Happy Friday! It’s that time of the week again, when you’re torn between actually going out to eat and staying safe in your blanket burrito all weekend. I know the struggle too well, my guy. But here’s a list of new foodie things worth leaving the house for.

All the Food Porn

Stretchy eating pants at the ready! Food Porn Fest returns this weekend in Williamsburg, and you guessed it — the food bonanza is taking place in a big warehouse. Ready to eat till you drop? All you have to do is pay the $3 entrance fee. Say no to hanger and bring a friend. Last year, more than 5,000 people came to the event, so make sure to RSVP!

  • ALL DAY Happy Hour
  • $5 Shrimp Rolls (usually 9 bucks)
  • Brand new Lobster Mac & Cheese

AND enter a raffle for the chance to win FREE LOBSTER ROLLS FOR A YEAR! 2018 sounds better already.

Punny Burgers Ahead

This one’s not exactly happening this weekend, but when there are punny burgers in the NYC food forecast, we’re going to mention it.

From Monday, Dec 18th to Sunday, Dec 24th, the guy behind LA cult-favorite Eggslut, Chef Alvin Cailan, is opening a pop-up inspired by TV show Bob’s Burgers. The seven day affair is happening only at pop-up restaurant Chefs Club Counter in Soho.

Staying true to Bob’s trademark, each burger of the day will have a silly name worthy of a single “Ha.” So grab that special friend who loves puns and grub as much as you do, and get that “Don’t You Four Cheddar ‘bout Me” Burger.

Full menu here.

Chefs Club Counter

62 Spring Street

Hours: 8am — 9pm
