I feel lucky to live near the best burger places in Buffalo. Having lived in the neighborhood for 30 years, I had pretty much given up hope of living in his 400-500 block on Elmwood Avenue. So, until recently, a number of announcements predicted things were definitely getting better.

I spoke to Nick Kotrides, co-owner of Cluck Cluck Moo Moo, about how delicious their smash burgers are. he said: it’s not.

Did you know how a burger gets seared on the outside after it’s been cooked? Thanks to the small pockets, the same thing happens inside the burger. The edges of the burger are crispy and the portions are crispy charred. throughout Burger. The cheese helps hold the ground beef together. That’s why it tastes so good – like a hot mess in your hand. “

Then there’s the signature homemade smash sauce, which Nick describes as tangy.Sauce – add on top and Burger Bottom – Cut through the richness of the burger.

It’s been three weeks since Cluck Cluck Moo Moo opened. It started out offering smash burgers and fries, but recently added chicken sandwiches.
“It’s four ounces of chicken breast marinated in a pickle brine,” Nick told me. “We make our own flour mix for the crumbs. It’s a buttermilk dough cooked in a sweet and savory sauce…like honey mustard Dijon. A perfect ratio of bun to chicken breast.” To do this, we use soft buns similar to those used for smash burgers.”
Originally, the restaurant was going to serve sliders, but after careful consideration, they decided to change course when they couldn’t find a match for the other two sandwiches.of pivot This time, we are introducing a pork chop sandwich called Oink Oink. They are testing it now.
According to Nick, customer reactions to the Cluck Cluck Moo Moo were: nuts.
