Superiority Burger turns 10

Photos by Stacie Joy

Superiority Burger marked its 10th anniversary in the East Village this past week with frozen raspberry semifreddo pie, DJs Amy and Kirk, and a crowd of devoted fans packing the restaurant's Avenue A space.

Owner Brooks Headley (second from the left) was joined by managing partner Sheryl Heefner, head chef Nico Pryor, and GM Fowzy Butt for the celebration. 

The team has come a long way since opening in a tiny shop around the corner on Ninth Street in 2015 (first as a pop-up), before expanding to their current, larger home at 119 Avenue A in 2023.
The quirky "theoretical vegetable restaurant" is still drawing crowds — and odds are we'll be writing about its 20th anniversary, too.

Some of the best food the city has to offer. The specials are always novel and delicious. Desserts are unreal. That cinnamon roll makes me wonder why people are queuing for the other ones down the street. Give me a burger, those life-changing fries, and a date shake and I’m in heaven for the day.

Helps to know more background though (especially to explain why an average visit costs over fifty bucks for a burger, fries and desert): https://ny.eater.com/2024/3/15/24101756/ashwin-deshmukh-superiority-burger-jeans-scam
