Like most successful enterprises, Williamsburg's DuMont has evolved from its humble roots, supplementing its basic comfort-food menu with ambitious specials. There are those customers, though, who can't see past the joint's justly-famous burger and "DuMac & Cheese," to the occasional vexation of its co-chefs. It's for those throwbacks—and the hordes of Bedford Avenue barhoppers—that owner Colin Devlin has opened DuMont Burger, a 30-seat spinoff with a full bar and simple menu of burgers, sandwiches, salads, and desserts—plus delivery and takeout. — Rob Patronite and Robin Raisfeld
