NYC Wine & Food Festival’s 3x People’s Choice Award Winner, the world-famous Greg Norman burger is a must-try dish at Black Tap. Dishes at this dinner place includes the juicy signature, made out of a succulent 7-ounce Wagyu patty created by grinding chuck and brisket together, which is then cooked on a flattop to achieve a ‘chef’s medium rare’ with an optimum crust. The gorgeously brown patty coated with melted blue cheese is sandwiched between two buns with arugula, lettuce, tomato, and pickles, ready to be served.

It’s then wrapped in buttery puff pastry and slivers of prosciutto, then baked until golden brown. The accompanying fresh mixed-leaves salad, creamy truffle brie mashed potatoes, and rich red wine jus add a cacophony of rich flavours to this British classic.
