"It's been a savory run for Filipino chow in the Big Apple," reports the Philippine Daily Inquirer as Chori Burger by the Filipino eatery, Jeepney Gastropub won the 2014 Golden Hamburger trophy of Time Out New York’s Battle of the Burger.

While Lumpia Shack Snackbar's sizzling sisig was billed by the New York Times as "arguably the greatest pork dish on earth."

Ligaya Mishan described Lumpia Shack's sisig as, "Ears, jowls, belly. They come brined, blanched, shattered and fried, each tip blackened and alchemized, each pocket of fat approaching liquefaction. A raw yolk idles on top. Stab it and churn."

Adding that, "This is sisig, the greatest pork hash — arguably greatest pork dish — on earth. Say the name with two flicks of the tongue, somewhere between a whisper and a hiss."

Jeepney's Chori burger on August 7, beat other top New York burger contenders such as Burger Joint, Corner Bistro, Donovan’s, Five Guys, Shake Shack and Steak and Shake.

The runner-up, meanwhile, goes to Dale Talde, a Filipino-American chef and owner of Pork Slope, a food joint that specializes on pork dishes.

Chori Burger, which will compete in the 2015 Battle of the Burger in Miami, Florida is made of challah bun, half beef and half longganisa patties, and topped with banana ketchup and atsara.

The burger also comes with kamote fries and Maggi garlic aioli dip, reports ABS-CBN.
