THE CONQUEST
There were 2 key events that lead to the creation of NY Burger Week. The first was a National Hamburger Day party I hosted in 2010 at Rare Bar & Grill. On that day, readers of this blog were invited to join myself and George Motz for a “Louis Lunch” style Burger at Rare. At the time, it was the highest attended event Burger Conquest had ever done. The following February, I teamed up with Andrew Fischel and threw an off-menu Burger Bash at Rub BBQ. The event sold out in minutes and a 2nd seating was added. It was such a huge success that we wanted to make it an annual event.

That was the birth of the signature event of Burger Week, the Burger Brunch. Six more events were created and boom, NY had it’s very own Burger Week. Sadly, later that year Rub BBQ, home to the BEST Burger I’ve ever eaten, closed it’s doors. In 2013 Chef Jeff Maslanka took over the duty and we hosted the Burger Brunch at 67 Burger in Brooklyn. In 2014, the Burger Brunch came full circle for the 3rd Annual NY Burger Week.

Bourbon & Tequila Tasting
Sweet Potato Chips

The Burger Week began many years ago at a boozy Burger brunch and for 2014 the tradition continues! Rare Bar & Grill (303 Lexington Ave) will host Boozed Up Burgers With a Tequila & Whiskey Tasting Brunch on Sunday, May 4th for the 3rd Annual NY Burger Week. Proprietor and Burger aficionado, Douglas Boxer, has put together a Drunken Trio of Burgers, each of which is flambeed in a different liquor. You’ll taste all three as well as Rare Bar & Grill’s delicious Sweet Potato Chips topped with a Honey Drizzle.

Along with the Drunken Trio Burgers, you’ll enjoy an expertly lead tasting of small batch Tequila and Bourbon. Returning to the Burger Week, liquor expert Jessica Partington from Heaven Hill will lead a tasting of Lunazul’s Blanco and Anejo Tequilas along with Elijah Craig 12 year Bourbon.

THE BURGERS
There’s a lot of ways you could make a Burger Brunch “boozy.” When it came to this year’s party, I thought working with Rare Bar & Grill would be fun since they have a menu of Burgers that are flambeed in different liquors. How else to make it fun? Invite the guys from Gotham Burger Social Club to join. If you follow them on instagram you’ll be privy to a never ending stream of amazing Burger porn, refreshing looking Cocktails and a lot of dudes in suits. It’s definitely one of the classiest Burger clubs out there.

Jameson Black Barrel Burger – Fresh ground ribeye, flambéed in Jameson Black Barrel select reserve atop its aged whiskey slaw & smothered with white Irish cheddar.

T-Bone Burger – A blend of filet and strip, flambeed in tequila, wrapped in apple smoked bacon, topped with cheddar and crispy onions.

M&M Burger – Our classic flambéed in whiskey topped with caramelized shallots, cheddar cheese & smoked apple bacon.

Expert lead small batch tasting featuring Lunazul Tequila & Elijah Craig 12 year Bourbon

We had so much fun with the Bourbon Tasting event during the 2nd Annual NY Burger Week at Hardings with “Bourbon Jess” Partington from Heaven Hill, that I asked her to come back and be a part of Burger Week again. As this event was the day after the Kentucky Derby and the day before Cinco De Mayo, Jessica suggested we do a tasting of both a Bourbon and a Tequila. It was a good call because both of them were very delicious. Jessica is an expert on these spirits and gave everyone a little lesson about their history and how to “properly” taste them.

Thank you to everyone who came and enjoyed the Boozy Burger Brunch. Events like this are not easy to do and pretty stressful on a kitchen. You guys were super patient and really fun to serve. You made this a great event. Thank you very much to Doug, Katie, Sergio, Eddie, Jess and everyone else at Rare Bar & Grill. They were the very first restaurant to reach out and ask to be a part of the 3rd Annual NY Burger Week. Thank you to the Gotham Burger Social Club. You guys worked really hard to help promote this event … and finish off the Tequila. I really appreciate the help and had a blast hanging with you again. Last and certainly not least, a big big big THANK YOU goes to Bourbon Jess. You are officially now a part of Burger Week and I anxiously look forward to working with you again in 2015.

From gourmet blends to off-menu specialities, to beer pairings, NY Burger Week will pay tribute to the world’s greatest sandwich, the Hamburger. Each restaurateur and Chef will be preparing a unique event that pays tribute to the Burger in their own way.

THE CONQUEST
When I first tried Chef Ariel’s Burger at Hardings, I thought “this was put together by someone who passionately cares about Burgers for people who passionately care about Burgers.” That’s a real quote, I wrote it. The custom blend of 80/20 lean to fat ratio mix of Chuck and Skirt Beef which she uses arrives into the restaurant and then Ariel grinds the Beef, mixing in a 30% ratio of Short Rib. To a Food fanatic’s ears, that sounds pretty sexual and the taste of the Burger backs it up. When they asked me if they could be a part of NY Burger Week, I thought it was a perfect opportunity to share this tasty, tasty Burger with the Burgerverse.

From there you’ll take a walk into Harding’s kitchen where Chef Ariel Fox will explain how they make their burger with a custom blend of 80/20 lean to fat ratio mix of chuck and skirt beef that is then mixed with a 30% ratio of short rib.

Due to the intensity of this event, there is a very limited amount of tickets. Sleep on this one and you’ll be sorry.

THE BURGER
I’ve reviewed the Harding’s Burger before and worked with Harding’s to custom create this experience, so there’s no need to repeat myself or give a rating. But it was even a surprise to me, Chef Ariel recently switched the Meat supplier she uses to make changes to the Burger. The Burger is now made with Beef from Creekstone Farms from Kansas via Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors in NYC. Creekstone produces a premium quality Beef by slaughtering a very limited amount of cows. Their Cattle are never fed antibiotics, hormones, growth promoting drugs or artificial ingredients via a 100% Vegetarian diet. The farm uses only humane animal handling practices when raising said Cattle. This makes for an all natural and delicious tasting Beef product and with one bite of the Harding’s Burger, you’ll notice.

Thanks to everyone who attended and enjoyed a really fun night of food & drink education along with some delicious drinks and eats. None of this would be possible without Jessica from Heaven Hill & Whiskey Roundtable who played a big part in making it happen. Much love to everyone at Harding’s who put on an awesome display of professionalism and hospitality. You are an amazing team with a fantastic restaurant.

The most important lesson learned at this event; “Hogs don’t eat Cucumbers.”
