The challenge of NYC Burger Week is not only staying relevant but also original. At the end of the day, all NYC Burger Week events are the same – show up, eat Burgers, have fun. If all the events were that drab, similar and boring there would be no point. Coming up with a theme sometimes is really difficult and other times, it’s really easy. Especially when you are working with Chef Eva, the Brother Jimmy’s Team and the Sisterhood of the Unbuttoning Pants.

When you have a restaurant that’s already known for Southern food, great drinks and good times, crafting up a Kentucky Derby themed party isn’t easy … it’s a blast! Eva is a really talented Chef surrounded by a great team and they made coming up with 4 off-menu, Southern-inspired Burgers look like a walk in the park. The rest just came down to having a good time, which is always on tap at Brother Jimmy’s.

The “Pants” as we call the lovely siblings behind the Sisterhood took this from being a good idea to being really fun and energetic. Who bets on Burgers? WE DO!

Kentucky Derby parties will never be the same again!! 4 Burgers, 3 different sides and 5 drinks? Everyone who left this party left full, happy and a little light on the feet. After all that, the 2 minute race almost seemed like an after thought, or moreover, just a reason to have a good time. AND A GOOD TIME WE HAD! Thank you to Chef Eva, Jon and everyone at Brother Jimmy’s. This was most certainly a complicated event with lots of moving parts and steps. It was a little like conducting a dance or Broadway show, the tastiest one ever created it. You all handled it so well that you deserve a Tony Award for best performance. The Burgers were awesome, the drinks were fantastic and the service was outstanding. Thank you for an awesome finale to NYC Burger Week. Let’s also give thanks to Woodford for supporting our event and supplying excellent prizes! Thank you to Ali & Daryl AKA The Sisterhood of the Unbuttoning Pants. These two fantastic ladies know where the good food is and how to have a blast sharing it with friends. Thanks for your help in creating this awesome party and spreading the word. That’s what makes you #Burgeratti. Thanks to official NYC Burger Week photo Ben Trivett for capturing all the fun in pictures. Thank you to all the guests who came out and had a bite and a laugh with us at Brother Jimmy’s. We hope you had as much fun doing this as we did.
