Really Have It Your Way!

     If you have a hankering for a hamburger there is no shortage of franchise places to go out and purchase one.  Wendy's, Burger King, McDonald's and White Castle are just a few of the burger joints around that will sell you an all beef burger.  But what if your taste buds are craving something a little different from the usual, "two all beef patties....."?



     Well now there's a restaurant chain that can serve you a burger made from elk that has more protein and less fat than traditional beef.  Oh, not interested in something made from Bambi's cousin?  At Bareburger you can also get an organic, all-natural, free-range burger made from turkey, wild boar, bison, ostrich, emu or goat.  They have veggie burgers, too.



     It all began in a small space in Astoria, Queens in 2009.  Three guys with an idea whose time had come.  Custom made burgers with quality ingredients and high class condiments.  Consider the options for cheese...artisan cheese, that is.  Colby, pepper jack, manchego, queso fresco, Gouda, pimento and Amish blue in addition to cheddar are all available.  And you can adorn your burger with veggies like alfalfa, wild mushrooms, jalapenos and 4 different kinds of onions.  And what's a burger without a "secret sauce?"  It's no secret that Bareburger offers 5: habanero mayo, buttermilk ranch, mint yogurt, smoke sauce and guacamole besides the standard mayo, ketchup and stone mustard.  And 2 different kinds of relishes: piquante, and pineapple and also a tomato and fig jam.  Finally you get to decide what kind of bun will hold all that: multi grain, tapioca rice, brioche, sprout, or hemp milk.

     Want a salad? There are 6 to choose from.  Other sides include fries, onion rings, pickles (dill, sweet, or spicy), wasabi carrot slaw, and chicken tenders.  All fried foods are prepared in 100% non-GMO canola oil.  Or maybe you just want a sandwich.  They have a Duck Duck Gouda sandwich on the menu that includes duck bacon and a fried egg.  You can wash it all down with a root beer float or a milk shake and then take a look at the dessert menu at one of their 18 restaurants located in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Ohio or Pennsylvania.  

     But really having it your way does come at a cost considering that a mere milk shake will set you back around $5 and most of the desserts are nearly $7.
