Halloween at Maxwell's NYC

I was out for a Halloween party at Maxwell's in Tribeca tonight with friends for some comfort food and that meant burgers, fries, mac & cheese and drinks before Hurricane Sandy blows us all away.  I'm not much of a burger girl as they all taste the same to me.  Being Asian, I love me my rice and rice just doesn't go well with beef patties on a bun.

I ordered the Maxwell's signature burger with slices of Angus rib eye, red wine gravy, sauteed onions, fried egg and horseradish mayo.  Now I chose this because I'm a gravy girl and steak with gravy on a burger bun sounded so enticing.  They could've added mashed potatoes in it and I would've died and gone to heaven.

The meat was cooked just right and the red wine gravy soaked the burger bun.  I guess I didn't eat fast enough so I had to fork my way through my burger because the bread was soggy already.  It was delicious but messy.  Fine by me, I actually would've loved a gravy-soaked burger bun had I been in the comfort of my own dinner table.  I just didn't want to be eating sloppily in a Tribeca bar.  This burger is perfect for breakfast too since the fried egg was a nice complement to an already filling meal.
