The Chain

Elevation Burger

I wasn’t going to include a chain. I really wasn’t. Despite the meteoric rise of chains like Shake Shack and Five Guys, I didn’t think that a chain, turning out a homogenous product, would have the soul to make it onto a list of best burgers. Then I tried Elevation Burger. To be honest, I don’t know which surprised me more: that it took so long for a chain like this to come along or that it ever came along at all. Elevation Burger, whose name comes from the desire to elevate the burger experience, uses 100% organic, grass fed, free range beef which is freshly ground on premises.  Their french fries are also cut on site and fried in “100% heart-healthy olive oil.” The restaurant states, “”Ingredients Matter” isn’t just a slogan: it reflects our constant focus on a superior product that makes a real difference, both to our guests as well as the environment. In fact, it’s core to our mission to play a leading role in progressing beyond the harmful practices of industrial agriculture to pursue a more sustainable and healthier future.” The chain donates its used oil for conversion to bio-diesel, recycles store waste and even finishes restaurants with “renewable, non-polluting materials such as bamboo, sorghum and recycled/recyclable materials.”

Local franchise owner Dan Magnus, a former media executive, said the fact that he and his wife were raising their children on organic food made the decision to open Elevation Burger a natural. In fact, he relayed the fact that a patron at his Rye Brook location stopped him to thank him for opening because she could now give her kids the food they love without feeling like an irresponsible parent. This is because their organic beef boasts more nutrients and lower calories and saturated fat. Which is all nice. I appreciate the effort, but this is not a list of best global citizens or civic duty after all, it is a list of best burgers. I am happy to report that Elevation’s use of USDA-certified organic, grass fed beef has, in fact, elevated the burger. The moment you bite into one you taste a difference in flavor. Many haute burgers use blends of different types of beef, as does Elevation, but the real difference seems to be due to the grass fed, free range beef. It yields a clean, beefy flavor that, despite an extensive list of available toppings, can truly stand on its own.

The fact that the beef is ground on premises leads to a fantastic texture as the meat isn’t overly packed and dense, just crumbly, juicy, beefy perfection. I mentioned the extensive toppings, but they are impressive as well as extensive. No “cheese product” on this burger, but 6 month aged cheddar which further heightens the enjoyment. The bacon is organic as well, the quality and flavor also outstanding.

As a burger aficionado the very idea of a Veggie Burger is borderline blasphemous, however I must give a nod to Elevation’s which had visible vegetables and an enjoyable flavor. I know this is not the most detailed description, but I’m taking time to praise a Veggie Burger, read between the lines!

Though Elevation takes pride in its use of “100% Heart-Healthy Olive Oil” for its French fries, I admit I was a bit skeptical.  Olive oil has a lower smoking point than canola or peanut oil and I just wasn’t sure how crispy they could be. I am happy to report me fears were unfounded.

They were all you could want from an order of fries. Crispy exterior, fluffy interior and beautifully salted. All that and healthier to boot! I should also note that the frying station was impossibly clean. The gleaming fryers looked like they’d never been used even though I was there right at the tail end of lunch time.

Elevation also offers an array of shakes and malts. There is no pretension that these are healthier than other malt options, but they are delicious. And with all the calories and fat you just saved in choosing Elevation over other fast food options, don’t you deserve it?

In its dedication to quality Elevation Burger has produced a recipe for success that should allow it to thrive nationally and to become a classic burger offering locally.
