Today in New York GO Burger (from the fine folks at the BLT empire) opened a food truck bringing gourmet burgers to various NYC neighborhoods. For the lucky few who got there in time (we are glad to be included in this group), today they gave away free burgers. You have to love "practice runs". Under a perfect, warm spring sun, we ate our burgers, and they were delicious. Perfectly cooked and topped with onions, lettuce and sweet pickles. We look forward to being able to add fries and a vanilla shake to the order.
So with all this talk of burgers, it made us wonder who has the best burger? In New York you have the Shake Shack lovers who swear the 45 minute line is worth it. The perennial favorite is always the Corner Bistro, although besides the good location that love affair completely escapes us. Do the new outposts in town like Market Table & Little Owl outperform the old standards like JG Melon and PJ Clarke's?
It seems it's been a good year for burgers for us. For such a "lowbrow" meal, it has packed a lot of flavor. When we were in Las Vegas we had a late night burger at Bradley Ogden, and we are convinced it could make a vegetarian eat meat again. We have a friendly debate among ourselves, but some are convinced that Bradley Ogden has provided the best tasting burger ever. A spicy mustard, a tasty bun just add to the perfection that is the deliciously seasoned meat. There is an argument in favor of The Grape in Dallas. Another for JG Melon in New York City.
Where is your favorite burger? And what made it the best?
One thing we do know is that with the weather getting better, we are excited about new outdoor burger joints even if we do have to chase a truck.
