CUT THE HORSE S***!

The best burgers in NYC are the ones you create from whole cuts of local beef, ground fresh daily at 4food.

As well as possibly horse meat, and thus phenylbutazone (a toxic anti-inflammatory that is banned for use in humans but is still used to treat horses), processed burgers can often contain pork, and usually many of the following: ammonia drenched boneless lean beef trimmings (aka pink slime), up to 30% added fat, monosodium glutamate (MSG), calcium caseinate (a hidden source of MSG and other additives), hydrolyzed corn, yeast extract (a natural-sounding flavor booster that may contain as much free glutamate as MSG and has similar side-effects), soy protein isolate (which is probably genetically modified as 95% of soy in the US is and may have side effects such as diminished libido and erectile dysfunction), propylene glycol (a “less toxic” version of ethylene glycol which is a dangerous anti-freeze), ammonium sulfate (an acid wash for meat trimmings), calcium silicate (a white powder that is often used to prevent brick and cement caking), and azodicarbonamide in the buns (an odorless synthetic chemical used in the production of foamed plastics, which is banned as a food additive almost everywhere else in the world - in fact, if you were caught using it in Singapore you would face 15 years imprisonment and a $450,000 fine).

4food on the NW Corner of Madison Avenue and 40^th Street is a safe-haven from the horse s***.  Visit us at any time 7AM to 11PM weekdays and 11 AM to 6PM Saturdays. Tour our immaculate culinary commissary, where we grind our own beef (sourced from local farms), form our own patties, and produce 99% of our products from scratch (from the best produce on earth), every day - three of thousands of ways we’re de-junking fast food.

The very best burger in NYC is one you can create and name yourself.

Local. Natural. Yours. WELCOME TO 4FOOD.
