Burger, BBQ, We've Got the Best in New York!

A quick congrats to Fette Sau (best BBQ) and Dumont Burger (best burger) for bringing some Zagat medals home. From NYDailyNews:
Fette Sau in Williamsburg, which earned 24 out of 30, offers the city’s best place “for pigging out” on barbecue, according to Zagat. “That’s nice, very cool,” said owner Joe Carroll, who opened the restaurant a year and half ago. The barbecue is so good, Carroll tells customers not to use a lot of sauce on his tasty meat – including such unusual offerings as pork belly, pig’s tail, lamb shank and tongue. The city’s best burger – served on a brioche bun with house-made pickles – was found nearby at DuMont, which also earned a 24 rating. “[That's] nice but not surprising,” said James Garvey, manager of DuMont, which opened in Williamsburg seven years ago. “We’ve worked really hard.”
We’re proud of you 
Maybe the best BBQ in New York City, but there’s no way you can stake that claim without coming down here to Austin, Texas and trying some of the best slow cooked beef in the country.
Oh yeah, you said New York. I’ve got to stop drinking in the morning.
Jake, I would shoot myself in the face before claiming Brooklyn somehow had better BBQ than Texas. Take solace in that. And yes, at least wait ’till noon.
