"Chef Kwame Onwuachi's patty-focused concept, which debuted as a patty stand at Citi Field, is expanding into a permanent takeout booth at the forthcoming food hall near Union Square and will run a summer stand in the performance-venue plaza serving curried chicken patties." - Emma Orlow
"This trailer parked at St. Elmo Brewing Company makes our favorite smashburger in town. It’s well-seasoned, the bun is toasted nicely, and there’s just enough cheese, pickles, and special sauce to prevent the thin patties from getting too dry. This is the smashburger that other smashburgers aspire to be more like. Even better, you can turn the stretch of bars and restaurants surrounding Patty Palace into an all-day crawl like we once did." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
"Patty Palace at The Yard makes our favorite smashburger in town. It also wins the award for “Thinnest Patty That Might Get Mistaken For An Ancient Piece Of Papyrus.” These patties are almost paper-thin with a dark crust that looks like it’s bordering on burnt but without the accompanying bitterness. It’s well-seasoned, the bun is toasted nicely, and there’s just enough special sauce to prevent those thin patties from feeling too dry." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion, matthew jacobs
"Chef Kwame Onwuachi debuted a patty-focused restaurant in Citi Field earlier this spring and has announced plans to open a second location in Union Square, signaling continued interest in patty concepts across New York venues." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Chef Kwame Onwuachi — fresh off a Met Gala appearance and a cooking gig — confirmed via DM that he’s expanding his fast-casual Jamaican patty shop with a second location inside the forthcoming Union Square food hall. He debuted the original fast-casual stand earlier this spring inside the New York Mets' stadium Citi Field with a single item: the curried chicken patty with coco bread. The Manhattan food hall stand will feature additional dishes — potentially classic beef patties and jerk mushroom iterations — and will also carry his sparkling water brand Miri." - Nadia Chaudhury
