BRGR Is Not A Txt Acronym

BRGR is a burger joint that has been popping up all around NYC. I just happen to work near BRGR and one day for lunch I headed out to fill my hunger. BRGR has the open viewable grill. That means when you go into BRGR you leave smelling like BRGR. All grass fed meat with a choice of bun, I went whole wheat, but they even have the Iceberg lettuce bun for you carb watchers or gluten free eaters…

The New Cool Ranch is a Bust

Taco Bell – Doritos from Anthony Anello on Vimeo.

Doritos Taco Bell has been a getting great reviews for a while now but I have never tried it. Taco Bell is not my choice typically for a quick snack or meal. They just came out with the Cool Ranch Taco so I figured I have to try this. Is it really that good? Check the the short video and you’ll see.

Above Standard

A very good choice for a burger would be at Clarke Standard. One of the things that makes them a little different is the grilled buttered bun. I’m a huge fan of that and it is starting to catch on at other burger shops. The other great thing about Clarke Standard is around the block from my job. I have a feeling this will be on my list whenever I head out for lunch. This burger is in the same burger class as a Shake Shack burger. Clarke Standard use only 100% USDA verified, hormone and antibiotic free Natural Angus ground every day using a wide-gauge plate for a loose-textured patty and a juicier, more flavorful burger. Check out the juices for yourself.

Blue 22, Blue 22, Hut, Hut….Let’s Eat

The Big Game of the year was great. The first two quarters were dominated by the Ravens and we thought it was going to be a blow out. Beyonce performed the half time show and used so much power that in the beginning of the 3rd quester there was a Blackout. Thirty five minutes later the lights were back on and it was time for the 49ers to dominate. They came back to get with in one scoring drive. In the end the 49ers ran out of time and and the Ravens won. Final score…

Superfood Bowl

This year the superbowl is at my cousins place and we are calling it the superfood bowel because there is going to be a ridiculous amount of eats. The above is the raw uncased sausage that is going to be in my Stromboli. Got up early to start the cooking. Smells great in the house. Hope is all works out. I already had a failed attempt at making fresh baked potato chips. I think it is just easier to buy a bag of some sort of kettle chip. The slaw came out great and I’m also going to attempt a marsala roll. To be continued after the superbowl….
