About Superiority Burger

Brooks Headley — former pastry chef at Del Posto — opened Superiority Burger on Avenue A in 2015 with a plant-based burger that made critics reconsider what a vegetarian patty could be. The Superiority Burger is a dense, well-seasoned patty with a proper crust from the flat-top, dressed simply on a potato roll — the kind of burger that makes the meat version seem beside the point. The menu rotates constantly: grain bowls, burritos, and sides reflect whatever seasonal produce Headley is working with. The soft serve is excellent and the prices are remarkable for what you get. Superiority Burger is the proof that the most exciting food in New York is often happening in the smallest rooms.
