Not all burgers are created equal and to test this theory I made a decision to stop by this burger-centric restaurant that’s rumored to be probably the greatest in town, F. Ottomanelli Burger & Belgian Fries in Woodside, New York.
What makes F. Ottomenneli different?
Fresh never Frozen
One thing Frank knows is quality meat. Coming from a long history of butchery family, Frank brings the same quality beef to his burgers. Across the street, every morning at the Ottomanelli Butcher Shop, the butcher prepares the day’s beef patties. Bread produced from fresh cuts of meat. Nothing has ever been frozen and no additives or fillers have been added. All you get is the freshest burger you can find in New York City.
Built in Sense
While most burger joints add toppings on top, F.Ottomannelli does things a little differently. Here the spices and toppings are ground into the burgers. What you get is a burger topped with cheese, bacon or jalapeños cooked just right with flavor that permeates every bite.
Belgian fries
If you have never tried Belgian French Fry, you are missing the best way to eat potatoes. The secret is a double cooking process that enables for a crisp on the outside and soft on the inside.
Homemade sauce
To complement the fries (or burgers), F. Ottomanelli’s offers a number of dipping sauces from bacon ranch to chipotle to barbeque. So skip the ketchup and go for some different sauces. My suggestion is truffle mayo or sriracha (if you like it spicy).
Vegan Friendly
If you are vegan, there are options for you too. Frank hasn’t skimped on the quality of his veggie burger either. They aren’t factory bought but made fresh and shipped, never frozen. What you get is a thick, flavorful veggie burger that even “beef lovers” will enjoy.
