Burger, please

January was a very exciting outing for the Burger Crew.  We were strong in numbers and ready to sample some of the delicious offerings at Brinkley's Pub and Kitchen.

With the gang at the table, we started off with some bloody's and perused the menu.

Let's just say, once we figured out what we wanted, the plates did not stop coming, first we sampled their Messy Breakfast Sandwich, Chinese Duck Bowl and Italian sausage. 

Then came the lobster club sandwich.

And alas came the Brinkley burgers, we order 3 to split amongst the group, each medium-rare with a different kind of cheese-blue, cheddar, and swiss.  I have to admit it, this is one solid burger.  It was cooked and seasoned to perfection, and tasted amazing.  Highly recommended!

September burger day has arrived!  I don't know about the rest of the group but I am ready to eat some meat and drink some beer tomorrow.  The plan is to hit Fette Sau but the weather for the weekend looks awful! 

Good thing we have plenty of back ups in case we need to divert from our original plan.  There is DuMont Burger, Burger Guru, and even Five Leaves up in Greenpoint. 

It's official, September Burger Day will be held at Fette Sau BBQ in Brooklyn.  I know what you might be thinking, "But Fette Sau doesn't serve burgers."  We recognize this however, summer is coming to a close and as a group we wanted to finish the summer strong by saluting the all American past time known as BBQ'ing. Oh yea, and any place that sells their meat by the pound and beer by the gallon is all right by me.

Once Eater.com published their list of the "12 most over-the-top new burgers in New York," Francine quickly sprung into action by sending the link to the gang.  After we ooh'ed and ahh'ed over the list and photos, a connection was made-12 burgers + 12 months = Monthly Burgers Days! Thus, Burger, please was born

Let's be honest, everyone loves a good burger.  Not only that, I can guarantee that when you hear the word "burger" your mind conjures up images of the "perfect burger."  It could be the burger your father served hot off the grill on a muggy summer's evening or at a 5 star restaurant in New York City.  Or perhaps, it is a burger you had seen but never had the opportunity to try, the burger that got away.

If you are anything like the Burger, please team, you have been forced to move past that momentous burger and are now on a quest for the next "perfect burger," the burger undiscovered.  A lot of people say you can get a burger anywhere, and you can for that matter.  However, the sad truth is that every restaurant you walk into claims to serve the "best burger in town," and if you live in NYC like we do, you understand how difficult it can be to sort the good from the bad.
