Big changes are on the horizon for Duncan’s Burgers: the late night burger delivery service has teamed up with one of Bushwick’s favorite dive bars! Last Wednesday, Duncan’s officially began serving up burgers in the front room of The Johnson’s on Troutman St, just off the Jefferson L. Dubbed “Duncan’s Fancy”, the venture will feature an expanded version of Duncan’s current, simple burger options.
Galen Duncan, founder of Duncan’s Burgers, began serving up burgers to Bushwick in 2014 when he set up his burger cart in the kitchen of The Rookery before becoming an independent burger slinger, who was often stationed behind The Bodega Wine Bar. He also set up in the kitchen of AP Cafe during the cold months to beat the winter chill: he’s a self-described “burger gypsy” moving from location to location, trying to find the best place to cook. But all the while, he’s been delivering his delicious burger creations to drunken bargoers (who can order via test message) throughout Bushwick.
Management at The Johnson’s had always wanted to introduce some kind of food service at their beloved spot, but juggling a bar and a full kitchen can be serious undertaking: as such, when Duncan walked in one day and pitched the idea, it struck them as a perfect pairing.
