CRAFT BURGERS & CRAZY SHAKES FROM BLACK TAP

This debut cookbook from New York City’s viral sensation restaurant Black Tap delivers unique recipes for innovative burgers and sensational, over-the-top milkshakes.

Black Tap is no ordinary burgers-and-fries restaurant. After opening in New York’s SoHo neighborhood in March 2015, their bold, gourmet-flavored burgers and sky-high milkshakes adorned with donuts, sparklers, and oversized cookies have created a massive cult following on social media and the streets of New York, with people waiting in line for hours just to score a seat at the restaurant’s lunch counter.

Though Black Tap is known for its assertive flavors and outrageous shakes, at the heart of the brand is the notion of an old-school luncheonette: an expertly prepared burger with all the trimmings, a side of fries, and a milkshake to cap off the meal. In his debut cookbook, Black Tap chef-owner Joe Isidori delivers forty recipes for the restaurant’s signature burgers, tasty condiments and toppings, and gravity-defying milkshakes. With CRAFT BURGERS & CRAZY SHAKES, readers will be able to prepare and enjoy all of Black Tap’s classic and innovative creations in the comfort of their own kitchens, no standing in line required.

Joe Isidori is the executive chef at Chalk Point Kitchen and the chef/owner of Black Tap. He lives in New York.
