When 5 friends went out for a burger at Arthur’s Steakhouse in Hoboken, NJ on Friday, October 16, 2008, none of them, especially me, envisioned a blog that would last this long, let alone launching and running consecutive Burger Weeks in NY was in the cards. But NYC, you love yourself some Burgers and that’s why it’s my duty to bring you the best of the best of them. I’m honored to have this role and I thank each and every one of you who participated in the most Burgerific celebration in a city that truly, truly appreciates a good time and a tasty Burger.

Granted there were some tasty side benefits but by being a part of NY Burger Week, you help show the rest of the world that we love our Burgers. I tip my hat and bow to you in honor.

In order of appearance, thank you to each of you.

My wife and talented novelist, Cara Lynn Shultz. You make my every day better and if Burgers ceased to exist today, my life would go on because I would still be able to share it with you.

Taste What You See On the Screen at the Food Film Festival in NYC, Chicago and now Charleston, SC. The people that put on this festival are some of the nicest, most fun and passionate people I have met in the hospitality business. I love being a part of your family and appreciate your support of NY Burger Week. George Motz, Seth Unger and Nicole Bergman – I love you. Your support of good food & good times makes life worth working for.

Jarlsberg Cheese rules, much like the people that represent it. There’s a reason you are successful and that’s because you realize Cheese is about life, it’s about community and it’s about sharing. Thank you for sharing with NY Burger Week. Ronnie, Aja & Casey, you are three hardest working people in the biz.

Jamie Schweid! I want your job. You wake up every day and get to talk about Hamburgers and not just any Hamburgers. Burger Maker Beef is some of the best in the business and I am honored to be able to represent your delicious product. Without you, there is no NY Burger Week. Here’s to Boston, Philly, Chicago and beyond.

Marc and Rob, my partners at Idle Hands Bar, thank you not just for a super fun kick off event but helping to make a childhood dream come true. To Dan & That Burger, all the best of luck buddy. I am psyched that we were able to help you take your business to all new levels. Don’t forget the little people when you have 600 That Burger locations along the Eastern Seaboard. Don’t forget, you owe us a Bourbon Ketchup release party. To Ally from Green Flash, Billy from Ballast Point & Dan from Stone Brewing Co, that awesome. Let’s do it again.

To Justin, Chef Ariel, Trevor and all at Harding’s, your restaurant is soon to be known as one of the best in the city. Thank you for allowing my crazy ideas into your fantastic restaurant. Jessica from Heaven Hill, I am psyched we got to work together. You are Bourbon’s best rep in the big city. The Whiskey Roundtable brings you super rad Whiskey events in NYC and you should pay more attention to what they do. Thanks Ellie.

Andrew from Boozy Burbs & William Cho from Hudson 303 Sport Cafe helped change the definition of “NY Burger Week” to mean not just inside the 5 Boroughs. Thank you.

Times Square is a crazy place with a lot of crazy things going on and thanks to Jeff Gliner, Samantha Bevacqua and everyone at Bowlmor, Get Real Presents got to make it a little crazier with the world’s first Beer, Bowling & Burger Festival. Your Chef NAILED my Burger menu and you’re staff is the best in the business. Thanks for letting us do our thing. To Union Beer Distributors and all the brand managers and their Beers that we poured, you made this inaugural event happen. We thank you. Man oh man, I LOVE Potato Chips and McClures has figured out how to make some of the best I have ever tasted. People loved them and your Pickles. Your support of Get Real and NY Burger Week is beyond appreciated. To Green Mountain Energy and the Village Voice, your undying support of Get Real Presents helps us to keep building a community of educated eaters & drinkers. Ben Trivett, thanks for making us look so good!

Ashley Healey, you are my new best bud. Thank you for having the foresight, drive and tenacity to make not only our partnership work but being the real brawn behind the 2nd annual NY Burger Crawl. Amstel Light is not only the official Beer of the Burger but now can claim to be the official Beer of the NY Burger Crawl.

There’s a lot of bars in the city but only 10 of them who supported your Burger & Beer needs. When are you looking for a bar in Murray Hill or Kips Bay, be sure to check out: Desmond’s Tavern, Mad Hatter Saloon, Manhattan Brewhouse, Mason Jar, Murray Bar 34, Nelly Spillanes, Rodeo Bar, Slattery’s Midtown Pub, The Churchill, Van Diemen’s.

Both Gilt City & Timeout Offers helped bring a lot of people out to the Burger Crawl and for that, I say thank you. More tasty times ahead.

Before I say thank you to everyone at 67 Burger, please allow me to publicly thank and recognize McKenzie Mahoney from the mmmguide for not only helping to organize this event but for being one of the biggest supporters of NY Burger Week out there. You are one of my favorite people to work with. People who get to participate in things like the NY Burger Week live a charmed life. Not everyone is so fortunate and it’s you that helps to remind me that helping people less fortunate is important. Everyone should spend 2 hours volunteering with McKenzie at God’s Love We Deliver. Not only does it feel good but you’ll be seriously helping people to eat better.

Onto 67 Burger! Jeff, Ed, Daphne and the rest of you, holy mackerel! I asked if you would be willing to take over the off-menu Burger Bash and you not only did a great job but you made it your own. Start working on the menu for 2014 right now because we are coming back!! I love Craft Beer and moreover, I love the people that make it. Do yourself a favor; go visit the Empire Brewery in Syracuse. The Beer is exquisite the food is wonderful and the people are the best in the business.

Watching “Burger Land” on more than a dozen huge screen TVs while bowling, drinking Beer & eating Burgers with the host of the show has got to be the next best thing to being on it. Thank you to Brooklyn Bowl, Brooklyn Brewery & Blue Ribbon for making TV into real life!

I’m still over the moon from the 5 Burgers from 5 Animals paired with 5 Beers from 5 Breweries we had the Alewife’s Beer Burger Conquest dinner. Thank you to Patrick, Roz, Travis, Gregorio and everyone there for setting the bar at the highest level for future NY Burger Week events.

When I’m not out enjoying a meal at one of the 26,000 restaurants in NYC, I’m eating their Food at home thanks to delivery.com. To Johnny, Neeraj, Meghan and everyone else in the organization, especially Chris Steib, you put together one of the coolest promotions I’ve ever seen with some of the best Burger restos in NYC with your “Burger Week Delivered” initiative. Thanks to you, I get to say thank you to 5 Napkin Burger, Big Daddy’s, Bourbon Street Bar & Grille, David Burke at Bloomingdale’s, Duke’s, House of Brews, Lucky’s Famous Burgers, Mikey’s Burgers, Paul’s Da Burger Joint, Sidewalk Cafe, Black Shack, The Burger Bistro, The New York Beer Company, White Star & Whitman’s.

THE BURGER
Seriously, this event defined home run. From service to Beers to Food to presentation, the Alewife and their Chefs put on a top notch dining experience. Every dish was fantastic, all the Beers were great and the pairings were spot on. As each Burger hit the table, Chefs Travis & Gregorio stepped out from the kitchen to explain a little about the reason for making the Burger, it’s origin and the pairing. This was definitely a heightened experience of what regularly happens at the Alewife. Each dish was diverse, unique and most certainly very, very delicious. The crowd fave was The “Quack Attack,” a Duck Burger topped with Duck and more Duck. The flavor profile was amazing. No two Burgers were even remotely alike. These two Chefs could not have presented a more diverse representation of 1 Sandwich.

If you were one of the lucky few who attended this event, Thank you. I know you thought the Food was as amazing as I did. To the Chefs at the Alewife, wow! I think you are two of the best Chefs out there and you certainly proved it to everyone who ate these Burgers. To Patrick, Roz and the rest of the Alewife, thank you for letting me bring NY Burger Week to you and for hosting the most unique event of the entire series.

THE CONQUEST
George Motz is the creator of the Food Film Festival, the “Hamburger America” book, the “Hamburger America” Film, the Burger GPS app and now host of the Travel Channel’s “Burger Land.” George loves Hamburgers and I love eating them with him. His quest to preserve and promote the Burgers that made the USA a Burger destination is never ending and completely honorable. When it came time to planning the 2nd annual NY Burger Week I wanted to work with him and The Food Film Festival crew. It just made sense especially with NY Burger Week happening around the premier of “Burger Land.” They agreed and suggested we have a viewing party for an episode with George as the event host. My reaction: HELL YEAH.

THE BURGER
On the night of the event VIP guests arrived to Brooklyn Bowl for this private party along with a couple winners. Guests were handed tickets for complimentary Burgers from Blue Ribbon and a complimentary Lager from Brooklyn Brewery. After a bit of hobnobbing and eating, George took the stage and talked about the show. He then introduced it and we got to watch the Houston episode of “Burger Land” while eating Burgers and drinking Beers. The event was a mini version of a Food Film Festival event where you get to taste what you see on the screen! What a way to watch the show especially with all the giant screens all over Brooklyn Brewery showing it was blasting the audio through their massive sound system. The viewing was followed by a bowling party at the Lanes. All in all, a super cool and fun NY Burger Week event.

Congrats to you George on making Burger dreams come true by getting a super rad Burger Show onto TV. I can’t wait to see myself on the NYC episode (ego check) and thank you for inviting me to be a part of it. Thank you for being a part of NY Burger Week.

THE CONQUEST
The Off-Menu Burger Bash is NY Burger Week’s signature event and where it all started 3 years ago at Rub BBQ at the first off menu Burger Bash. The event was a huge success and the catalyst behind me creating NY Burger Week in 2012. The off-menu Burger Bash came back with a vengeance with Rub BBQ taking their 2nd shot at feeding the Burger-crazed mouthfuls of delicious and unique burgers. It was another tasty success. Unfortunately for the Burger obsessed like me, Rub BBQ closed it’s doors forever at the end of 2012. My favorite Burger of all times ceased to exist, but the off menu Burger Bash had to live on.

Chef Jeffrey Maslanka is no joke. He and is partner in business Ed Tretter are sincerely passionate about Burgers and the restaurant biz. Eat yourself a Burg at 67 Burger or their other fresh fast food concept, Black Shack, and you’ll taste their passion. I’ve eaten at both places many times and I’ve also had their creations cooked under pressure at the NY Food & Wine Burger Bash. Every time, the Burger is a real winner. With Rub BBQ now closed it was time to pass the torch of the off menu Burger Bash and I needed a Burger team that could execute. I knew Jeff and Ed would be the right team for the task.

The Off-Menu Burger Bash is NY Burger Week’s signature event and where it all started. We’re extremely excited to be bringing this delicious event to 67 Burger in Park Slope. Chef Jeff promises to whip out some doosey Burgers including his famous “Pastrami Burger.” Grab a bud & join us for what will be an awesome Burger party.

Wash it all down with a couple of delicious, Brooklyn made Beers from Empire Brewing Company. A representative from the brewery will be on hand to take you through a Beer tasting and answer any questions you have.

Empire White Aphro: A Belgianized version of our popular Aphrodisiac Ale. The honey, ginger, and lavender are still added as a spice addition. It is fermented with a traditional Belgian yeast strain, and wheat malt was added, giving it a Belgian white characteristic. 5.6% ABV
Empire Amber: A robust english-style beer, brewed with a proportion of caramel malt and aromatic hops from the pacific northwest. 5.5% ABV

Vote for your favorite Burger at the end of the meal and whichever Burger has the most votes will become the official 67 Burger for National Hamburger Month!!

THE BURGERS
The timing, execution and serving of the event was no small task and the team at 67 Burger nailed every aspect of the event. It took a crew of 4 people to hand prepare each Burger as well as 4 people on the floor to serve them. It was like watching a beautiful dance put on by a highly affective military unit.

Each Burger was served 1 for every 2 people and once it hit the table, it was up to us to effectively cut them in half to share. Thankfully I had the Burger slicing expertise of Mighty Mike Fox to rely upon.

THE Pastrami Burger
– Homemade Pastrami Spice crusted Burger with Sauerkraut & Deli Mustard on a Pretzel Bun
Chef Jeff says: “!!!”

Hippy Forager Burger
– Beef Patty topped with a melange of wild Mushrooms, Spring Onions, Truffled Tomato Sauce & Smoked Gouda Cheese Sauce
Chef Jeff says: “Finders Keepers!”

The Chili Relleno Burger
– Melty Jack Cheese, grilled Tomato Red Sauce, Poblano Chili dipped in a light Egg Batter and fried to a crisp!
Chef Jeff says: “Boom.”

The Down Under Aussie Burger
– Fire roasted and Pickled Beet Root, Pineapple Rings charred on an open fire, Malaysian spicy Pork Jerky, French Fries & an sunny side up Egg
Chef Jeff says: “It’s a hot mess!

Side of French Fries

THE WINNER
Every single Burger was absolutely delicious and the entire meal was a gastronomic adventure for the taste buds. Picking a favorite of the bunch proved to be difficult and truth be told, everyone who attended truly won in the end.

First Place: The Hippy Forager
Runner up: The Chili Relleno Burger

Thank you to the rest of my fellow off menu Burger Bashers. We got to enjoy some awesome, awesome Burgers brought to us by a team that was just as excited to serve us as we were to eat them. To Ed, Daphne, Jeff and the rest of the staff of 67 Burger, you not only took the off menu Burger Bash torch hand off expertly but you then ran it in for a gold medal. Outstanding service, amazing Food and tons of fun. Thank you so much. Making delicious Beer is an artform and representing it is no easy job either. Thank you to Mike, Olivia, Tim and the entire team at Empire Brewing. You set an example for the rest of the industry. McKenzie Mahoney from the mmmguide.com played a huge part in making this event happening and helping me to market it. You are rock star of the industry and I am always psyched as heck to work with you.

THE CONQUEST
Who eats 10 Burgers in one day? You do or at least you did last year during the first ever ticketed Burger Crawl for NY Burger Week 2012. We had a blast roaming around New York’s East Village sampling Burgers and washing them down with tasty suds and I knew I had to bring it back for the 2013 NY Burger Week. When the folks at Amstel Light, the official Beer of the Burger called and said they wanted to get involved in the Burger Week, it seemed like a perfect idea. Their Beer is made with only 4 ingredients; Water, Hops, Yeast & Malted Barley. It comes from a brewing tradition that dates back to 1870 in Amsterdam. Once Burger Maker came on board to supply the participating bars with their all natural, certified humane Angus beef along with delicious Cheese from Jarlsberg Cheese, we had ourselves a Burger Crawl to run.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the 2nd annual NY Burger Crawl. From the looks of it, everyone had a fun time visiting a bunch of bars in Murray Hill & Kips Bay while eating Burgers and washing them down with Amstel Light. With Amstel Light, Burger Maker & Jarlsberg, this event would have not been possible. We all owe them a very classy golf clap for their part in this. Specifically to Aja & Mike from Jarlsberg, thank you for running the check in booth at Manhattan Brewhouse. I’m obsessed with eating your Cheese while drinking Beer. To the 10 bar owners who signed on board to this crazy idea, I tip my hat and extend a firm handshake to thank you for allowing me to bring 200+ Burger fanatics into your places of business for a fun afternoon exploring your neighborhood. Burger Cheers to my crawl buds, Ashley, Mike & Jerry for the good times and good laughs.

THE CONQUEST
Get Real Presents is a Craft Beer-focused company made up of Craft Beer & food advocates that host Beer and food festivals in New York City.

That’s a very formal way of saying that Get Real Presents throws awesome parties, that is if you like gourmet Food, Craft Beer and other artisan consumables. If you’ve been to aPORKalypse, Cask Ale Fest, the Nacho & Craft Beer Fest, or Belgian Beer Fest events you’ve probably already bought your tickets for the 2nd annual “Beer Balls” Craft Beer & Meatball Festival on May 11, 2013 at the Alewife in NYC. But if you haven’t, what are you waiting for?

There’s no crap on tap at a Get Real Presents events but you can definitely expect tasty brews from breweries like Green Flash, Wandering Star, Lagunitas, Greenport Harbor, Firestone Walker, Sierra Nevada, Great Divide & Flying Dog and many, MANY more. Most of the beers aren’t chosen until days before each event in an attempt to perfectly pair every single dish with a specific Craft Beer.

I’m a proud member of the organization and love the type of events we get to bring to people. That’s why when it came to putting together the 2013 NY Burger Week, I had to have Get Real involved and created the “3Bs.”

THE CONQUEST
Thus far NY Burger Week has only existed inside the walls of New York City. Not for any reason other than that’s where I live and there’s a ton of great Burgers here. In the 2nd annual NY Burger Week the definition of what “NY” meant expanded. Not only was I able to expand into events in Queens and Brooklyn, it’s now also outside the city. The thanks goes to Andrew and the blog Boozy Burbs. It’s a website that brings the best of dining and nightlife in Bergen County, NJ (with occasional coverage of surrounding areas as well, including Rockland County in NY.). Andrew reached out to me and asked if he could host an event at restaurant that made some awesome Burgers under the NY Burger Week umbrella. He talked about the abilities of William Cho from the Hudson 303 Sport Cafe the same way I would about a Burger maker that I loved. He hooked me in that one conversation and just like that, NY Burger Week expanded outside of the city.

The calm before the storm (i.e. table settings)

History was made Thursday, May 2nd, 2013. The first ever NY Burger Week event was held outside of NYC’s five boroughs as a group of hungry burger lovers descended upon Hudson 303 Sport Cafe in Tappan, NY. For those uninformed, NY Burger Week is held each year during May (National Hamburger Month) and is a burger showcase of what NY (previously only NYC) has to offer. Check out the list of this year’s events for Burger Week.

Boozy Burbs was bestowed the privilege to organize and co-host the Burger & Putts Beer Dinner. Attendees ate, drank and played a round of mini golf at the Tappan Golf Center’s bar and restaurant, Hudson 303 Sport Cafe. The menu included three burgers that were crafted for the event, any two tap beers (drinker’s choice from the 24 they have on tap), an order of fresh cut fries and a cupcake courtesy of I Am Cupcakes in Little Ferry.

2013-05-02 20.01.05

2013-05-02 20.03.02

Baskets of fresh cut fries were placed at each table and replenished during the evening as necessary. Each person got two craft beers served from Hudson 303′s 24 taps, including 5 beers that were just tapped earlier that day (Including Bronx Brewery’s Bronx Pale Ale and Harpoon Summer Beer).

2013-05-02 21.55.33-1
Key Lime Pie Cupcakes

Though not originally announced for the event, I Am Cupcakes in Little Ferry surprised the crowd with their signature Key Lime Pie Cupcakes. These cupcakes feature a graham cracker crust, the cake is stuffed with Key Lime filling and topped with Key Lime icing.

The evening concluded with a full round on Tappan Golf Center’s 18 hole miniature golf course.

Thanks to Andrew, William and everyone who attended their event. I’m hoping we can work together again. I really appreciate you reaching out and doing such a great job.

THE CONQUEST
It’s been 602 days since Dan Petersen and That Burger took over the kitchen at Idle Hands Bar. In that time we’ve al eaten some tasty burgers paired with Iron Maiden, young adult novels, American Octoberfest Beers & even given them away for free for my birthday. We also helped Dan create, launch and sell his signature Bourbon Ketchup. It’s been a fun, tasty, burgerific ride … and now it’s over.

May 1, 201 was not only the first day of National Hamburger Month and NY Burger Week, it was also That Burger’s final day at 25 Avenue B. Because neither I nor Idle Hands Bar do anything unless it’s worth overdoing (my life motto), we sent Dan & That Burger off with a bang, a head-bang that is…

To celebrate the kick off of NY Burger Week & National Hamburger Month, Idle Hands Bar has put together a VERY SPECIAL edition of their weekly Tasting event. Tonight we celebrate the Guns And Roses epic debut album “Appetite For Destruction” with a special burger and beer pairing.

Stone Ballast Green Flash Breweries Guns N Roses

We welcome representatives from 3 of our favorite South California breweries to do a perfect craft beer & burger pairing dinner with all 12 songs on the album!

THE BURGERS, BEERS & PAIRINGS
The way the event works is we hit play on “Appetite For Destruction” and as each track begins, you are served the paired food or beer. All Beers, Burgers & Tots were “perfectly” paired by yours truly.

Burger: Welcome to The (That) Burger
Description: Sauteed Onions, Sauteed Jalapeños, American Cheese
Track: “Welcome to the Jungle”
Pairing: The signature burger from That Burger with the kickoff track of the album.

Beer: Green Flash East Village Pils
Style: Pilsner
ABV: 5.3%
Description: What Fizzy Yellow Beer should be: full of life and flavor unlike domestic mass produced, mundane, lifeless, boring, bland, fizzy yellow, insipid swill that takes up space at pubs and restaurants.
Track: “It’s So Easy”
Pairing: Making beer this tasty should be so easy.

Beer: Ballast Point Sculpin
Style: IPA
ABV: 7%
Description: Bright with aromas of apricot, peach, mango and lemon. Its lighter body also brings out the crispness of the hop.
Track: “Nightrain”
Pairing: The Sculpin fish has poisonous spikes on its fins that can give a strong sting. Ironically, the meat from a Sculpin is considered some of the most tasty, much like this IPA.

Burger: Out ta Eat Me
Description: Bacon, That Bourbon Ketchup, Blue Cheese
Track: “Out ta Get Me”
Pairing: If the bacon & blue cheese doesn’t getcha, the bourbon ketchup will.

Beer: Stone Smoked Porter
Style: Porter
ABV: 5.9%
Description: A rich, dark and delicious porter with chocolate and coffee overtones accented by a subtle smokiness from just the right amount of peat smoked malt
Track: “Mr. Brownstone”
Pairing: If you can’t figure out this pairing, please excuse yourself, grab a Budweiser and visit the nearest McDonalds.

Burger: Paradise Burger
Description: Lettuce, Guacamole, Red Island Sauce, Cheddar Cheese
Track: “Paradise City”
Pairing: Red Island sauce is heavenly but it will take you down.

Beer: Greenflash Hop Head Red
Style: Amber Ale
ABV: 7%
Description: Resinous hop characteristics emerge from an enormous hopping with Columbus, Nugget and Amarillo overtaking the rich caramel malt base.
Track: “My Michelle”
Pairing: Someday you’ll find someone that you can call your own but till then ya better drink some Hop Head Red.

Beer: Stone Enjoy By 5/17/13 IPA
Style: Double IPA
ABV: 9.4%
Description: Stone has sent a clear message with the name of the beer itself that there is no better time than right now to enjoy this IPA.
Track: “Think About You”
Pairing: You clearly have taken the time to think about enjoying craft beer, now drink it.

Burger: Sweet Burger o’ Mine
Description: Sauteed Pineapple with Teriyaki Sauce, Honey Ham, Cheddar Cheese
Track: “Sweet Child o’ Mine”
Pairing: 3 layers of sweetness with a savory cheddar will make you ours.

Beer: Ballast Point Wahoo Wheat with Thai Chili and Lime
Style: Witbier with spices & fruits
ABV: 4%
Description: Ballast Point Wahoo Wheat Beer is created using flaked unmalted wheat, oats and malted barley comprise the grain, a special yeast, mild hopping, adding a blend of curacao (bitter orange), sweet orange and coriander to the boil and in this case, thai chili and lime.
Track: “You’re Crazy”
Pairing: This is exactly what the other folks at Ballast Point said when the brewer said he wanted to make this beer.

Food: Bacon Spiced Tots
Track: “Anything Goes”
Pairing: As if tater tots were not already nature’s carbohydrate version of heroine, when it’s That Burger, anything goes, especially bacon spices!

Food: Bourbon Ketchup
Track: “Rocket Queen”
Pairing: Rocket Queen, you better turn me on tonight and if you don’t at least you’ll have That Burger’s signature bourbon ketchup.
