brgr (The Beautiful Day Burger and Blueberry Pomegranate Shake Shot)

The beautiful day burger ($7.55) is all grass fed beef dressed with American cheese, thousand island dressing, grilled onions, lettuce, tomato and pickles. It’s sort of like brgr’s version of a Big Mac, obviously though it’s much better. Brgr also offers all of their milkshakes served in shot form (5 oz for $2) this is [...]

goodburger (Cheeseburger and Lobster Bisque)

It’s hard to put the  cheeseburgers ($6.75) from goodburger up there with some of the better NYC chains such as Five Guys and Shake Shack. They’re by no means bad but a tad on the dry side and a bit bland. I do have an affinity for their crisp and properly seasoned fries but on [...]

Simply The Best (Entree Dishes)

Okay, so I’m not talking about specific dishes at specific restaurants like “Balthazar’s” steaks or Sushi Seki’s ” eel, but instead dishes that I often find myself ordering if they’re on the menu. These are the items that I might request for my last meal if I was ever on death row and then I’m [...]

Five Guys (Cheeseburger And Fries) (Max’s Pick)

So I had written this elaborate post on Five Guys, their history, and their burgers and like a complete shit head, I accidently deleted it. So, you’ll be getting an unbridged version. Plenty of people put this burger in their top five in NYC if not their favorite. While I don’t think it’s the best [...]

Five Guys (Cheeseburger and Fries) (Max’s Pick)

There was so much hype when the Virginia based franchise, Five Guys, opened up their first Manhattan location a couple of years ago. It got to the point where the wait times were ridiculous until about six months or so after they opened. A lot of people believe that Five Guys makes the best burger [...]

Pop Burger (Pop Burgers With Cheese And Fries)

‘It’s funny that everyone that I recommend Pop Burger to, comes back saying “it was good but it didn’t fill me up” I know exactly what they’re talking about.  I really like the mini cheeseburgers that come two to an order for $6.75. They’re almost always cooked medium rare, the meat is really flavorful and [...]

Johnny Rockets (#12 Burger, Fries, Vanilla Coke)

I’d never been to a Johnny Rockets prior to the visit I made about two weeks back when a location opened up a few blocks from my house on 1st Avenue in Midtown. Basically, Johnny Rockets is a 50′s diner complete with nickel jukeboxes that play Rock and Roll classics, a staff that breaks into [...]

Shake Shack (Shack Burger And Fries)

There’s nothing I can say about Shake Shack that hasn’t been said by every other food blogger in NYC. I think they make one hell of a burger and I would have to include it in my top three burgers in the city. To see my top five you’ll just have to wait until that [...]

JG Melon (Cheeseburger)

There are a few notable celebrities and self-proclaimed foodies who believe that JG Melon makes the best cheeseburger in New York (I have friends who are adamant about this as well). I am well acquainted with the food at JG Melon so when I suggest you should only try the cheeseburger ($8.75) and perhaps a [...]

Blue 9 Burger (Cheeseburger, Fries And Special Sauce)

Unfortunately Blue 9 Burger doesn’t get a lot if any mentions when food bloggers and writers list their favorite burger. And while there are certainly better burgers and better cheaper burgers the fast food style burgers that Blue 9 makes are pretty damn good. The actual restaurant is a disaster, it’s not the cleanest place [...]
