I am a fan.  I rooted for him.  Although he lost to Rick Bayless the title of Top Chef Masters, I remain a fan.  So when the opportunity to check out Hubert Keller’s Burger Bar at Macy’s in Union Square came up, I just had to go.  It wasn’t hard to convince the rest of the pack since who can really say no to burgers?  The menu had a whole array of burgers, one that piqued my fancy was a Burger to his name – supposedly his favorite, which had, Buffalo meat, caramelized onions, baby spinach, blue cheese on a ciabatta bun.  But no, I ended up making my own burger from a whole list of ingredients that he made available on his Build Your Own Burger menu.  I eventually chose a simpler version of his favorite.  I had Angus beef with blue cheese on a ciabatta bun – a combination of favorites.  Happy.
