Zin burger

Lunch with an old friend doesn't get any better than this!! 

Zin Burger is a new burger place that hit Long island. Never heard of it till I saw someone check into it on Four Square. So I had to try it

Here the waitress insisted that we try the truffle fries. We weren't sure if that was too much food or not with the other things we ordered. We ordered it any way and it was pretty food. I really liked the truffle aioli that accompanied the tries. I was in heaven!

Double Truffle Fries – $6 

Truffle Aioli, Parmesan Cheese & Truffle Oil

What I really liked about this place was that they can do half burger/ salad if both parties at the table want to share their meal. Below we have half of a Kobe beef burger with out mushrooms, and a salad with chicken. Below is exactly what we had. 

The Napa – $6/$9 

Organic Greens, Dried Fruit, Marcona Almonds, 

Goat Cheese & Goat Cheese Vinaigrette

 Kobe Burger* – $15 

American Style Kobe Beef, Cheddar Cheese, 

Wild Mushrooms & Mayo

I inhaled my plate faster than my friend could. I was a bit hungry still but gluttony at a burger place is not flattering at all. 

I took a picture of this just to remind me that  need to go here on a Wednesday. 

We also had wine,  the d’Arenberg “Stump Jump” – G.S.M. Blend - which was extremely nice and smooth. I would definitely get a bottle of that on a Wednesday!!!

I really enjoyed my experience here, I would totally recommend this place to a burger, beer, wine, salad lover of all kind. This is a cool chill place to go after shopping, or just because!!

I hope you find one near you or make the trip out here for a good ole burger! Till next time!!

S'mac (MAC AND CHEESE)

OMG OMG!!! So when I was told that there was a place that made custom mac and cheese I had to see that all the fuss was about!!!

My BF saw the Nepoletana and had to try it. It had fresh Mozzarella, roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, and fresh basil. Yum! I had a few bites and fell in love!!! Kind of wish I had ordered it!

My S'mac was the Hearty Meat Eater! Cheddar and American cheeses combined with seasoned Ground Beef. I was really good, but after a while I got tired of it. I'm not a big beef eater so It was a bit overwhelming, however it was right on with the flavor.

I would recommend getting the sampler dish so you can try all of the S'mac dishes and choose which one best pleases your pallet. Other then that I highly recommend this place for those who love cheese and pastas and additions!!!

Wet Willie's

(Miami Time) Where it all began.... After a three hour flight who wouldn't want to visit the mecca of all tourist attraction in South Beach Miami. WET WILLIE'S. Home of the Call me a cab and Attitude adjustment. Below we have them both swirled into that awesome cup where you see how cold it stays!!. 

Just look at the frost on that cup golly was it good. And not to mention strong but not overwhelmingly sweet nor alcoholic. Great drink to break into the weekend. 

Along with the drink we were starving so we decided to see what this place had to offer in terms of food. Here was my friends chicken sandwich the Drunken chicken sandwich. It was good and the fries were awesome. Didn't really understand the drunken part but hey he enjoyed it. 

I had this awesome Quesadilla, it was not your average quesadilla. This one had black beans (not sure how I remembered what I had) But it was awesome and I wish I had more. 

Here was another sandwich another person had and I almost stole it from her. It was "citrusy" and flavorful and oh so yummy. It hit all the spots sour, bitter, sweet, and salty all at the same time. Even though the decorum did not fit the bill the food packed a punch!. 

I'd highly suggest a place that was recommended onto me to everyone who loves to both eat and drink for less with more. 

If your in town I demand you to visit there first or you wont enjoy the reason why your their in the first place!!!

Best Burger

I went to a friends BBQ on a Saturday and boy was I in for a great time. Below we have a half eaten burger that was lucky to survive me taking a picture. Shortly after it was gone in under a minuet. What made this sandwich so great was the idead behind the ingredients. I will share:

It was fresh ground beef

grated shallots

grated garlic

grated pepper jack cheese

grated jalapeno 

dash of salt

dash of pepper

meat meets grill and eureka we have gold!!!

I added both American cheese and pepper jack cheese on top for the extra kick. 

What a SANDWICH 

                                       

I washed it down with this awesome beer. 

Happy eating everyone!!

Happy Hour at Ruth's Chris :)

Hey Lovely people, I come to you with another happy hour adventure. Below is a picture of the menu. I was excited to go here because the happy hour is to die for. I was also excited to be with one of my good friends. She was really happy to leave work to come here for lunch!!!

Her Drink with her fashionably extended pinky was the pomegranate martini. The bartender swore it would be sweet but it was pretty tart if you ask me. It was good but nothing compared to MY drink!!!!.

Which was a Moscow Mule!!!. It had candy ginger, ginger alcohol and a splash of seltzer. It was really strong ^.^ my kind of drink!.

We've been here before and wanted to stick to our original burgers and fries, but when I saw the word lobster I went head over heals especially because I saw it was only $8!. We got the Spicy Lobster and let me tell you, it was so succulent that I bit the fork twice. Luckily the portions were divided or my friend wouldn't have gotten any LOL.

 

The Star of the place has to be the mini burgers. I love how fresh and tasty they are. I kid you not you don't need ketchup or cheese. They are seasoned perfectly. The bun is the right texture. I want some now speaking about it :( And the fries. They are the king of fries. Well seasoned, crunchy and soft in the middle. Not greasy but you know they were fried. It's just excellent!. 

 

I hope you guys try Ruth Chris for happy hour. It is a must try. Trust  me you wont regret going!!!!

Dinner @ Two 8 Two Burger

Out on the town with my date and we stumble upon this bar/restaurant. We were hungry and wanted to try something local. It was nearing 11:30pm and we didn't know if they'd still be serving food. But low and behold they were until 12am. We walked in and the people we awesome and very welcoming.

We both had drinks that I forgot to take pictures of but hey they were good. 

Below was my sandwich that consisted of turkey cheese and the house sauce. And when I say the sauce was so good I almost bit my finger forgetting I was nearing my last bite. It was well seasoned and melt in your mouth goodness. I wanted another burger but thought quickly that it was gluttony and I couldn't do that around the Lent season!

 Below my date had a regular cheese burger with the sauce as well and he too said it was succulent and divine. It went well with his beer as well.

I wish I took a picture of my drink because it was the waiters suggested drink and he suggested right. I was really happy we found this place.

We also had a side of sweet potato fries and that picture could not have been taken due to the fact it was gone as soon as it hit the table.


I would recommend going here for lunch, dinner, date, get together, or even to watch the game. It was a really good dinning experience and hope others feel the same as well!

McCormick and Schmicks Happy Hour!!!

I think We all know by now that I am a Happy Hour Fanatic!I think that is the best part of the day! This is one of my favorite places to go when I'm in the Rockefeller center area. The Happy Hour is priceless and unheard of. They change menu items quite often but who cares It is always good! 

Below we have what my friend got which is Tuna BBQ. It was really good i had a bite and you wont believe that it was under $5 to get that!

 Here we have a personal Chicken Pizza. It was for only that day because I have yet to see it on the menu again but It was Really Good!!!!

 The Reason I come here is the Fish Taco!!! Holy Cow is it good And ONLY $2!!!!!. I always order 3 because one is a tease. The little salsa that comes with it you can do with out or add it for extra pizazz but it's up to you.

Below We have something you will not believe!.... This Burger and fries combo is only...wait for it...$2.95. I mean did they forgot the 1 before the 2 or am I in heaven and I've died happy lol. All jokes aside, This burger is that cheap and the taste is even better. You would not expect that coming from a seafood oriented restaurant.

The drinks that come with the happy hour are awesome also and make sure when you go to give a nice tip because they really deserve it over there.

I would not stir you wrong when I say this is a Must Try and Must See for your self place!!....


Till then Happy Eating!!

Sandwich Planet is the BOMB.COM!! Lunch

Located on 9th ave where the food is So good. I found a deal where you get a burger, fries and beer for $10!!. I used to go to TGIF for that kind of deal but they became less and less appealing and slowly started taking that deal away. A co-worker and I cam across this and though hey we have $10 to spare, lets try it. OMG we were HAPPY!!!!!

Below is my Beer of choice. I like that it's smooth and froffy at the same time. Light and airy kind of. If you've never tried this beer you should. they had other ones but I love trying new things when I get the chance.

Here we have the kind of all king burgers. I never had a burger melt in my mouth like this one. I was totally Flabbergasted by the way it tasted. I ordered it medium well with provolone cheese. I had sweet potato fries and the things to put on the burger on the side all went into my burger. I did not need ketchup!!. But I put it on after the first few bites. It neither enhanced it or ruined it, but it was there. I was so full after eating it but gluttony was knocking and asking for one to take home...

 Below was what my co-worker had similar but he had his well done and American cheese. The good ole classic! He was also satisfied with his meal.

They also make other sandwiches that look mouth watering when they came out that day. The menu will please anyone's palate. Stop by and have a look-see.!!
