Mahopac's South Side Sports Bar Is Finalist In DVlicious Burger Contest

BREWSTER, N.Y. -- The burger, America's quintessential comfort food, can be dressed up (think Kobe beef, an expensive cheese, a housemade bun) or down (as in simple ketchup, maybe a pickle). Anyway you flip it, it's a winner.

Secret "Sauce" Behind Burger's Flavor: Burgers are eight ounces of black Angus beef using fresh, never frozen, meat. "It's a substantial, sizeable burger, fresh off the grill into your hands," said Manager Dan Seco. "It's like you grilled it yourself." He also cites quality ingredients.
