Music pioneer Lou Reed passed away over the weekend. Here's a 2010 New Yorker story on the Spotted Pig. On the burgers: "the restaurant's chef, April Bloomfield, serves [them] one way: char-grilled, on a brioche bun, topped with crumbled Roquefort. Only Lou Reed, a fixture in the neighborhood, is allowed to have his burger with onions, and that is owing to precedent: an awestruck employee took his order one afternoon when Bloomfield was out."
