Soho's latest burger joint only has Wagyu burgers on the menu
When I think of chef Phillip Frankland Lee, his Michelin-starred tasting menus come to mind, be it sushi in a speakeasy setting at Sushi by Scratch or multi-course, scratch-made pastas at Pasta Bar. But for the past few years, chef Lee has been dipping his toes in the fast-casual realm, jumping on the smashburger trend. But for Lee, his joint has only one burger on the menu, and one burger only—and that burger is Wagyu. And as of today, New York has 'em too.
Today, NADC Burger is making its debut in Soho. The eatery, which stands for 'Not a Damn Chance,' comes from a seemingly unlikely duo, as chef Lee teamed up with professional skateboarder Neen Williams. The longtime friends who bonded over skateboarding and eventually cooking, the duo first brought the concept to Austin back in 2022. Now, the mini burger chain has locations in Chicago, Denver and Fort Worth, Texas, with the latest to land right here in NYC.
'What started as two friends chasing the ideal burger has grown into something bigger, and bringing it to New York, a city with so much devotion to food, feels unreal. We can't wait for New York to taste what we've built,' said Neen Williams, co-founder of NADC Burger, in a press release.
Only two burgers exist on the menu here: the NADC Burger and a kid's version. The signature smash uses two Wagyu patties with onions pressed right in, layered with American cheese, a swirl of house-made sauce, plus pickles and jalapeños on a toasted potato roll. The kid's version still gets the Wagyu treatment, featuring a singular patty topped with cheese. The only add-on here is the fries, which are fried in beef tallow. Order them plain with chipotle-peppered ketchup for dipping or get the Beast Mode option with melted cheese and special sauce, diced pickles and jalapeños. While most locations only have burgers and fries, the New Yorker location also has brown butter cookies and a chocolate shake.
While eating on the go is always an option, there is plenty to see inside the Soho shop. Lee and Williams's affinity for skate culture comes to life here, with custom artwork from local NYC artist Jappy Agoncillo and skateboards previously ridden by Williams mounted on the wall. There's also a corner for merch, including NADC-branded skate decks and Williams's signature NADC Spice Rubs. However, the real treat is the outdoor 50-seat patio, ready to welcome all for burgers alfresco.
As of today, the doors to the burger shop are now open. If you happen to stop by this opening weekend, from May 16 to 18, you can get a limited-time ice cream sandwich made by baker Jess Williams and pastry chef Margarita Kallas-Lee.

Wallis Day played Holly Cunningham in the soap for years before leaving. In 2021 Wallis won the role of Batwoman in DC's series, taking over from Ruby Rose.

'He's hugely popular and everyone's really sad to see him go but the storyline is great and it was all planned out before his return. 'There's going to be a big send off for Freddie as the soap ramps up for a huge summer leading to the 30th later this year.'

Queen's two-word comment after seeing Archie and Lilibet for final time
Princess Lilibet met the Queen during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022. Yesterday, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's daughter, Princess Lilibet turned four years old and the proud mum shared several unseen snaps on her social media to mark the occasion. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex welcomed their youngest child into the world in on June 4, 2021, two years after the birth of her older brother Archie, who is now six. In 2020, the family relocated to the US after Harry and Meghan made the decision to step back from their royal duties. And two years later, in 2022, Harry's grandmother, the longest-serving British monarch, passed away at the age of 96, prompting him and Meghan to return to the UK to be with his family. Looking back on his children's "final visit" to the Queen, Prince Harry suggested she was "bemused" by the youngsters, writes The Mirror. In his autobiography Spare, Harry opened up about her funeral before saying: "The following morning, Meg and I left for America. "For days and days we couldn't stop hugging the children, couldn't let them out of our sight, though I also couldn't stop picturing them with granny, the final visit. "Archie was making deep, chivalrous bows, his baby sister Lilibet cuddling the monarch's shins." Recounting his grandmother's response, he said she referred to them as the "sweetest children", while "sounding bemused". "She'd expected them to be a bit more... American, I think? Meaning, in her mind, more rambunctious," he added. "Now, while overjoyed to be home again, doing drop-offs again, reading Giraffes Can't Dance again, I couldn't stop remembering." After she passed away, her son, Harry's dad, ascended to the throne as King Charles III, with his wife Camilla taking on the role of Queen Consort. Reports suggest that King Charles and Queen Camilla have met Archie a handful of times but have only met Lilibet once during the Platinum Jubilee celebrations for Queen Elizabeth II in June 2022. In recent years, Prince Harry and his family have become distant, a fact he confirmed himself in a recent interview. Speaking to the BBC, the Duke of Sussex expressed a desire for reconciliation, stating: "There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious." Harry said that his father "won't speak to him" following a dispute over his security arrangements. This year, Harry faced defeat in a legal case concerning the downgrading of his personal security level. Reflecting on the verdict, he shared: "I'm devastated - not so much as devastated with the loss that I am about the people behind the decision, feeling as though this is okay. Is it a win for them? "I'm sure there are some people out there, probably most likely the people that wish me harm, W.H.O. consider this a huge win." Prince Harry also mentioned that he has decided against pursuing further legal action, as the judgement "proven that there was no way to win this through the courts". He went on to say the decision also meant that he "can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point". Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
