Big & Littles

BIG & little's has a lot working against it. It's a tiny restaurant with just 12 stools (and outdoor picnic tables when weather permits), the menu is limited, and it's in a location allergic to foot traffic. How does a place like that make it? Well, let's just say D'Alessandro was speaking the truth when he proudly declared after Gordon Ramsey booted him, "I still think I have the palate of a god."

The hand-formed patties are made from ground chuck. Toppings are traditional, with lettuce, tomatoes, onions, ketchup, and mustard coming with, and American cheese and fried eggs available as add-ons.
