Yesterday I had to go check out another place that only serves a single house burger Hooked Market & Kitchen however they had a fish burger on the menu as well so what the heck I tried both. The Beef Burger took the win and its spot on the challenge board. Although, I don't think you can make a bad decision of which one to order. I felt like every table there had one or the other ordered. The Fries just may be the best in the Capital Region. Argue wit yo momma! Fresh Fish, Raw Bar, Solid Drinks, Fun and Friendly staff. Can't go wrong here. Go get Hooked up!

My last stop before the New York Beef Council NY Best Burger voting closes on Apr 10 at 5p. was Illusive Restaurant & Bar for their Twisted Popper! This Jalapeno meets a smash burger insane creation.

With respect to all other nominees, This burger is clearly at the least a Top 5 NY Best Burger, if not the Winner.

Last night I went to Bootleggers On Broadway for Burger 19. I've been waiting to get here to try this peanut butter burger and I was pleasantly surprised how this peanut butter and jelly style burger works. I had to have others try it just so everyone can believe me on this one. It's delicious and worth that adventurous try. Live music on Fridays and great service from a bunch of great friendly staff makes it a very cool spot to go hang out at on a Friday night!

Last night Burger no.18 brought me to Tipsy Moose Tavern for their Moose Knuckle burger. This burger is layers of deliciousness. I couldn't even try the burger special because I ate the entire moose knuckle and was too full. The list of burgers there are all fire. My son ordered a buffalo chicken pizza that was amazing. The food and atmosphere in there is second to none. Most definitely a great weekend chill spot for drinks and great food.

Moose Knuckle:
8oz. Angus Beef, Sautéed Mushrooms and Onions, Swiss American, Cheddar Cheese, Smoked Bacon, Fried Egg

I've had a few recommendations to go over to Junior's Bar & Grill to try a burger called The Legend. First, The server is had was amazing and I watched her and the staff run around handing takeout orders and holding down the dining room patrons. Shout out to the juniors sportsbar and grill staff! Burger 17 The Legend burger is a very good burger that in my personal experience could have been much better. I wish the Candied Black Pepper Bacon was used instead of regular bacon that was slightly under cooked for my liking. With that being said the short rib and chuck patty was delicious tender and juicy. The star most definitely was the black garlic ketchup. This sauce is one of the best I've had around and totally elevates this burger. The Legend is a must try burger but just be sure you get that Candied Bacon on it and I know it's a hit!

The Legend:
Extra thick, bowl chopped short rib and chuck patty, candied black pepper bacon, Cooper's Cheese black pepper american, mayo, black garlic ketchup, lettuce and pickle chips, on an ultra-light and crispy pan de cristal bun

When I heard there was a new Halal Fried Chicken restaurant that was a Dubai based with Indian flavoring profile. I had to get down to ChicKing NY to try their chicken. The unique flavors of the sauces to go with the chicken as well as the spices used on the food itself was delicious! Their chicken is fried perfectly crispy just the way everyone likes for that amazing crispy crunchy bite. The staff was very welcoming to everyone and food is fresh and basically cooked to order. If your looking for fried chicken with a different flavor twist then ChicKing has you covered. Get them on your list of new locations to try. You won't be disappointed.

So yesterday for lunch I met The Daily Brew for Burger 16 at Fidens Brewing Company for a very cool collab review of their burgers. The Fidens Smash that Joe had was amazing. So amazing Joe gave it a personal score of 9.4 and loved the infamous Fidens Sauce and Butter Braised Onions. I had the Bacon Smash 3 by 3. What a monster of a burger it was. The garlic aioli and crispy bacon was definitely the star of this burger. The brewery is a very nice wide open spaced location with plenty of great beer, drinks, food, and amazing staff to ensure you enjoy your Fidens experience. One of the best looking breweries I've been in. This is a great place to go with the family or friends to hang and have a great time. Do yourself a favor and reserve some time to go check out Fidens Brewing Co. You won't regret it.

Fidens Smash:
2 Fresh Ground Beef Patties, American Cheese, Butter Braised Onions & Fidens Sauce, Martin's Potato Bun
