If memory serves me correctly, the burger and fries were served in a basket.

Speaking of burgers and fries in a basket, do you or Vitelli happen to remember the name of the restaurant in Sheepshead bay and was there BEFORE it became The Grotto Di'Oro? They used to make one of the best burger and fries baskets and an awesome fried chicken and fries basket. Almost all of their combos were served in a basket. It was there for years and then when it closed down it became the Grotto Di'oro. I can't remember the name.
