The Woodson’s

½ Pound Patty, Bacon Jam, Mac & Cheese, Bacon, and Fried Onions on a Brioche Bun

$14.99

For my first review, I opted to go with a place that I was very familiar with the food and already knew some of the menu, and while Woodson’s is a great place for many things, I think I would opt to go for their famous Giant Pretzels rather than their Burger.

The Woodson’s Burger deserves a 5 for creativity for putting such a smorgasbord of things on its burger, but honestly it was TOO much. The conflicting textures and tastes didn’t mesh well and the individual item’s great taste by themselves got lost in the shuffle.

Expanding on that, the Mac and Cheese was great by itself, I could eat a whole plate of the fried onions if one would let me, and the meat was cooked to perfection. BUT once we stacked it all together, it became a mess. This bun of the burger fell apart within the first minute due to the cream of the mac and cheese, mixing with the liquidity of the bacon jam causing it to be almost impossible to eat as a handheld burger and turning into a fork and knife procedure.

This burger weighs in at a whopping 1 pound & 3.5 ounces. When we factor in the fact that the patty itself is a half-pound, which leaves about 11 ounces for the buns and toppings. This burger DEFINETLY gives you a good amount of food for the prices, and can easily be shared between two people and still fill them up.

VERDICT: 3.5 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

Southwell's Hamburger Grill

Southwell's Hamburger Grill Houston, TX Bacon Cheeseburger Mayo, Mustard, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, and Onions with American Cheese and Bacon. $6.40 For this week's burger trip, I decided to try out Southwell's Hamburger Grill in Houston, TX. Now I have lived in Houston my whole life and I have never heard about his place (despite it having 4 locations in the Houston area) until I looked through a burger suggestion post on Facebook, and frankly, I probably could have gone the rest of my life without hearing about it. Now before anyone jumps to any super negative conclusions, the burger wasn't "bad". It just was not what I was looking for. The meat was a pretty good size and was pretty juicy but didn't really have any seasoning, the bun seemed to be a typical hamburger bun out of a package, and the cheese seemed to be just a regular old slice of American cheese thrown on at the last parts of the grilling process. I didn't like how...

Bernie's Burger Bus

Bernie's Burger Bus Bellaire, TX Hot Cheeto Burger 2 3 oz Patties, Bacon, American Cheese, Tabasco Infused Onion Strips on top of Spicy Mac n Cheese Encrusted in Flaming Hot Cheetos with Homemade Hot Sauce $9.99 If you happen to go to Bernie's Burger Bus, the first thing you need to do is ask about their "secret" menu. That's where you will find this bad boy. For some reason, left off the regular menu, even though it could easily be called "The Hot Teacher", the server told me that this was at one point a limited time item, that got such popularity they still serve it. To start off, this burger definitely deserves a 5 for it's creativity. In lieu of buns, they instead grind up hot cheetos into a coat that they form around mac and cheese and voila, you have 2 Hot Cheeto patties with Mac n Cheese in them. That however, does seem to be a bit of the issue for them, the "buns" themselves seem to overtake the whole burger and most b...

Walden War-Tejas Cafe

Tejas Cafe (Mariel's Deli) & (Walden Market) Montgomery, TX Tejas Burger Cheese, Jalapenos, Onions, Cilanto & Chipotle Mayo on a Jalapeno Bun (with Ketchup at Tejas Cafe Walden Market) $7 For this week, I had a friend recommend me a place to go but when looking up the place, I found that there were two of the same name on the same road and when I couldn't get a hold of said friend, I had a very tough decision to make. I either tried one and hoped it was the right one, or I TRY THEM BOTH. I got both, and therefore we have the War on Walden Road between the Two Tejas Cafes. Now both Tejas Cafes are within Shell gast stations on Walden road, one in the Shell that has "Mariel's Deli" and one that has "Walden Market". Before I start, I can tell there is some skepticism, "You want me to eat gas station food?" Trust me, I had THE SAME THOUGHT before I was led to this place, but holy shit was I wrong. THIS PLACE IS GREAT. Ri...
