Knicks Brunch Burgers with Balsamic Onion Marmalade

brunch-burger-2

There’s a good, old-fashioned bar and grill in our neighborhood that Mr. SGCC and I like to frequent.  It’s called Knick’s Tavern & Grill. The food is good, the beer is cold and you can watch TV while you eat. Just like being at home!  Knick’s menu is pretty much what you would expect from that sort of a place – great wings, salads and burgers.  They also have quite a few unexpected and interesting offerings.

One of our favorite dishes to order there is Knick’s Brunch Burger.  It’s a Black Angus beef burger, served on a toasted pita and topped with a fried egg, hence, the name Brunch Burger.  I don’t know why, but there’s something about an oozey, gooey fried egg dribbling down over a big, juicy, meaty burger that’s just magic to me!  read more >>
