Smokey Burger Organic and Gyu Kaku Coming Soon To Midtown West

Thanks to Lunch’er Michelle for tipping us off to two new places about pop up on 44th street between 8th and 9th.  The first is a new burger joint called Smokey Burger Organic, which describes themselves as “organic burgers, salads, and sides, all natural shakes and sodas crafted from fresh quality ingredients.” I wish I could tell you more about it (price point, menu items, etc.), but the website they’ve plastered on the signs (smokeyburgerorganic.com) doesn’t appear to be functional yet.

With Five Napkin Burger and Island Burgers & Shakes up 9th avenue, Shake Shack half a block east and Steak ‘n Shake’s debut yesterday, the burger market’s getting to be a crowded one. Unless they’ve got something cool up their sleeves to entice us over there, I’m not sure if a burger place is what we need more of in Midtown West.

Now, Japanese BBQ?  That’s a different story altogether!

$10 Kobe Beef Kalbi All Day at Gyu Kaku

Thanks to @winedanddined for sending along this one… to celebrate their 10th Anniversary, Gyu Kaku (on 3rd Ave. and 50th) will be serving $10 portions of U.S. kobe beef kalbi for the ML price of $10 (for 3.5 ounces). It’s probably not enough for a full lunch, but it’s still a good deal (normally it’s $26!) Limit one order per person, while supplies last. They open at 11:30am

It’s $10 Kobe Beef Day at Gyu Kaku!: Apologies for the lateness of this one, but we just found out about it ourselves via Wined and Dined! Gyu Kaku (on 3rd and 50th) is celebrating its 10th Anniversary today by offering their kobe sampler (normally $40) for just $10. Limit one per table, but it looks like it's available all day long.

Gyu-Kaku’s Sizzling Hot Bibimbap is Under $10

Gyu-Kaku entrance

I’ve been on the hunt for a quality bulgogi-packed bowl of dolsot (read: sizzling hot) bibimbap in New York since I learned what it was five years ago by eating the Korean rice dish everyday in Australia. (It was cheap/delicious/so hot it hissed/came with bottomless banchan AKA Korean side dishes. I was a student. Cheap, unlimited anything was A+ in my book.) Zach came across a “pretty damn good” non-hot bibimbap at Cafe Amande deli last year, but I’ve been hoping to bump into its “pretty damn good” SIZZLING HOT cousin somewhere in Midtown East (aka outside of Koreatown). For five years, it’s been a fruitless search so imagine my surprise when I noticed a certain $9 lunch special at Gyu-Kaku (on 50th St. btw. 2+3rd) of all places…

More bibimbap after the jump. Read more »

Half Off Meat All May Long at Gyu Kaku… Pork Excluded: Thanks to Kayoko from Umamimart for passing along this deal: Gyu Kaku, the Japanese BBQ place on 50th btw. 2+3rd, is offering 50% off Monday-Wednesday, 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. throughout May. The deal applies to 8 different meats, including Gyu-tan and their chuck kalbi tare... but not to any pork. They are *still* not serving any because of the swine flu.
