HELLMANN’S MAYONNAISE
American
Condiment
Find | Condiments
Nine times out of ten I leave condiments off my burger, I prefer to enjoy the taste of the meat itself. When you have great high quality meat, and that burger is cooked correctly you shouldn’t need to add anything else to it. The meat will speak for itself. But if I’m using a condiment, it’s Hellmann’s Mayo.
EATALY
Chelsea / Flatiron
Italian / Food Market
The cleanest butcher shop in the country and they will custom cut anything there for you. It's one of my favorite places to go in NYC.

I love the burger here. Pretty much any restaurant that doesn't require to overcook their meat. That cements the understanding that the quality can not be trusted.
