Wing-Off 14 - The Finals - Wogie's vs. Lansdowne Road vs. Bar-Coastal

WING-OFF 14
THE FINAL WING-OFF!
WOGIE'S vs. LANSDOWNE ROAD vs. BAR-COASTAL

From the same people that bring you Burger Conquest, we bring you the New York City Wing-Off. A crew of men on a search for the best wing in NYC. Wing-Off judges solely on quality of the Medium and Hot wings only. Service, ambiance, beverage selection, price and other menus have no factor but they sure do count for a good time! Also, NO WOMEN ALLOWED!!

In January of 2007, 2 men had an argument over where to get the best hot wings in New York City. The debate grew intense and while an audience watched, they agreed to battle it out, wing vs. wing, to see who was right. Some rules were established, some friends were invited and some wings were eaten. In the end, everyone had so much fun that we decided to do it again, and again and again. Thus, the NYC Wing-Off was born.

It's been years in the making with only one goal in mind, find the best medium and hot wings in NYC. Along the way we have had some fantastic wings, we've seen amazing wings be defeated by slightly more amazing wings and we were even invited into a kitchen to design our own wing recipe; "Don't Stop Believin" sauce, we've donated to cancer research and now we can say, we have found the best hot wings in New York City.

The bracket challenge to crown a champion for the best medium and hot wings in the city was finally coming to a close. In the last 2 NYC Wing-Offs, we saw Croxley Ale House be defeated by Bar-Coastal and old favorite Lansdowne Road tie with Wogie's. This meant a 3 way battle for the title. To commemorate the victory, the winner of the NYC Wing-Off was going to be awarded with the Burger Conquest Hot Golden Cock Trophy.

WOGIE'S


Wogie's beat out Town Tavern in WING-OFF 7 to advance into the final round where they placed on par with Lansdowne Road in WING-OFF 13. Today, there would be no room for ties as a winner had to be named. Aaron Hoffman, the owner and wing magician behind Wogie's joined us for this momentous occasion. It was a beautiful Sunny afternoon and we decided to take up the entire Wogie's outdoor patio.

After a couple of warm up drinks, the wings came out. Wogie's is famous for their salt & pepper wing and it is crispy and awesome. Ask for a side of the hot and dip those suckers in for extra yum factor. You all know by now that we only judge based on medium and hot wings but that doesn't mean we can't order other flavors! But onto the competition

Wogie's wings are very buttery which most certainly defines the flavor. They are crunchy, hot, savory, really good quality wings. The difference between mediums and hots was very little and was possibly going to hurt them in the tournament. None the less, Wogie's definitely put their best foot forward and it was obvious that this was not going to be an easy match to call.



LANSDOWNE ROAD


Scruffy Duffy's had the Wings that started the war. When they closed down, newcomer sports bar, Lansdowne Road picked up the tradition adding "Scruffy's Wings" to their menu. They were the reigning champ of Wing-Off and were even retired from the competition. It seemed as though they could not be bested.

We grabbed a table in the back, asked for some beers and placed the wing order. The friendly staff at Lansdowne Road were happy to accommodate and the wings came up form the kitchen faster than any of us expected. Scruff Duffy's wings were definitely spicier than those at Wogies. However, the wings were a little on the dry side. It was a meatier wing indeed and the heat from the hot definitely lingers on the tongue, a sign of a great wing. Unfortunately there was a bad distribution of sauce, leaving some saucier than others. No doubt this would handicap these otherwise delicious hot wings.



BAR-COASTAL


Bar-Coastal, a late comer in the Wing-Off bracket challenge has dominated in every battle they have taken on. When Bar-Coastal went head to head with. Brother Jimmy's BBQ and The Back Page Sports Bar in WING-OFF 10, no one saw it coming. 2 NYC Wing-Off's later, Bar-Coastal bested the East Village's Croxley Ale House. Their Atomic Wing origin proved the name still meant quality to the NYC wing market.

Bar-Coastal's wings were cooked appropriately; not too crunchy, not too chewy and with a lot of savory meat. They are also well bathed in wing sauce. Both the hot and mediums have a nice tang to the bite. There is a reason Bar-Coastal made it to the finals and it's attention to detail in making quality wings.

We also munched down on the very popular "Kerry's Way" wing, a mix of honey mustard, BBQ and traditional buffalo sauces that is just tantalizing. Another crowd favorite, the amazing and spicy Jerk sauce wings. Even though we were full to the brim, Jason, the owner of Bar-Coastal, insisted we try the newest addition to their wing family, "porkers." Had I not eaten them myself, I would've never believed a pork wing was a real thing. Prepared in the Kerry's Way sauce is makes this already unique food time amazing. But again....we only judge on hot and medium!

WING-OFF 14 OFFICIAL WINNER
- HOME OF THE BEST HOT WINGS IN NYC
- BAR-COASTAL!

Burger Conquest is proud to announce Bar-Coastal as the best medium and hot wings in NYC. The vote although very hard to make was unanimous. Owner Jason Catlin was awarded the Burger Conquest Hot Golden Cock trophy to signify their victory. Jason is what makes this place so good. Every single wing that comes out of his kitchen is made with precision, care and love. Serving an amazing wing is something intrinsically important to Jason. It's the reason Bar-Coastal is always so busy.

On behalf of everyone that has participate in the NYC Wing-Off, we are proud to say Bar-Coastal has the best medium and hot wings in NYC.


So now what? This battle has taken place for many years and there is no way we are going to stop having the NYC Wing-Off, we are just going to reinvent it. So stay tuned until next time when we up the Wing-Off ante.

A massive, massive thank you to all the restaurants and bars that have stuffed us full of wings for years now. There wasn't a bad wing in the bunch and we've enjoyed every single bite. On behalf of all my fellow Wing-Offers, we tip our hats off to all of you.

White Mana - What To Do When You Have To Go To New Jersey

THE BURGER
Much like most of the people who moved into NYC, I too got rid of my car years ago. It's a pain in the butt, time consuming money pit and unless you are loaded with moola, it's just too much to deal with to have a car here. That does mean however, that if I need to go somewhere that isn't near a train station, I have to rent a car. With a wife, family upstate and a burning desire to get the hell out of the rat race every once in awhile, I end up with a lot of rental cars. For this, I prefer to use Hertz. They're reliable, good cars and most importantly, the closest car rental company to my apartment. I also like their Connect By Hertz service which allows you to rent a vehicle by the hour for one price that includes gas and tolls.

I woke up on this day in particular to discover I had to make a mandatory trip into New Jersey. Having lived in NJ for nearly a decade before migrating into Manhattan, I am grossly familiar with the pros and cons of the state. Amazing how once you leave it, the balance tips even more towards the cons. One thing that makes a trip into NJ much more tolerable is the food. Being so close to a mecca like NYC, there are some decent eats out there in the Garden State. One of my favorites and only 10 minutes from the Lincoln Tunnel is the White Mana in Jersey City, NJ.

Nothing like a old standard. This is the burger that became a legend. Originally opened in 1939 at the NY World's Fair, it was named after the Biblical food "manna" (sometimes spelled "mana.") According to Wikipedia; "the name of a food that God provided for the Israelites during their travels in the desert as recorded in the Bible. It was said to be sweet to the taste. It is narrated in the hadith Sahih Muslim that the Muslim prophet Muhammad said "Truffles are 'manna' which Allah, sent to the people of Israel through [Musa], and its juice is a medicine for the eyes." This is the original White Mana, not to be confused with the one on Hackensack, NJ with an unexplained extra "n" in it's name.

The Mana is open 24 hours a day and while there is never a bad time to go there, 2-3 am is usually ram packed with people who have just been kicked out of bars and have the munchies. It can get really busy. I will say however, that the enjoyment one gets from eating the burgers here increases when inebriated, even a little bit. That was not the case on this Friday afternoon excursion into New Jersey where I just needed a little beefy reprieve.

THE CONQUEST
The sliders are served on a fluffy white bun, with 1 slice of American cheese and a small patty made from a smash ball of ground beef, flat griddled with onions. The crispy fries make nice appetizer as they usually arrive before your burgers. I heavily suggest a cup of grape drink to wash down your meal. I don't really enjoy sweet beverages but there is something extra special about this one. It will remind you fondly of your childhood. There's about a dozen seats all set in a semi-circle around the grill man.

One of the best parts of the Mana is watching the cook prepare the burgers. When they're busy, he'll have an army of burgers cooking in onion juices. If you can go at an off hour, you can get burgers right away, without the wait and carefully prepared sliders. However there is one advantage to a busy grill, the burgers cook in more juices and onions to give you that real slider experience. Unlike your A-typical slider, these aren't greasy as the juices are sealed inside.

I will admit that it's been awhile since my last visit to the Mana, and it seems they have changed buns. This felt bigger than in the past, creating a disproportionate bun to beef ratio, in favor of the bun. I also remember the patios being juicier but perhaps it's the larger bun sucking up all the grease. Regardless, it's still a classic, it's a legend, it delicious and if you haven't had them yet, head over and get 3, 6, 10 or as many as you can handle.

I love this website. It's all one big hilarious laugh to me. It was never intended to be anything more than eating burgers with my friends and telling some silly stories. The fact that I get invited out to eat burgers, meet people and get to be on TV is a total gas. I joke all the time, and it comes more true everyday, I am becoming more and more Burger Famous.

I replied with hell yes and a day later this arrived in my office:

It is a damn nice official Sonic Drive-In genuine pro-weave sweatshirt blanket and a $100 gift card to any Sonic Drive-In. Looks like its time for me to rent a car and head out to 1 of their 5 locations in New Jersey!

brgr Upper East Side Launch - A Bittersweet Bite

1026 Third Avenue
New York, NY 10065

brgr UES launch--sample grass-fed beef burgers and meet the farmers

THE CONQUEST
One of the reasons I got myself into the music business as my day job; I love working behind the scenes, helping artists and being the first to hear, see, meet, learn about new music. It's a blessing and a curse for a music junkie. When I get to help out a band I love, like Alice In Chains, it's amazing. However, it does ruin a little of the mystique and change the fan experience. Don't get me wrong, I love what I do and wouldn't trade it for the world.

I've been pretty careful not to let similar factors change my experience in the world of food. This is nothing more than a fun hobby and identity which pays off in delicious food. Let me very blunt about this, I have no shame in the food game. Promise me free food or give me a look behind the scenes and I will respond with positive reviews and updates. I'm not out to prove journalistic integrity or uphold some corporate responsibility to maintain secrecy in my approach. I am a press whore and will do anything for a restaurant that does something for me. Having said that, everything I write on here is absolutely, 100% representative of my feelings and all ratings reflect my real opinion.

..but I will always accept a free burger!

That's exactly what happened on September 22, 2010. I received an invite from NYC local grass-fed burger specialists, brgr to attend the launch of their Upper East Side location.

"Who: brgr, the home of the 100% grass-fed beef burger, invites you to join us for the opening of our new Third Avenue Restaurant. Meet brgr CEO Steve Leicht, along with John Wood, the founder and head farmer of grass-fed beef purveyor U.S. Wellness Meats, and Rick Osofsky, farmer for New York State’s Ronnybrook Farms Dairy.

What: brgr is growing and we want you to celebrate with us! Our new Third Avenue restaurant has the same delicious grass-fed burgers and fresh milkshakes that have made our Seventh Avenue restaurant a Chelsea favorite. Sample the burgers, the milkshakes, and the fries; check out the new space; learn about the grass-fed difference; and meet the people behind the food

Why:
Because you’ll find out that grass-fed beef can taste good and be good for you. Because you’ll get to meet a couple of real, live life-long farmers who will talk to you about how their farming practices are better for you, for the environment, and for the animals. And, really, how often do you get to meet the people who actually made and produced your food? And drink while doing it?"

That's good enough reason for me to come out and bring a couple members of the Burger Conquest "Team Burger." I've reviewed brgr in the past on a visit I made with Aaron, from the band The Almost. It's a damn tasty burger with a great concept. brgr serves grass-fed burgers because, according to them, they taste better, are healthier and better for the environment. Plus owner Steve Leicht is a damn nice guy and even once offered to send me burgers when I was laid up in the hospital. What brgr didn't know is just how special this occasion was to me, but more on that later.

Due to traffic delays caused by dignitaries at the United Nations (grrrrrr), Jackie and I arrived 45 minutes late for the event where Bram and Buckshot were waiting for us. We walked in right as Steve, John and Rick were giving their heartfelt presentation about the care that goes into maintaining the quality of their products. I'll skip the paraphrasing and deliver the message exactly as it was presented that evening.

"Our grass-fed beef brgrs aren't just good for you and the planet, they're also just plain good! Enjoy yours pure and simple or topped with such fresh gourmet toppings as Roquefort, Gruyere and Cheddar cheese, Haas avocado and herb mayonnaise.

Or try our equally great-tasting natural turkey brgr and garden veggie brgr. All pair deliciously well with sides of russet potato fries, sweet potato fries and onion hay. Top it all off with one of our award-winning milkshakes made with farm-fresh milk and ice cream that contain no hormones, antibiotics or additives. "

THE BURGER
That evening, at the private event, all menu items were available for free. We could have as much or as little as possible. While part of me wanted to order one of everything, I thought that would be wasteful and not at all in line with brgr's concept. Instead I selected just 2 brgrs and 1 side to order;

1. THE RAINFOREST BRGR / Beef Patty + Gruyere + Avocado + Herb Mayonnaise + Lettuce + Tomato

2. THE FRESH MORNING BRGR / Beef Patty + American Cheese + Fried Egg + Thousand Island Dressing + Grilled Onions + Lettuce + Tomato

3. The Trio / Russet Fries + Sweet Potato Fries + Onion Hay

While I waited for the food to be cooked, I met John Wood from US Wellness Meats to learn more about his company's beef prep techniques. I also got a chance to say hello to Steve who profusely thanked us for coming and spread his praise for our silly website. With little delay, the food order was up and I was ready to eat.

I started with the Fresh Morning brgr. Aside of cheese, my favorite topping on a burger is an egg and when I saw that on the menu, I had to try. After a bite or two, Steve came over and asked for my thoughts on the brgr. When I told him "its' really good. You can taste the freshness in the beef and it's distinct flavor is truly delicious. I love the egg. It was prepared just right! Most places over cook and fry the egg but this one was juicy and creamy without being runny." "All of our eggs are organic," said Steve as he began talking about how they make their brgrs. The guy has a lot of pride and its shows in the food. While I don't love thousand island dressing, I will say the sweetness of the sauce and the grilled onions, compliment the saltiness of the beef and cheese. The leaf lettuce is fresh and crispy and if you love yourself like I love me, you'll order your sandwich on one of brgr's fresh, soft and tasty whole wheat buns.

Up next, the Rainforest Brgr. Using the same tasty beef patty and yummy whole wheat bun as the basis of the burger, leaving room for the toppings to work their magic. The avocado tastes as though it was picked that morning and is very fresh and creamy. The Gruyere is a very savory cheese that adds but does not take control of the sandwich's flavor. I'm not a mayo fan but everyone once in awhile will add it to my burger when it's a house specialty. I'm glad I did for this one because the dominant taste is the herbs, not the mayonnaise. They add a subtle taste difference to the brgr.

I love french fries. I also love sweet potato fries and onion rings. What I love even more is when I can order all 3!! Oh man, ask Jackie, these things are addictive! Hot, juicy, crispy and oh sooooo savory. Jackie was having trouble stopping herself from eating the entire basket. Be sure to get The Trio as the mix offerings all work to compliment each other.

Nothing says you care like attention to detail and that is most certainly the case with Steve and brgr. From the decorative walls telling the story to the extremely clean bathrooms and the floor made to look like grass, everything about brgr, beyond the food, calls attention to style, care and design. It's great and you will love it. On the way out we were handed a gift bag containing a brgr shirt, $10 gift certificate and 3 of the most delicious cookies I have ever eaten in my life. If there is such a thing as grass-fed crack cocaine, it's in these cookies. It's a sweet, oatey, chocolaty and sturdy but not crunchy adventure in desserts. I brought them home where my wife Cara and I devoured every amazing bite.

Now, what Steve and crew did not know was the special nature of this Conquest. This was to be Jackie's last Burger Conquest as she was moving to Los Angeles only a few days later. I have had the pleasure of working with Jackie and calling her one of my friends for 8 plus years. She is by far one of the nicest, most generous and fun loving people I have ever known. Jackie's hard work and dedication helped to make our company, Yeah! Management, what it is today. Anyone who has ever met Jackie knows she is as high quality a person as a brgr! It is with a heavy heart that I wish Jackie all the best in her new life as she is one of my favorite people in the world. Other than my wife, Jackie has been on more Burger Conquests than any other friend of mine. You'll be missed my burger eatin' pal but the West coast better look out! The delicious burgers in South Cali have no idea what's in store for them.

Jackioalltrades,

I love ya lots and look forward to eating with you in the burger capital of the West. May the beef be with you.

And now for a special announcement, meeeehhhhhh
