Last friday night, i walked into the BRGR on 7 th ave. hungry and hoping they would be my solution to my hunger problem. It was my first successful pitch and i landed a hamburger (named 'a beautiful day'). I approached the cashier with my story of being new to the city and being a struggling writer who has run low on funds (in between jobs). I offered to write a story about BRGR in exchange for food. She said she would have to get the manager. She walked to the back and another woman came and i pitched her the same idea and a little reluctantly she agreed and ordered a beautiful day. I went to sit and waited for a little while. A few people who came in after me got served before me. They seemed to have forgotten about me and i had to go ask the cashier who then went to the open kitchen ( a modern looking upmarket fast food type) and asked something. I went to sit back down and finally a burger came. I had to get up and go ask again for french fries. The whole place has a kind of a hip upmarket fast food feel to it as does the food. No major complaints however. The burger was more on the smaller side but it was quite tasty.
I did not get a chance to taste what New York magazine considers the best milkshake in New York: the blueberry pomegranate milkshake. I'm still waiting on that.
While waiting i got a chance to read their food philosophy hanging on their walls. They offer beef that is hormone and antibiotic free, as well as grass fed. The cows are raised in an open pasture and treated humanely.
So you can eat at a burger joint without feeling that you are going to end up in the joint .
BRGR was great for feeding me.
