>Ridgewood blog Poll : Smith Brothers Takes “best burger”
the Staff of the Ridgewood blog
Back in June the Ridgewood Historical Society hosted its first “Best Burger” Barbecue on at the Schoolhouse Museum..Five Ridgewood restaurants provided burger samples: The Office, Daily Treat, Park West Tavern, Smith Brothers and MacMurphy’s.
The Office served up the winning burger a black pepper crusted burger with a garlic mayo on a brioche bun.
The Judges were Joy Hamburger, cookbook author and Curator of the Schoolhouse Museum; Keith Killion, Mayor of Ridgewood; Deirdre Ward, Social Editor for The Ridgewood News; Joan Groome, Executive Director, Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce; and Drew Nieporent, noted restaurateur and notably the owner of the Tribeca Grill, NOBU and Corton.
So we decided to ask our readers what they think is the best burger in Ridgewood and
our poll came out a little different than the professionals .
Geographically blog readers from Texas,Ohio , Minnesota and New Jersey all opted for Smith Brothers ,while California ,Iowa , Pennsylvania , Virginia and New York gave the Office their vote.
In our poll Smith Brothers lead all the way ,in the end capturing 26% of the vote . Early on the Park West Tavern made a run for the number one spot but was held off by supporters of Smith Brothers.
The Office 22%
Daily Treat 14%
Park West Tavern 18%
Smith Brothers 26%
MacMurphy’s. 21%
