Gimme Back My Burgers!!!

PSYCHE!!


I hope everyone enjoyed our little April Fool's Day joke. While I actually do enjoy salads and eat several of them a week, I am, have been and always will, fueled by burgers. Burger Conquest isn't going anywhere!!

On a serious note, these are some of my favorite salads in NYC and I do encourage moderation and balance in one's diet, as well as exercise.

Stand - A Seque Burger

Stand

24 E. 12th St
New York, NY 10003

THE CONQUEST
What better way to commemorate the big change in the Burger Conquest website than with a burger salad?!??! Seriously, it's the perfect segue and especially on such a nice day. For our full review on the how, where and why on Stand, including a review of their delicious turkey meatball soup, check the previous post. Today however was an exercise in healthier eating.

THE SALAD
The Stand "burger salad" comes with "Romaine, frisee, house dressing, croutons, Parmesan, with 7 oz. beef, turkey, or chicken burger." There is no bun but for an additional charge, you can add mozzarella cheese. The oil based dressing has a very subtle flavor which allows the more dominate tastes of Parmesan and the turkey burger to take over the salad. It's really nice, just the right size for lunch and best of all, it's a good option for those of us that love burgers but trying to be healthier.
