KDH popped into our favorite Sag Harbor restaurant, LT Burger to have a girls lunch on Tuesday with our gorgeous new friend, Aussie, Hamptonite, & travel mogul, Melanie Brandman. We chatted about the exciting new glossy design of her web venture, The Travel Curator, which will ignite an incurable case of wanderlust in all who log on! …look forward to a glam At-Home feature on Melanie coming soon….go check out her site!  [The Travel Curator ]

We also had the pleasure of sitting with one of our favorite Hamptonites, Executive Chef of LT Burger~ Andrew Buffalino. KDH was dying to hear all about the holiday weekend mayem at Sag Harbor’s hottest spot…

“As a chef and someone who takes a lot of pride in what I do, I was really happy with our Memorial Day weekend at LT Burger,” shares Andrew, “I felt like everything left the kitchen to my satisfaction, nothing went out without being perfect, and we served over 1,000 people on Sunday alone!”

KDH had to ask just how many burgers can that many hungry Hamptonites eat? Andrew shares, “In just beef burgers alone, we served over 2,000 from Thursday to Monday, not to mention how many tuna and veggie burgers were made!”

Here’s a fun fact will fry your brain: Andrew’s team went through OVER 600 POUNDS of potatoes during the big weekend making french fries, not to mention serving over 1,000 shakes! UMMM…..HOLY COW!! [pun intended]

“I took the traditional way of making a Middle Eastern falafel burger and added our touch to it combining the chick peas with parsley, garlic, and carrots and put it all into a grinder,” says Andrew. “Then, we make a patty and freeze it. To prepare, we lightly fry the outside to keep the patty together and finish it off in the oven. It’s a totally vegan dish that’s a big hit when its on the list of specials!”

The Chick Pea Burger is topped with watercress, avocado and tzatziki and served on a bed of finely minced red onion, celery, tomato & lemon rind on a whole wheat bun. So delicious!!!

Ready for the dessert details? I gave in to temptation to try The Brownie and Butter Shake which is decadently made of brownie chunks, peanut butter, butterscotch, soft serve coffee ice cream, and is usually topped with whip cream and toasted peanuts~ which I decided was probably not the best for my bikini season.
