The World’s Best Grilled Chicken Burgers

May 31 2011  |  Recipes   |  6 Comments

This Recipe comes from Brian Peck of  McArthur’s in Pleasantville, New York. Brian’s food is the backbone of my diet, and McArthur’s is my home-away-from home, after long hours at the office. Brian cooked for President Bill Clinton and catered private parties for the U.S. Secret Service. Today, he has a wide following in the five restaurants where he oversees kitchens. Diners love the homey taste of his food, his reliance on fresh ingredients, and his creative flair with comfort fare.

Brian’s recipes are ideal for the carbohydrate-conscious home cook. Wonderfully homemade, they are the legacy of his mother’s friends (first developed after Brian took over his family’s cooking at age thirteen following his mother’s untimely death), later refined at the CIA (the Culinary Institute of Arts) and in the kitchen of one of Zagat’s highest-rated restaurants in Westchester. Special thanks to Joanne, Brian’s wife, who pushed Brian to pen them before she put them all on disk to share with Syndrome W readers.
