Red red wine!

Thursday night Peanut D & WW arranged a surprise farewell party for Langy at Pianos on the Lower East Side. Langy and her hubby, the mustachioed Casey are off on a cross-country adventure to the West Coast where the talented singer-songwriter will be recording with a new group and Langy will be documenting their road trip. I am sad for me, excited for them, however, it's not so much a farewell but a "see you soon" since we hope to catch up in a few weeks in LA.

Why post about a bar night? Well, the food of course! While enjoying the musical stylings of Mr. Moustache I ordered a red wine burger from the bar menu. WW highly recommended it and since her past recommendations included Frankie Spuntino's; if WW says eat it, I eat it!

Smunch joined me and had the grilled salmon and tuna burger with spinach and wasabi caper mustard. (You can see her comment/critique on her sandwich below...)

The red wine burger was fantastic! The peppery spicy burger was complimented with a porky slab of smoky bacon and sweet caramelized onions. And despite being more cooked than I would prefer; the beef was juicy and moist. Crispy salty seasoned fries with a sprinkling of parsley was the proverbial icing on the cake.

A thick juicy burger, a cold Stella Artois, a cool bar and a great group of people - can you beat it?
