The Grill ‘Em All NYC Victory Lap Sells Out!!
http://grillemalltruck.com
To celebrate their recent victory on the Food Network’s “The Great Food Truck Race,” the guys from the Los Angeles based Grill ‘Em All Truck made a triumphant return to NYC to serve their burgers. Unbelievably appreciative of the support that New York City showed to help them win the competition, the guys took over 8 restaurant kitchens to serve their unique menu. With A LOT of help from Burger Conquest, Burger Maker, Whisk, Bar Coastal and Shmaltz Brewing, the Grill ‘Em All crew sold out every single performance on the “Victory Lap.”
No two services were the same as they were in different restaurants and with a constantly changing and limited menu. While the unique events were extremely complicated and difficult to plan, the guys proved they can do what they do best, without the truck that gave them notoriety, THE BEAST!
As the “Victory Lap” rolled on, secret menu items were announced and added to the menu. Thrillist let out the word on the extremely limited burger, the Dee Snider.
Also announced was the FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE. It allowed fans to “upgrade their burger” by letting the patty take a ride in the Bar Coastal “Suicide” hot wing sauce, thus creating a sandwich that was as hot as the sun.
During the last meal on the “Victory Lap'” at Traffic The Tankard was announced via twitter practically challenging customers by allowing the Chef to top a burger with whatever they were feeling at that moment.
The real surprise came in the form of The Annihilator, a burger only served twice while at Traffic. The burger was an inhuman stack of multiple grilled cheese sandwiches, Burger Maker Patties, bacon, french fries and more cheese! This monster was served to 2 patrons as a surprise, one of which was ex-NFL player and now CBS College Football Analyst, Brian Jones.
Several hungry and excited fans attended multiple meal services and were able to sample several different Grill ‘Em All Truck signature burgers. One such satisfied customer was Camille Ford, the Host of the Travel Channel’s “Food Wars.” The Grill ‘Em All guys met Camille when they were once featured on the LA Burger Wars episode of the show.
Thanks to a number of talented chefs, friendly restaurants, hardworking cooks and servers and a whole mess of hungry people, the Grill ‘Em All “Victory Lap” was a massive success and a ton of fun. On behalf of Burger Conquest and Grill ‘Em All, we say “thank you New York. We love you too!” They will be back again but not sure when.
The rest of the world had better look out, we are already planning on doing this in other cities. Interested restaurants and parties should contact bookgrillemall@burgerconquest.com
One last time, a massive thank you to Burger Conquest, Burger Maker, Whisk, Bar Coastal and Shmaltz Brewing for helping to make this event happen.
Here is a gallery of behind the scenes and in the action photos I was able to take during the Grill ‘Em All “Victory Lap.”

– ABOUT GRILL ‘EM ALL –
Heavy Metal and cult culture fill your head with so many visions and ideas. They make your soul glow with the unholy light and create the sensations to the senses. But still they leave your stomach empty and sad. Take heed heshers: Grill ‘Em All is here to fill the void that music and mayhem cannot. Enter the realm of the burger.
Grill ‘Em All is steadfast in the belief that the heavy metal and culinary worlds were bound to collide one day in a victorious marriage of massive meat and riffage. Where better for this battle to commence than the city of fallen angels? Los Angeles, your cries in the night have been answered. Cry no more!
Grill ‘Em All is led into battle by the team of chef Ryan Harkins and Matthew Chernus. The two have been allies and band mates for over twenty years. Ryan has paid his dues as a veteran of professional kitchens for over a decade strong, having worked in Chicago, Los Angeles, St. Louis and Cleveland, Ohio. The combination of his fine dining background and strong Midwestern roots has left him a desire to place a gourmet take on his first love, the hamburger. Dare to stop him! Matthew also beckoned as the future of America is an ex professional wrestler and he owns a megaphone. Need I say more on his behalf? I dare not in fear of being Liger Bombed through a barbed wire board with black windows and broken forties of King Cobra beneath.
Together they are ready to turn the key, they are ready to hit the streets, and they are ready to… GRILL ‘EM ALL!
The Grill ‘Em All Truck N.Y.C. “Victory Lap” is being presented and run by Rev. Ciancio from https://burgerconquest.com with assistance from Burger Maker an
d Whisk.
Chef Ryan and Matt are available for interviews over the phone and in person. Please contact therev@burgerconquest.com to schedule and for all inquiries.
