New Frites N Meats Truck Hit the Street Today (Downtown Lunch Jealousy Ensues)
Earlier in the month the Schnitzel Truck threw competition to the wind, and hipped everyone to a brand new vendor hitting the scene called Frites N Meats. One would assume burger and fries from the twitter account, but it’s all been pretty shrouded in secrecy… until today. The Frites N Meats has been spotted setting up on Greenwich and Chambers this morning- and from the looks of their website they’re serving up burgers and fries. They’ve got two kinds of burgers from DeBragga (grass fed angus, and wagyu), three different buns from Balthazar (brioche, potato onion, and sesame seed), and 5 different kinds of cheese from Murray’s (gruyere, goat, brie, cheddar, and blue.) Uh… that sounds pretty great.
We found out that their permit is only for that location in Washington Market Park… so sadly there will be no Frites N Meats for Midtown. (Boooooo!) I guess I take a little bit of solace knowing that our Downtown Lunch’ers are incredibly happy right now (but not much.)
Check out the menu, after the jump.
You can check out their official website, and follow them on Twitter here.

Putting expensive cuts of meat into burgers is like making ticker tape out of Picassos and Matisses..

Steve, you’re not REALLY a ‘Sr. Financial Analyst’, are you?
Come on, Steve, be honest with us. Tell us what you REALLY do to earn a living.

Was there today, and let me tell you: these burgers are freaken best. Yes, I’ve had the in-n-out, and the frites-n-meats burger beats it fair-n-square ;)
The meat was juicy, flavorful, just perfectly cooked – not too big and not small either, excellent portion for lunch served on a bun of choice (I had sesame but will definitely try the potato bun next time) and with your choice of additional toppings… I selected the bacon and the garlicky aoili along with Gruyere cheese. That came with tomato, onion and greens. Perfect. I predict long lines. Also, looks like they do the “stamp the card” thing: get your ten burgers and the 11th one is on them. As per one of the guys at the truck today: “you are getting closer to your freebie!” – cute!

FoodieShmoodie, your pic is gone. =( I’m definitely interested but debating how badly I want to try it. I never go to that area anymore.

I just want to say that I’m glad they didn’t jump on the LaFrieda wagon like all these other burger places. Yes, LaFrieda does great ground beef, but what makes each restaurant’s burgers stand out if the guy next door is using the same burger blend? I think the best burgers are ground in house (Like DBGB), the wagyu burger is so freakin good! So juicy! I bet these street burgers are 10 times better than Bill’s Burgers (had it yesterday and wasn’t impressed at all), but probably doesn’t compare to In-N-Out. Nothing can top In-N-Out, not even Shake Shack.

I had this today. The brioche bread is like the sesame seed bread, but softer (it has more egg in it). I had the angus burger with cheddar, onion jam and applewood smoked bacon. I followed it up with frites with the sundried tomato condiment. It was AWESOME.

what’s with all these “jesus wept” refrences, rudy?

MarisainMidtown, my first brie on a burger was at l’express recently and it was incredible.
So how many MLers are gutsy enough to line up and only order their free bread, raw onion, tomato, and mesclun greens with ketchup, mayo and mustard?
