The Mini-Burger Hangover Cure at FREDDY JUNIOR'S on Broadway

Both my uncle and my brother swear up and down that the best cure for a hangover is one, just one, McDonald's cheeseburger with extra pickles. No fries or nothin'—just one Mickey D with cheese. Well, I'm here today to call bullshit on this. I've tried it, and I have to say, those flat, gray, $1.29 silver-dollar-pancake-sized burgers with soggy, floppy pickle slices can't hold a candle to the mini-burgers they make at Freddy Junior's. They're only $2 apiece—treat your hangover to three, or even four, of these correctly BROWN-colored, slider-sized burgers. There's a classic (for only $1.85!) called "The Junior" that just has lettuce, tomato, ketchup, special sauce, mustard, and cheese. But the REAL Freddy superstars are "The Wrangler" (same as the Junior, but with barbecue sauce and Durkee-style fried onions, the kind that you shake out of a can to top a green-bean casserole at Thanksgiving) and "The Daredevil" (which also has fried onions, plus buffalo wing sauce [spicy!] and blue cheese [extra-cheesy! Mmm-mmm!]). At the free condiment station, you can also add fresh onions or jalapeños to any mini-burger and, more importantly, pickles. I asked about the pickles last time I was in there, 'cause they're super-tangy, sliced really thick, and there was a bay leaf floating in the container with them.

"We make them in-house," shrugged the guy behind the counter, like it was no big deal, like he had no idea that THEY ARE THE BEST PICKLES EVER (or at least the best sliced pickles ever at a burger joint).

You can also pay an extra 25 cents to add things like bacon or grilled pineapple to any and all of their little hangover nuggets of joy, and you can order any of them with a vegetarian Field Roast patty, same price (though in a place that has a cow wearing a cowboy hat for a logo, why the hell would you do that?!). Freddy's also has mini–hot dogs for $2 (though everybody and their mother knows that hot dogs are too salty after a night of boozing), milkshakes, and french fries—oh, the french fries! I believe these to be a key player in the hangover-curing. Freddy's fries their potatoes in peanut oil, so they're super crispy and crunchy. No soggies or floppers (cough... lookin' at YOU, Dick's french fries!). My uncle would tell me to skip the fries, but I would argue. This is probably why I've always been the chubby one in the family. (1513 Broadway, 323-1413)
