Two Burgers for Two Holidays

Published on February 27, 2013 By 50burgersorbust

Angel: Feb 10th was the Chinese New year and Feb 12 was Mardi Gras. Which do we celebrate? BOTH! Well, sort of. Our first stop wasn’t quite Chinese food (we are burger lovers, after all), it was an American pub grub with an Asian flare, Social Eatz. It’s a small midtown spot with a small [...]

Revisiting the Best of Years Past

Published on February 6, 2013 By 50burgersorbust

Angel: While thinking of our new adventures, we stopped at our beer heaven, DeCiccos in Brewster, NY (as we wrote about here). There, we found my new love, Mikkelle’s Chipotle Porter. After announcing it to my beer loving friends, one friend from the Southwest decided to up the ante and mailed me a 6-pack of [...]

Always on the go

Published on January 31, 2013 By 50burgersorbust

Angel: I recently enjoyed Chinese food and my fortune cookie said, “You are a bundle of energy, always on the go.” I’m not sure about the energy part, but, yes, I’m always on the go. This past week i have been in sunny California, at the Terranea Resort. I love to travel and I love [...]

Back to School

Published on January 14, 2013 By 50burgersorbust

Angel: We decided to visit my cousin at Hofstra University and take him on a burger adventure, to Burger Bites. Their clam is that they recreate your backyard burger, which, being the middle of winter, I appreciated… now, if it were the middle of summer, I might wonder.  With 3.5 stars from Yelp, my hopes [...]

Best of 2012

Published on January 7, 2013 By 50burgersorbust

As one more year comes to a close, we took another hard look and put together the best burger and a few memorable places and experiences we’ve enjoyed in 2012.

The 5th Taste

Published on December 17, 2012 By 50burgersorbust

Angel: I learned in school that sweet, salty, bitter, and sour are the regions of your tongue. I have come to find out that, a fifth region has been discovered, and it could explain why I like Umami (named after the savory taste) in Croton, NY (www.umamicafe.com) so much.

This Little Piggy

Sean: The Spotted Pig has been on our list since day one, but, for one reason or another, has always eluded us.

Superman’s Burger

Published on September 4, 2012 By 50burgersorbust

Sean: Over the past year, any time we found ourselves in need of a burger, but without a place in mind, we’ve looked to the August 2011 edition of Hudson Valley Magazine for guidance and inspiration. It has led us to some incredible spots and, unfortunately, some establishments that were memorable for the wrong reasons. [...]

Published on August 27, 2012 By 50burgersorbust

We apologize that, due to technical issues, there was no post last week.   Sean: We first visited Emma’s a few months ago. We needed a quick ‘after work’ stop and ‘Yelpers’ seemed to enjoy it.
