Exit 4 Food Hall in Mount Kisco has Westchester's best burger. At least according to the judges at Westchester Magazine's annual Burger & Beer Blast, which took place June 5 at Kensico Dam in Valhalla. Exit 4, which showcased its "X4 Umami," featuring Pat LaFrieda meat, American cheese, shitake red onions, crispy chili garlic sauce, and arugula on a pretzel potato bun, also got second place among attendees as a "People's Choice" winner.
