the dessert we're packing this week. It is F***ing Amazing!!!! Cherry Walnut Brioche Bread Pudding with Godiva Liquor & Vanilla Cream Sauce! 'Nuff said, know what we're sayin'

WTF and Other Tales of Schadenfreude

Howdy Burger Lovin' Friends,

Sorry for not updating the blog for a little a bit. This week in addition to telling you about our schedule and burger of the week, I wanted to use this blog to discuss something I've been noticing taking place and accelerating in society, specifically American society. Schadenfreude - pleasure derived from the misfortune of others. We see it in our politics as members of one party tear down members of the other party, not due to disagreement on issues, not because one party has better solutions, but becuase it gives a certain sociopathic pleasure to embarrass the opposition on a personal level. We see it in how individuals behave - whether in the workplace or in society at large by blaming their problems on others and deriving pleasure from the misfortune of our fellow human being. And last week, certainly on a much less serious level, Schadenfreude came to roost in the world of Burger Love.

On Tuesday, having just opened for lunch in Tribeca, in the same spot we have been almost daily for the last 6 months, we recieved a visit from the local police officer dealing with vendors. He and his partner were perfectly nice and brought us the following message "Leave now & never return". When we asked why, almost sheepishly the officer said "I'm sorry, I know you're not bothering anyone, I know you're only trying to make a living, and honestly your menu looks very good, but someoen complained and when they do, I have to ask you to leave. If you do not leave, or if I see you here again, I will issue you a summons and may confiscate your truck". Confiscate the Truck?!?!?! This is where Schadenfreude comes in. Why would someone call the police? If we are doing something that bothers someone, why doesn't that someone come up to the truck, tell us their concerns, possibly see us as reasonaable human beings and give us the opportunity to address their issue. Instead, it's easier to demonize and in an anonymous manner, destroy. It's easier to get someone who possess unarguable authority to deal with your problems then deal with them yourself. History is full of incidents when force rather than reason was used to achieve short term objectives, but never long terms results. The agent of force, the officer in this case, didnt even know why he was being sent to ask us to leave. He couldnt tell me what the complaint was, just that one had been anonymously lodged and he had to act on it. In my opinion, and in the opinion of everyone who came to the truck that day and was informed of what was happening, it wasn't fair and as some said showed incredible mean-spiritedness on the complaintants part. What was it that we were doing that caused this person so much discomfort, that their singular desire to be rid of us outweighed the pleasure we seem to give the hundreds of customers who visit us every week in Tribeca. What was it that we did that made this person say "The hell with all these people, what I want is more important". Why are the desires of the few, more important than the needs of the many. History is littered with moments in time where the path of confrontation was much easier than the path of conversation and consensus. This approach has never lead to peaceful co-existance but to long-term resentments and grudges. We must remember that today's conquered are tomorrows conquerers. And Burger Love conquers all. So that day, we moved. Not far. A couple of blocks. And then we Tweeted about it. The indignation and outporing of support were incredible to see. It showed us that while Schadenfreude is powerful, the forces of Goodness & Burger Love are far more powerful. We saw it that day and we thank you, our Burger Lovin' friends for showering us with your love when we felt so low. However, in the end, in this case, the Forces of Evil won a short term victory. We will no longer be able to do Lunch Service in Tribeca. We cannot risk the confiscation of our business. We feel absolutely terrible about this, but with the laws being what they are, and with anonymous black-hearted, Burger Hating people roaming the streets of Tribeca, we cannot take this chance. We will continue to do daily dinner service in Tribeca at Greenwich & Duane, in front of the Food Emporium.

OK, that's that. Just had to get that off our chest.

We've got our fourth Weekly Twitter Free Lunch Winner!!!! Congratulations to

The Week That Was, Another Winner & The Week Ahead

Howdy Amigos,

Looks like we've got a mighty fine week ahead of us. Nice weather. No rain in the forecast. The Burger Gods are smiling on us.

We had a hell of a week. It seems week after week, Burger Love in NYC is growing by leaps and bounds. Sometimes it grows so fast we can't keep up. That was the case this past weekend in MIDTOWN. The weather was perfect, we were in our spot on 48th & 6th, we were ready...or so we thought. The phone started ringing off the hook. in our effort to please all our customers we started taking preorders at 11am. By the time we were done taking preorders at 1130, we had 48 orders that were going to be picked up by 1230. This wouldnt have been a problem. However, this being MIDTOWN, where it seems our most rabid fans spend their time, by noon, we had a line of at least 30 people. This also was not a problem. Indeed this gets us really juiced. We love seeing our fans come out. Then, however, we had a little grill fire. This was a bit of a problem. This last thing, put us a bit behind the ball. We saw some of you leave because you couldnt wait so long. We are very very sorry about that. It is always our goal to get you the best burger possible in the shortest amount possible. And for a little while on Wednesday, we werent doing that very well. To all those that either waited a long time to get their lunch or just couldn't wait anymore, we apologize BIG TIME!!!! We promise that will not happen again. We have taken steps to ensure that. But, as the say, the proof is in the pudding, or in our case, in the Burger. So, MIDTOWN, come out this Wednesday and see the results!!!

Wednesday, however, wasnt all bad. One great thing did come out of it. The Wall Street Journal contacted us, and will be doing a write up of us for their new New York Metro edition (dont know if theyre calling it that). We will be in the first edition of this new section. Its supposed to appear during the last week of April.

We've got our second Weekly Twitter Free Lunch Winner!!!! This winner is from Tribeca, and we hope he'll be coming by either Tuesday or Friday to pick up his Free Burger Love!!!
Congraulations to our second winner,

Jose Pablo Rodriguez

Best Reason to Follow Us on Twitter

Howdy folks,

We gotta get going. Our motto is "Saving the World One Burger at a Time", and we know that you, our followers are rabid about our Burger Love, but if we're going to save the world with Burger Love, we gotta get more followers to spread the word. We need Billions & Billions of followers if we hope to affect global change through Burger Love. We'll we know we can't get people to follow us by making empty promises and offering you nothing in return for your loyalty. After all we're not the Republiucan Party or the Catholic church or some other salacious, falacious organization. We're Frites'N'Meats damnit, and like all "political" organizations (if Tea can have it's own party, why cant Burger Love), we believe in the timelessness of quid pro quo, to get something you gotta give something. So we decided to provide you with the greatest reason to sign up for our Twitter feed.

Every week we will give away a free lunch to a different Twitter Frites'N'Meats subscriber. You sign up once, you have 52 chances a year to win free lunch. 52 chances a year. Every year. Forever. How cool is that. Who wouldnt want to look forward to winning some killer Burger Love week after week after week.

We will notify the each week's winner with a direct message on Twitter over the weekend. They will have to bring the direct message to our 21-foot monster of Burger Love to claim their Free Lunch.

So what do you have to do? You, the already signed up, need do nothing. Youre already entered in perpetuity. But to further the cause of Burger Love and help us in our World-saving efforts, you must tell your friends, and then make them tell their friends, and so on. We must be bigger than those Tea Bag Party people (tongue in cheek intended). Lets see that Twitter total start spinning like a cartoon odometer.

A well seasoned Grassfed Angus Patty
Cream Cheese
Jalapeno Pepers
Applewood-smoked Double Thick Bacon

That's about it amigos. Have a great week, and remember sign up for the Burger Love party. It's a lot more fun than being a Tea Bag.

Springtime for Burger Lovers

Spring arrived in glorious fashion last week. With one day better than the next it was tough to believe that we'd be back in the 50's this week. What a tease...but it was still nice to realize that the Hell that was this Winter is finally over...we hope.

This past glorious weather week also gave us some insight into the hunger you've all been experiencing this winter for some Burger Love. You came out in droves. We were especially happy to see the folks in Tribeca, our Home area, coming out in large numbers. We were hoping that you hadnt grown weary of us over the last few months or had forgotten about us due to our February hiatus, but neither proved the case. You were all missing our Burger Love and its so cool to see all of you.

This week were keeping the same schedule, with Wednesday still continuing to be our day of uncertainty. We still feel a bit uneasy about Midtown West in the 50's after our run in there with the man in Blue two weeks ago. And truth be told our first foray into Midtown East proved a bit disappointing (certainly a pale shadow of the welcome we received in Midtown West). So we're not sure. We might return to Midtown East and see if having a week to spread the word will result in more people coming out or perhaps try a different spot in Midtown West other than the 50s or perhaps we'll end up somewhere else entirely. Anyway, here's our sched for the week.

Mon & Thurs - Broad St & Water St. in Financial District
Tues & Fri - Greenwich St. & Chambers St. in Tribeca
Wed - More than likely we'll be in Midtown. Keep an eye on Twitter for exact location
Dinner Service - 3:30 - 7:30 in Tribeca. Keep an eye on Twitter for exact location

Our Burger of the Week last week, The Ploughman, proved so popular with so many of you, that we're bringing it back for an encore this week. For those that don't know, The Ploughman is:
A well seasoned Grassfed Angus patty
Topped with Cheddar & Gruyere cheese
With Cole Slaw & Savory Onion Jam

Think that's about it for now. Gotta go. Time to make the Burgers
