How Can You Reach Our NYC Burger and Dining Editorial Team?
Send Dumont Burger your dining questions, media notes, partnership ideas, and business inquiries in a way that helps our team reply clearly.
What Kind of Inquiries Do We Welcome?
Good contact notes usually smell a little like the room they came from: a question about a burger you still remember, a tip from a neighborhood counter, a reader asking why one sauce clings better than another.
We welcome general business inquiries, editorial comments, corrections, dining leads, recipe questions, and press requests tied to Dumont Burger’s coverage of NYC dining, burger recipes, boozy shakes, sides, appetizers, and the old-school comfort that keeps a restaurant memory alive.
Reader Notes
Tell us what you cooked, where you ate, or which detail felt off. A short, specific note beats a long one padded with praise.
Business Questions
For general business inquiries, include the topic, the decision needed, and the best email thread to use. We do not need a deck for a simple first hello.
Press and Media
For press, interviews, quotes, or background requests, contact Priya Malhotra at [email protected].
Helpful note: If your message concerns a published article, include the page title or section name. It saves a round of back-and-forth and gets the right person reading sooner.
How Can Media and Partners Collaborate With Us?
Start with the fit, not the pitch.
Dumont Burger is interested in collaborations that make sense for readers who care about burgers, NYC dining, practical cooking, restaurant nostalgia, and the small choices that make a plate memorable. That can include media requests, editorial conversations, ingredient or product context, local dining coverage, or partnership opportunities with a clear reader benefit.
For Media Requests
Send the outlet name, topic, deadline, format, and whether you need a quote, background, or a longer conversation. If the request is tied to a trend piece, say what angle you are actually chasing.
We are more useful when we know the shape of the story early.
For Partnership Ideas
Give us the scope: what you are proposing, who it serves, timing, and what involvement you expect from Dumont Burger. We review partnership opportunities in the context of reader trust and editorial relevance, not just category overlap.
We are conservative about anything that could blur editorial judgment. If a conversation involves sponsorship, product placement, affiliate terms, or other commercial terms, name that early. Quiet details tend to get louder later, and nobody wants that halfway through a food story.
Best first email: Put the request type in the subject line, such as “Media request,” “Partnership idea,” or “Business inquiry,” then send it to [email protected].
When Can You Expect to Hear Back From Our Team?
We read contact mail with care, but not every note needs the same kind of reply.
Press requests with a clear deadline are easier to triage. Reader corrections get routed toward the relevant editorial review. Partnership ideas usually need a little more discussion because the details matter: audience, timing, rights, expectations, and whether the idea belongs on Dumont Burger in the first place.
What helps us respond faster
- Use one clear subject line instead of a vague “hello.”
- Include your name, organization if relevant, and the reason for writing.
- State any real deadline in the first few lines.
- Keep attachments light unless we ask for more.
- Send follow-ups in the same thread so the trail stays intact.
If your note is a correction, be precise. Tell us what line you are referring to and what you believe should change. If your note is a compliment, we read those too; old restaurant people never quite stop appreciating a good word passed across the counter.
For the clearest route in, write directly to Priya Malhotra at [email protected] with a plain subject line and the decision you need from us.
