Mandi’s World: Our Story

A dream since childhood: to have a dog.

I have always desired to have a dog. I needed it. It burned inside me. Every time i saw a picture of a dog, especially a puppy, I felt a tug at my heart. I loved being around them. Aside from horses, they are my favorite animal.I mean, they are man’s best friend and I so wanted a dog to be my best friend. To get into mischief with me. I used to watch Full House and wish that what happened to them would happen to me. The Tanner’s got their dog, Comet, because his mom, Minnie, appeared on their yard. They were able to track down the owner after a while but not before Minnie gave birth to several puppies. Then they were able to keep one. I wished a puppy would be given to me. When kids had their imaginary friends I had an imaginary dog, which my siblings played along with me. I named it Comet after Full House.

The Brindle Burger: Quest for the Best Burger in NYC

The Journey Begins…

My husband and I stumbled upon a video, NYC’S Best Burger, Explained on the YouTube channel First We Feast (which btw has interesting content) that was the Brindle Room burger from Brindle Room. The burger’s name is actually Sebastian’s Steakhouse Burger and it is the only burger on the menu. My husband and I have an affinity for burgers. We have actually been on a journey to find the best burgers in Manhattan so we needed to try this delicious looking burger from the video. The one drawback it had was the stigma of being called the “best” in that food category. When given that title, it usually is not. You put yourself on a high pedestal that usually you can’t live up to.

Well after we saw the video, I wanted to do two things: 1. Taste the “best” burger & 2. See if it actually is the best burger because I love food. I love eating great food and I love creating food which I hope turns out to be great.
