When you re craving a burger in the Capital Region, where do you go? Our readers voted overwhelmingly for two burger joints with striking similarities in Best of 2021.
Both have the same possessive in their names. One hyphenates the words that follow; one doesn t. They re more than 20 miles apart in a vehicle, 10 percentage points in the voting. Jumpin Jack s Drive-In in Scotia, founded in 1956, ultimately bested the 18-years-older Jack s Drive In in Wynantskill for the title of best burger in Best of 2021.
Jumpin Jack s also claimed the top spot in Best of 2020, after the best hamburger category was changed to a single-location designation. Five Guys, which had been a strong finisher in the past was knocked out, with its eight Capital Region locations splitting the vote.

Here’s some relief for the hospitality industry, courtesy my Capitol Bureau colleague Edward McKinley:
The curfew for bars and restaurants licensed to sell alcohol will be pushed back an hour, from 11 p.m. to midnight, starting on Monday (4/19), Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo said Wednesday in a conference call with reporters.
The governor also said that horse races will be able to host crowds up to 20 percent of capacity starting next Friday. Other sporting events in New York have been open to the public for vaccinated people or those who present negative tests from within three days of the event for weeks.

I stopped for gas at my local convenient store and went in to grab a cup of coffee on my way to the radio station. When I came up to the counter to pay I was surprised by a new countertop display next to the cash register.little bottles of Fireball.
I was really surprised. I actually asked the cashier behind the counter, You carry Fireball now? she said, Yeah, I guess.
A couple of months ago I had asked the owner of the convenience store about an empty storefront in his building and he told me that was looking into opening a wine and spirits store, but that it would take at least eight to 12 months before it would open.
