“Right now, I’d say about 90% of the menu is vegetarian. About 75% of it can be made fully vegan. If you eat meat and your friend doesn’t, you guys can both come here and have a really awesome meal.”

“Besides burgers and dogs — and you have not lived till you’ve tried the Sabrett hot dog topped with creamy peanut butter and crunchy Fritos corn chips on a Liscio’s roll — DeMarco is selling funnel cake, fried pickles, grilled cheese sandwiches, floats made with soft-serve ice cream, and their all-time favorite fountain soda, RC Cola.”
“No fries. Everybody else does them. DeMarco likes tots, in all their crunchiness, and adds creative toppings, such as a sunny-side-up egg and breakfast meats, and bacon, pizza cheese, jalapeños, and ranch dressing.”

“A good restaurant doesn’t just make your mouth happy. It makes you feel happy before your food even hits the plate. That’s why Chef Dane DeMarco is putting the fun between the bun with their new restaurant Burgertime, a delicious and colorful ode to burgers as a pop culture icon. Burgertime, a joint venture between the chef and their sister Dannett Monoyios, will open in the middle of December at 123 West Merchant St. in Audubon, NJ serving burgers and hot dogs with unique toppings as well as tots and soft-serve ice cream.”
