I couldn't help but think, if your husband wanted a ground cow sandwich so badly, why not just make it? I know you will come up with a list of reasons why it's not feasible, I just could not help but think it. Doesn't get easier.

I wish them success, but I wish I could be excited about their menu.

Fantastic.


Burger Eatery does have great food, but it's not the same as a sit/down restaurant and bar.

but maybe it will be, when they finish expanding into Ruthie's old hair salon?

But what about the quality of their ingredients?

I hope they don't use the same unsustainable and unethical meats that you find in other leading hamburger establishments.

I used to go to Marco and Pepe for their burgers.

Now I go to Burger, next to Torico's. I like their burgers better than Shake Shack, and they have cute outdoor tables now. I don't know why I didn't notice that place before, I go to Torico's all the time.

This. Their service had been going downhill for quite some time. And, their food was nowhere near as good as it used to be back in 2008/2009.

I hope the new owners keep the kale salad and the lobster roll. The lobster roll was a perfect and a bargain.

Wow. After many years, I went to Marco and Pepe's last Saturday. Who knew it might be the last time? I had a blue cheese burger, medium, and it was excellent. Good enough to come back for. I guess not.

Thanks for the "hot off the press" news. I will admit that I used to be a big fan of M&P for many years, but last visited a few years ago, after a few odd/unpleasant interactions and visits. They used to have a great menu that varied with the seasons, but which retained a few standouts throughout the year. At some point, they decided to tweak and really change the menu, and those changes really missed the mark. The last time I went there, I was really underwhelmed. There are so many good places in DTJC that enduring subpar food at M&P just wasn't worth it. Still, I am sad to see them go, as they had been an early booster of JC, and they really had some great food for a long while.
