Who’s the Burger King of New York?

It’s no secret that Pizza is king in New York City, but Burgers?  That’s right Burgers are making a major jump in the culinary world in New York.  Top Chefs around the city are taking a crack at an old classic that originated in New Haven Connecticut by Louis Lassen owner of a small lunch wagon.  He is said to have sold the first steak sandwich and hamburger in 1900. 


The story goes as follow, some customers came in for lunch and ordered a steak sandwich,  Louis seeing that he ran out of steak grabbed some steak trimmings and grounded it and made it into a patty, transforming the world as we know it!  Well not really but hamburgers have become a major thing here in the states. 

That’s why it’s always nice to hear about new comers such as the Brindle Room who have been sporting one of New York City’s best burgers for a few years now.  Word has it that this local gastro pub in the East village is serving up some mighty tasty burger. 

So what’s their secret?  For one they do it old school style.  Similar to the first burger ever made the Brindle Room uses Rib Eye steak trimmings for their burgers.  The deckle found in Rib eye’s gives it that flavor that you associate with a prime burger. 

Brindle Room also keeps it classic with its style of cooking.  The burgers are cooked on a piping hot cast iron skillet ensuring that your burger comes to you table sporting some delicious looking sear marks.  This only adds to the complexity of flavor that the brindle room provides. 

To top it off the Brindle Room uses a nothing special bun just like when you were a kid.  It’s obvious that the focus is on the meat here people and not the bread.  For the perfect meal eat you burger the way Proprietor Jeremy Spector does, Medium with a slice of American cheese and some caramelized onions.  Oh and don’t forget to order the side of hand cut French fries.  Way to keep it classy guys. 

With its huge success the Brindle Room has now gone into the field of Catering.  To check out their services contact Brindle Room Catering today for the following services:
