The Cattle Call – Brad Garoon from Burger Weekly
The Cattle Call – All the beef that’s behind the people who make & connect us to the Burgerverse.
Brad Garoon’s undiagnosed OCD and lifelong love of hamburgers led him to organizing Burger Weekly, a place for him to express his gluttony in a tidy manner while helping the world’s burger-lovers find the right joints at which to chow-down. Every ‘Merica Monday, NY Weekly Wednesday, and Foreign Friday, Burger Weekly brings news of the world’s best (and unfortunately, sometimes most disappointing) bovine offerings.
