dining out BY VICTOR G. MIMONI There’s a new burger place in town where you can eat healthy. Normally, you wouldn’t put these two ideas together, but organic is the new healthy and Burger Village in Great Neck does it in style. We were first tempted to give it a try as the aromas just beckoned us through the front door. The advertised organic meals closed the deal. Brothers Nick and Vick Yadav were brought up in the restaurant business and opening their own restaurant has been their dream. They proudly discuss the menu, featuring 100 percent all natural ingredients – USDA certified organic, cage free, grass fed, hormone and antibiotic free meats and non-GMO produce grown locally, with no herbicides or pesticides. “At Burger Village our products do not come from a factory,” Nick says. “They come from farms and dairies that are mostly family owned and operated. The livestock and produce are nourished and cared for in a natural and humane way.” You know the brothers are serious in their commitment to quality organic dining when you sit in the comfortable dining area, paneled in recycled wood. Reading the extensive menu is absolute confirmation. Your choices include turkey, bison, ostrich, elk, wild boar and lamb in addition to beef (patties or on salad) as well as black bean, mushroom and veggie burgers. Chicken for tenders and sandwiches are humanely handled and raised. Amazingly, with prices from $9-$13, the value is healthy, too. Even the hot dog, grass-fed Kobi beef, is only $7. BURGER VILLAGE Your burger can be nestled in a brioche or multigrain bun, or even lettuce for the carb-averse. Gluten free buns and whole wheat wraps are also available. The many toppings and sides include: regular or seasoned fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries, goat cheese, shaved aged parmesan, arugula and lots more. Even the soft drinks are healthier than you would expect and organically sourced. Sodas are caffeine free, cane juice sweetened, 100 percent allnatural, hand crafted by the Maineroot Company. Then again, you can get some healthy anti-oxidants in a glass of very nice red wine. If you have room, dessert awaits. Their shakes are made with organic ice cream and include strawberry, raspberry and blueberry, banana and even peanut butter, in addition to the old standbys, vanilla and chocolate. The flourless chocolate cake is simply amazing and all I can say about their vanilla bean cheese cake is that it’s beyond the beyond. So if you’ve been craving a juicy, flavorful burger or a really healthy salad -- or you just want to go to town on an old-time ice cream float, head to Burger Village.
