Dinner at Bareburger in NYC

Finally took Dan to Bareburger.  While this time we had to wait, it was only 15 minutes or so, not too bad.  Dan got elk and I tried wild boar.  Both of us really enjoyed our meats - very juicy and similar to beef but definitely different.  Hard to explain why but I'm glad I tried something new.  We also shared onion rings and fries, which was a little too much food ha.  But everything was delicious and the meal overall not too expensive for elevated burgers.

Habanero Express - elk burger with pepperjack cheese, tomatoes, raw red onions, pobalano peppers, habanero chipotle mayo, buffalo sauce and topped with spicy fried pickle chips, all on brioche bun.  Dan really enjoyed this and def tasted a kick

Big Blue Bacon - wild boar with Wisconsin blue cheese, country bacon, sauteed mushrooms, fried onions, and bacon marmalade on brioche.  First of all, I got this last time and I cannot tell you how amazing it was.  The bacon marmalade alone makes this order-worthy, but everything together is perfection.  The blue cheese isn't too extreme/stinky and the roughness is tempered by the bacon marmalade.  The country bacon was really thick and almost hammy.  The bun was perfect ratio of bun to toppings.  Order this with your fav meat.

Rings and fries combo.  Onion rings were tasty, but the onions weren't melted into the batter so I pulled them out lol.  Fries were good but nothing that memorable.

(L to R clockwise) Smoked paprika mayo, smokehouse sauce, bare burger special sauce, and curry ketchup.  It was fun to dip in all but my fav was the BB special sauce and Dan really liked the smoked paprika mayo.  I think the thickness of those sauces worked really well with the friedness.  The ketchup and bbq type sauce were fine but there were two other bottles of ketchup on the table in little bear plastic bottles and both were better haha
