Superiority Burger turns 10

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.
