Oh, How the Years Go By...

I guess it's fair to say that the burger blog was fast asleep for about, um, three years....but here it is back and in full effect. A lot has changed since my last post, just about a full three years ago to the day:

• While Dar and I are the dearest of friends and forever officemates, we sadly a. no longer work together; and b. don't do the Thursday night burger binges anymore



• I work in the food industry now, which has allowed me access to amazing recipes, chefs and restaurants and has also heightened my interest in the food blogging world. Some of my favorite food blogs are: seriouseats http://seriouseats.com/, eater http://eater.com/, grubstreethttp://nymag.com/food/daily/, thestrongbuzz http://thestrongbuzz.com/. I also love New York Metromix http://newyork.metromix.com/



• I got married :) To a burger-loving, CPA.
  

But some things haven't changed: I still brake for burgers, and am always on the quest for a good one. So let's take a look at some recent Burger News, shall we?

• It's reported that Madison Square Park establishment, Shake Shack, is going to be a big sister, as plans were announced for a new uptown post on the Upper West Side (77th and Columbus) in late 2008.http://www.shakeshacknyc.com/
• Serious Eats reports the latest and greatest 'burger' creation from Paula Deen: http://aht.seriouseats.com/archives/2008/03/paula-deen-is-trying-to-kill-us-part-4-bacon-donut-egg-cheeseburger.html
• Pop Burger opened an uptown post at 14 E. 58th Street: https://www.popburger.com/midtown.html
