EV Grieve is an ad-free East Village blog where you'll find local news on the real estate, restaurants and residents of the East Village NYC. Launched in December 2007.
Lovenburg, a fast-food burger joint based in Antalya, Turkey, is coming to the United States, opening its first outpost at 328 E. Sixth St. between First Avenue and Second Avenue.
Lovenburg promises a variety of "homemade natural burgers" ...
I don't read Turkish, so I can't tell from the blurb what kind of meat they use. Anyone? (Turkey has a huge stray dog problem, so I hope this isn't a Sweeney Todd-esque scenario.)
This is what it says in terms of the meat they use (my translation as a native Turkish speaker):
Lovenburger's patty is 100% natural minced meat, mix of spices and garlic, and is served with Lovenburger's special sauce (tomoto paste water and spice mix.)
Have never visited a Lovenburger in Yurkey, so can't say anything about its quality. That said, when you get away from the usual chains, basic Turkish buffets tend to do a good job with burgers, so the possibility of a good product is certainly there.
Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.
By the way
Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.

@Bing translate just told me they're "100% natural minced meat."

Soylent green, maybe.

Either Chopped Lamb or Chopped Camel. My Turkish isn't as good as it used to be.
I’m dismayed by the dog meat/camel meat comments, which I would not expect from my EV neighbors.
