Jerry: Not good enough! It’s too big.

George: Too big?

Jerry: Too big!

Kramer: Michael Kornick makes a nice burger.

Elaine: Get out!

Kramer: DMK Burger Bar, opening today. Thinner patties. Grass-fed beef. Griddle cooked.

George: Griddle?

Kramer: You got it. Caramelization, baby.

Jerry: What about cheese?

Kramer: Artisanal. Amish blue, Italian cambozola, Wisconsin cheddar. Delicious.

George: No American?

Kramer: Nope.

Elaine: I’m over American.

George: Over American?

Elaine: Over. it.

Kramer: What about deep-fried dill pickles, Elaine? Truffle fries? Chunky, old-fashioned malts?

Jerry: Now the malt — the malt is good.

Elaine: Do they have a Big Salad?

Kramer: You betcha. Big, small, DMK’s got it all. Veggie and turkey burgers, too. Giddyap!

George: Any beer?

Kramer: Six on draft and a slew of craft bottles, baby. Wine, too — custom blends.
