The Belgian & The Nash Vegas

The Belgian-Two smashed patties, smoked gouda, crispy onions, chopped bacon, lettuce, garlic peppercorn aioli

Nash Vegas-Sweet Potato bun, pimento cheese, crispy tobacco onions, bbq sauce

$11.99 each

Over the past few weeks, I have been very busy with work and then on vacation road tripping to Nashville, Tennessee. So naturally on this road trip I had to get some burgers, and I decided to get multiple burgers at each stop to make up for all the weeks that I missed.

The first burger I tried was The Belgian. The Belgian was an interesting burger, and let me start by saying the patties done here are cooked VERY well. M.L. Rose definitely knows how to cook and season their meat. I was a HUGE fan of their crispy onions, they were just crisp enough to still have flavor and chopped into a size that worked perfectly for being a topping on a burger. The Belgian however did come with it's flaws. The garlic peppercorn aioli was in my opinion, not the best spread that could have gone on this burger. It gave the burger a sour taste which while may be a preference to some, I don't feel would really qualify it for the "perfect burger".

The second burger I tasted was met with even more mediocrity. I took a chance on this burger due to it's interesting description and while the taste was interesting, it just didn't wow me. For those of you who don't know, tobacco onions are thinly sliced onions that are fried in flour and cayenne pepper. I had never encountered these before, so this burger made it to the must try list. Now, while this burger probably had the potential to be a great burger, it did not come out that way on my plate. The sweet potato bun was hard, and the pimento cheese tasted off. Now like the Belgian, the meat was cooked to perfection, giving it a bounce back in points, but overall could not save it.

VERDICT: (Belgian) 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
VERDICT: (Nash Vegas) 2.5 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

The Dugout

The Dugout Texarkana, Arkansas Double Header & The Slugger Double Header-2 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches, Bacon, Cheddar Cheese, Single Patty The Slugger-Single with Cheddar Cheese, Grilled Pineapple, Bang Bang Sauce, served on a White Bun $8.99 (Double Header), $6.29 (The Slugger) Over the past few weeks, I have been very busy with work and then on vacation road tripping to Nashville, Tennessee. So naturally on this road trip I had to get some burgers, and I decided to get multiple burgers at each stop to make up for all the weeks that I missed. The first burger I tried was the Double Header. In the easiest way to describe it, this was a burger patty smashed between 2 grilled cheese sandwiches. Now this doesn't seem like the most creative burger in the world, but it was FUN burger. And it was REALLY good. The Dugout is a hidden gem in Texarkana, their burgers are great! Now while I would love to give this burger a lot of points, I have to take into consideratio...

The Kitchen

The Kitchen The Woodlands, TX Cowboy Burger White Cheddar, Yellow Cheddar, Avocado, Bacon, Mixed Greens, Jalapenos, Onions, Tomatoes, Dill Pickles, Akaushi Wagyu on a Brioche Bun $13.50 For this week, I kept it very local and went to an establishment that was right across the street from my work. Going into it, I honestly didn't know what to expect because I had seen very good reviews on Facebook, but no one I personally knew had been to it so it was a bit of an enigma, and let me tell you, Facebook hit right on the money. The burger itself SOUNDS a lot bigger than it is. Don't get me wrong, it's no small burger, but just from the list of ingredients it sounds like it was going to be big, instead it was just tall. When looking at what all is on this burger, it's already got to get points for creativity. There's like a whole party of ingredients going on here The first thing I noticed was the patty. Not only do they melt their cheeses on to the p...

Bar Louie

Bar Louie The Woodlands, TX Bourbon BBQ Burger House-made Bourbon BBQ Sauce, White Cheddar, Cream Cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Crispy Onion Strings $12.50 While I do try my hardest to avoid the national chains in order to give more recognition to the mom and pop burger places out here trying to gain the success of the chains, I have to say, I was pretty blown off my feet by Bar Louie's Bourbon BBQ Burger. (Say that 5 times fast) The most interesting thing about this burger (and one thing I sadly had to dock them a little bit for) was the cream cheese. Cream Cheese on a burger tasted VERY good, I liked it for the first few bites, but then I kept hitting secret pockets of Cream Cheese that in some bites, that was all I was tasting. In moderation, this is an amazing topping to have on a BBQ burger. As we flip to the other cheese on the burger, we had white cheddar. White Cheddar is an excellent choice for a BBQ flavored burger, and while it was melted on to the...
