Burger Babe of the Week: Sarah

Burger Babe of the Week- Sarah The Burger Boy, Best Burgers in NYCLadies and Gentlemen please put your mustard and ketchup together for our latest and greatest Burger Babe of the Week, Sarah.  Sarah is seen here divulging into a big juicy burger at Shorty’s .  What up Shorty?  Lookin’ gooooood and certainly not bored Miss Commodore! For those of you that don’t know, Shorty’s replaced the old Tony Luke’s which is a classic Cheesesteak joint that migrated from Philadelphia to NYC (Booooo!!!).  Tony Luke’s was notorious not only for the cheesesteaks but their Broccoli Rabe sandwich….whatever right?  Its nice to see that they have grown up and matured a bit and now serve up bodacious burgers.  Don’t be fooled by her beauty and innocent looks at first glance as she  is a true burger “bull dog” and boys do not get in her way.    Thanks Sarah and Merry Christmas!!- BB

Review: Shorty’s 32 (SoHo) 5 out of 10 Burgers

Shorty's 32 REVIEW Best Burgers in NYC. The Burger BoyWhat up shorty? Shorty’s 32 is located right in the bread basket of SoHo around the corner from some of my best pals.  We decided to give it a shot after a healthy recommendation  from a co-worker of mine.  So in when we went not knowing to much about it nor what to expect.  Let me cut to the chase and fast forward to when we left and give you the re-cap.  The place is VERY chill and service is slow (I don’t usually get hung up on service so this didn’t really matter to me).  The 8.0z Chargrilled Burger was the selection topped with Gruyere cheese and sauteed mushrooms.  The meat was tender, juicy but lacked enough seasoning/flavor.  However, a page was cut out of the textbook on how to cook beef to a medium-rare temp…kudos to the chef.  The deal breaker for me (as this item often can be) was the bun.  It literally was STALE….Stale with a CAPITAL “S”.  Being the end of the year maybe they needed to get rid of the bun inventory…Come on people get some fresh buns.  Sorry but this manwhich didn’t cut it for me….NEXT!- BB

I Spy…..Burger Boy @ SoHo Room

TheBurgerBoy- Best Burgers in New York CityWhere is Burger Boy????  I see him…do you?

Well lets hope so otherwise you may still have a buzz on from last night.

We spent some time last night enjoying some adult beverages to celebrate Burger Ninja’s Birthday at the SoHo Room last night.  We had fantastic service from the young lady bartender there who was kind enough to incorporate a Burger Boy Koozie into their showcase.  Pop in and look for it next time you are in that hood.  Its a great spot to just chill out, play some tunes on the Juke box and chit chat with your buds (They make the drinks stiffer than Ron Jeremy and don’t hold back holding 5 fingers of the house’s finest Scotch).- BB

Corporate Lunch- BB Style

Corporate Lunch- The Burger BoyTis’ the season to wear Christmas ties to the office. I took it up a notch this year and decided to sport some nifty suspenders.  What better way to celebrate than lunch at Dorian’s and TWO burgers? Yep, thats right.  I need to put on some seasonal lbs. in order to make it through another Manhattan winter. Jealous? I would be.  Go pick up some ties and supsenders for youself or the kids. I found  a great deal at Sears for $9.99 (I got the guy to lower the price from $20).  I am a salesman by trade and burger lover at heart.  Merry Christmas everyone and don’t forget to dress to impress this holiday season.  – BB

Carl’s Jr. Strikes Again

Kim Kardashian- Carl's Jr.SLASHFOOD.com- Carl’s Jr. likes its commercials as spicy as its barbecue burgers — with plenty of sexual suggestion on the side. Paris Hilton, Audrina Patridge (in a bikini on the beach) and Padma Lakshmi have all flaunted themselves in sexy ads for the company’s Western Bacon, Spicy Barbecue and Teriyaki Burgers. Who can forget the 2005 ad starring Paris Hilton in leather and high heels, hosing down a Bentley while at the same time devouring a spicy barbecue burger?

I mean this is some pretty good stuff right here.  I am not a HUGE fan of Kim but this makes it difficult not to be.  My one problem is that they went the salad route with her? Why?  She has some of the biggest buns in the business and they don’t have her puckering up to a burger? I’m sure Carl’s has a prestigous marketing staff but you do the math.  I could see them using Paris for the salad since she weighs about as much as an Ipod Touch but Kim? Come one.  Here is my rankins of Carl’s Celebs. 4. Padma Lakshmi 3. Paris Hilton 2. Kim Kardashian 1. Audrina Patridge- BB

Mailbag: BLT Burger West Village, Manhattan NY

BLT Burger- The Burger Boy

Dear Burger Boy,

BLT burger… is the t#ts! Top notch burger joint – located on 6th ave btwn 11th & 12th. Jerry crushed a Great Hills Blue Burger (7oz. Grilled CAB Burger, Great Hills Blue Cheese, Balsamic Caramelized Onion, Mushrooms)- also I decided throw some bacon on top of that, which was a good decision. Side of sweet potato fries was a no brainer.  Washed down with some Magic Hat No 9 (on tap).
BLT Burger- The Burger Boy 2
Only negative was they didn’t have A1 Sauce (or any steak sauce for that matter)- which I think is a must for a Bacon Blue Cheese burger.

Guest Review: Broome Street Bar (SoHo)

Broome Street Bar- The Burger BoyOh what up BB. Post ugly sweater xmas party no. 2 – still nogged up so we decided to hit brunch. Thinking the snow would keep people in we ran into an hour long wait we couldnt handle so we trudged on a few blocks and decided a bar would do the trick. A bar – where the beers are to bloodies as the burgers are to bennies. Broome Street Bar. Glanced at the menu and without hesitation rocked the bacon cheeseburger. Figured it would be decent but went into it without high hopes. A burger is pretty standard, but I wasn’t prepared in slightest for what was coming my. Just a casual cheeseburger shawarma with bacon. That’s right a cheeseburger shawarma. The bacon grease permeated the paddy while the dogfish washed it all down.Broome Street Bar Burger- The Burger Boy

Tried to capture a few decent shots for tbb… Look at that ninja grasp in the background for a handfull of ruffled Lays.
Although not thaaaat sick, probably a 6.1, you have to respect that theyre serving the baconcheeseburger in a pita. Cant go wrong with the kebab-style of Broome St and the buzz of a Sunday.

All the Best,

Shwarma Head & Burger Ninja
