An EVG reader has noted a steady stream of people coming in and out of the former Dirt Candy space on East Ninth Street this week. Paper still covers the windows on the storefront between Avenue A and First Avenue.
As we first reported on April 28, a menu for a jokey place called Chickens arrived in the window (Chicken Dip with Chicken Chips!)...

... later we heard that this will be a quick-serve restaurant serving vegetarian sandwiches. Eater confirmed yesterday that Del Posto pastry chef Brooks Headley is opening Superiority Burger, specializing in veggie burgers and other vegetarian fare.
Headley's creations have been attracting lines wherever he has sold them, including Christmas Day from the Dirt Candy location.
The space is expected to open to the public very soon. As soon as today maybe.
Dirt Candy closed here at the end of last August to move to a larger space on Allen Street.
Updated 6-25
The space is now open as of tonight.

Thanks for confirming the joke menu! Last week, I was chatting with some people and we thought it was for reals.
Time for more coffee!
P.S. There is a great sample sale on that same block til the 30th -- fair trade straw bags, hats... near Ave. A #436 East 9th!
Crap!! I was looking forward to drinking Chicken Punch!
Thank god it's not called C Spot!
Much better news!

This is great news. Believe it or not TGI Friday's has a great black bean veggie burger with a wasabi mayo sauce. Most of the veggie burgers in this town suck. Looking forward to finally finding a great one in the EV.
i love the name. at least he has a sense of humor.
