The removing of Dentergems (a great beer, but our least popular one) will allow us from time to time to take advantage of special seasonal beers (as well as beers on special). We are hoping that the first special beer we get will be a keg of Dog Fish Head Punkin Ale.
This is part of the structure of new menu, designed to let us focus on the four most popular areas of our business: burgers, dogs, fresh keg bee,r & unique specials.
Learn more about Punkin Ale.

New menu news
The final edits on the new menu have been approved and we expect the new menu to go into effect some time between Xmas and New Years..
Thanks for your loyalty the last 3 years. We hope that you will be as excited by our new menu as we are. The menu has been pared down to the basics, and many of the dishes that have been removed will be back as specials.
Specials are one reason we have pared down the menu. We want to be able to offer more specials, more often; specials are something we have become famous for and we want to build on that tradition while still offering quality burgers and dogs.

Grace Lee
A fun thing about the restaurant business is meeting people. Today I had the pleasure of talking on the phone with filmmaker, Grace Lee, about screening her movie, "The best of the Wurst" at Broome Doggs (250 Broome St.).
We called her because last week she actually stopped by Broome Doggs for a currywurst, as she just happened to be staying in the area.
The Grace Lee Project is currently screening at the Film Forum..

new Menu coming FAST
We have been talking about it for a few months.. Now it's about to happen..
Our new menu is fast approaching. After nearly 3 years with no major price increases and increasing costs of business, it's time to raise our prices and finetune the menu. That means we are focusing more on what had made us famous. Burgers, Dogs, Specials, and of course, Beer.
Many of our plates and other items are being removed from the menu but they will return as specials. For those who know, we like to keep specials around for weeks or months and also to make them a bit seasonal. Ribs and Mac N Cheese in the winter, fresh seafood in the spring and summer.
A major upgrade is our combos will feature a full sized PINT of Schwag! Also, we will just sell beer in pints and pitchers

Unfolded Burger
Nothing makes me happier than the feeding of people. It's first about serving food they like... then, well, we try to make a few bucks.. but it's often hard to put context around food. There is living for food, and food for living.. At Schnack we try to do both.. The following BLOG entry I think puts Schnack into a nice context..
"November 1, 2005
A Movie that Rocks. I can't stop thinking about Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle. It’s one of those movies that creates the feeling that everything is okay — even as it acknowledges all the ways in which things aren’t. Most recently (just now) I was listening to Aretha Franklin doing “You’re All I Need to Get By” and I started thinking (as I’m prone to) about the “you” in that song could be (is) God ... and I thought about the dope-love scene. Also, I swear that few things have brought me as much comfort lately as “The universe tends to unfold as it should.” Reminds me of Lincoln’s story of the wise men who were charged by an Eastern monarch to bring them a sentence that would be true in all places, and all times. They came back with “And this too shall pass away.”
Meanwhile, I have no taste for White Castle burgers ... but the movie has got me obsessed, again, with Schnack."

Art
Some people don't know Art even when they are staring right at it.. Not a problem in Columbus Ohio!
Porky's
Same name as the movie, but since 1949 Porky's Drive-in has been a fixture in Mansfield Ohio. Great Coney's (hot dogs, Ohio style!).
No Fries, Chips
While Schnack has a knack for nice french fries, not every place can serve fries... there is the famous saying, "no fries, chips!..."
In Ohio, as I often did in my youth, I stopped by a local chip factory for some warm hot off the line potato chips..
Burger Places
In May (2005) I was in Ohio to eat a lot of road food... We had planned a road food adventure this summer but Water Taxi Beach took over my life...
Here are a few pictures from the road..
3 of them are burger joints and 1 of them (Balyeat's) is a super coffee shop near the Ohio / Indiana border.
Kewpee (Lima)
Balyeat's (Van Wert)
Burger Wagon (1917; Miamisburg)
Crabills (1927; Urbana)

Menu update
We are working on updating our menu. We are going to remove a few items from the menu and feature more specials; some of the regular items being removed will come back as specials (often).
We are also, for the first time since we opened in 2003, having to raise our prices on the burgers. We will be bringing the prices in line with our 4th Ave store, and switching from the current Stahl-Meyer hot dogs to the Stahl-Meyer Black Angus dog (which we sold at Water Taxi Beach and sell currently at Schnack #2 and at Broome Doggs).
We expect to have the new menu in place in Nov or Dec.
In the meantime, single Schnackies are still $1 each, get them while they last.

It's hard to have a single contest and yet, have two winners. Not a tie, of course as it wasn't even close... so what am I talking about?
It's like this... At Schnack #2 @ the Brooklyn Lyceum we had our 1st Annual Open Burger Eating Contest, and to narrow down the field we had an elimination round followed by the actual contest.
The clear winner of the prelim was Arnie Chowhound Chapman who downed 2 single Schnackies in 18.5 seconds. 2nd place in the prelim went to Gentleman Joe who handled his 2 in 33 seconds... making Chowhound the odds on favorite to win.
Then came the main event. As many burgers as possible in 8 minutes. Chowhound did a respectable 18 burgers (that’s about 2.25 a minute).
Gentleman Joe, who was relaxed and well composed bested everyone with an awesome 21 burgers in 8 minutes or 2.65 per minute.
Joe is a world class gentleman and a world class eater… you can check out his ranking... here

ERIC RICHMOND has been a fan of Brooklyn history since he first appeared on
3rd Place in Carroll Gardens in 1988. The more he looked, the more he
learned and the more he respected the talents, drive, and vision of those
that built a city into a national powerhouse of business, art, sports,
culture, and industry.
The Brooklyn Lyceum (a.k.a. Public Bath #7) is his contribution to polishing
up that historical luster.

Well, for us, summer is over...
We are still a bit slow from people being on vacation, and many of our plans for the summer didn't come through (including our road trip...), but the Beach got built, and we have been doing a bunch of catering lately and things are generally fairly well..
Our friend Paul is getting ready to leave NYC in favor of a few months in the north country and then a few more in China..
And there are many good things afoot..
