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 consideration that it ISN'T the most creative thing out there, despite how good it was. 
The second burger I had was The Slugger. The Slugger was recommended by the person working as their most popular burger and for good reason. The Dugout already knows how to cook and season the patty, and then they decided to be daring and add Grilled Pineapple? This will start a whole new argument between the people who believe pineapple belongs on pizza vs. the people who say it doesn't. The grilled pineapple was such an interesting addition that added a little sweetness to the burger. The Bang Bang sauce was described by the worker as a "sweet sriracha" which while I don't think was bad, was the reason the burger didn't score higher. The sweetness came through more than the spicy on the Bang Bang sauce and that with the pineapple, made the burger just a little too sweet. I think that if they had used a sriracha that WASN'T sweet, we would scoring this burger a lot higher. But overall, one of the best burgers I have had in recent memory. 


VERDICT:  (Double Header) 3.5 out of 5 Stars.
VERDICT:  (The Slugger) 4 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

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...

Snuffer's

Snuffer's Dallas, TX Dr. Pepper BBQ Bacon Burger Dr. Pepper-infused BBQ sauce, American Cheese, Pickles, Diced Red Onions, Mayo, Applewood Smoked Bacon Strips & Crispy Bacon Crumbles $8.99 Over the past weekend I took a trip to Dallas to take my fiance to a concert of her favorite singer (Post Malone) and I decided to grab a couple burgers, this was the first stop and boy did it not disappoint. Originally, I chose this place as it had released a "DakBurger" in 2016 in honor of the Dallas Cowboys quarterback, so i knew this place had to be fun at least to have such a good marketing strategy, and upon arriving I learned that it was a limited time thing, but when I came across this burger on the menu, being the Dr. Pepper super fan I am, I had to get it. THE SAUCE IS AMAZING. I honestly had no idea going into the burger what I was expecting from the sauce, but I defiinetly wasn't expecting anything this good.You could taste the bbq sauce in it, bu...
