FOODIE FILM: SPINNING PLATES

I gotta be honest, I'm very excited about this film. Not only because its obviously about food but because its main focus is on the beauty and  the experience you enjoy when dining out. It doesn't matter if your dining at a Micheline rated restaurant or your local favorite eatery; it is simply about the beauty, the experience, the love for the food being prepared and the way it nourishes your soul. Above is the trailer and dont forget to mark it on your calendars! This film debuts on October 25, 2013. You better believe VISENYC will be there when it does. Let us know what you think of the film via instagram or twitter @visenyc.

FOODIE TV: ANTHONY BOURDAIN'S PARTS UNKNOWN SEASON 2

Who amongst us can honestly say that they don't want this Guy's life? Think about it, you get to travel the world, experience different cultures, eat and get paid for it?! Who amongst us wouldn't want that? I'm sure it must be difficult living out of a suitcase, being away from your Family for months at a time, and having to deal with food-borne illnesses, but Anthony "Mother Fucking" Bourdain makes it look so G.D. easy! Lol.

Want to experience the world and not risk any of the things I mentioned above, then check out the new season of his new travel show, " Parts Unknown. " It debuts on Sunday September 15 at 9PM on CNN. Want to learn more about the show or view clips of his first season? Click here for the official Parts Unknown website. Tweet us live @visenyc to discuss the episode. Its going to be amazing!

NEW FOOD TREND: THE RAMEN BURGER!

I like to think that I am in the the know when it comes to the NYC Foodie scene but this weekend I was stumped by a good Friend and fellow Foodie. We were swapping stories of the "Must have" food items in NYC, which included the "cronut," but he totally blew my mind when he mentioned that the day before, at the Brooklyn Smorgasburg, there was a new food craze that challenged that of the cronut! Ladies and Gentlemen, VISENYC is proud to announce the "Ramen Burger!" 

This amazing hybrid was debuted this weekend at Brooklyn Flea's Smorgasburg by Shoyu Ramen Burger. Chef Keizo Shimamoto blew everyones mind with this burger! According to the Smorgasburg website, its made of "a 75%-25%, lean-to-fatty, juicy patty topped with shoyu (a secret sauce that is soy sauce based), scallions, and arugula, all packaged in a "ramen bun" made from Sun Noodles and a touch of sesame oil." Are your mouths watering yet? Mine sure as hell is!

My friend told me the line was about 150 people long and they were all trying to snag 1 of the 100 ramen burgers that were being made that day! Would you try this? Are you brave enough to handle an all beef patty, shoyu sauce, scallions, arugala, a pinch of love, all sandwiched between a sesame oil slathered ramen bun? Lol. Let us know what you think of this amazing hybrid on either instagram or twitter @visenyc.

I hope they will be cranking out these babies next week... I am soooo heading there and will even camp out if I have to! I wonder what the weather is gonna be like this weekend... Lol. See ya there!

Wanna find out what beer made the list? Click here! The only beer that didn't make the list was Uptown's very first beer from the Dyckman Beer Company.

TODAY IS NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY!

If you didn't happen to get your fill this Memorial Day, then its time to rejoice Food and Music Lovers! Why you ask? Well, the answer is simple my Friend... ITS NATIONAL HAMBURGER DAY MOTHER-F#%&ER! That's right Ladies and Gentlemen, today is the day you can stuff you face and get your fix of America's best food offering, the Hamburger. So feel free to loosen your belt, let the juices drip down your chin and onto your fresh pressed shirt, because today, unlike most, ITS EXPECTED! Lol.

If after reading this post, you must have a Hamburger, then click here for Zagat's 8 best Hamburgers in NYC. 

I think Zaggat's list is pretty accurate except for the fact that they left out two VISENYC Approved burger spots, Shake Shack (Double Shack Burger) and Coppelia (Frita Cubana). Whats that? Never heard of Coppelia or its Cuban inspired burger? Then do yourself a favor and head to 14st, like now! Lol. Chew at your own risk... It can be habit forming.

Buen Provecho
