Southwest Green Chile Burger

Angus Beef Patty topped with Spicy Roasted Chopped Green Chiles, Tillamook Cheddar, Tomato, Lettuce, Garlic Herb Mayo on a Pattycake Hamburger Bun

$11.99

Over the weekend I had a family trip to Galveston, TX to hit the beach before the summer ended and after we had gotten our fill of sand, sun, and seagulls we had to make the hard decision on where to go for lunch. If you haven't gone to Galveston before, it is filled with a lot of seafood places which I'm sure can make a good burger, but I decided to rely on a local's suggestion and heading to a small renovated house/cafe to try a burger.
Right off the back, the burger was great in size. I almost could not eat all of it and that was with my fiance stealing bites occasionally. There is no doubt you are getting your money's worth here at The Mosquito Cafe.
Moving on to the taste of the meat itself, the burger was very juicy and filled with grease, which is always a plus but it didn't appear to have a great deal of seasoning on it, The tillamook cheddar was so-so, I myself wasn't really a fan, but that is more of a preference thing. Speaking more to preferences of the burger, the garlic mayo was good but with me not being a mayo fan, I would have scored this burger much higher if they instead used a garlic butter. Lastly, on the toppings was the green chiles. These were easily the centerpiece of the burger and were showcased in a fantastic way. The chiles delivered a fantastic kick to the burger and were so flavorful that I enjoyed all bites where they were present.
One last note I would like to include about this burger, is that it is pretty hard to eat. With all the grease of the meat & the garlic mayo, the buns get soaked pretty fast and it becomes somewhat difficult to eat, but the flavor of the burger makes up for it in the long run.

VERDICT: 3.5 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

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

Kat'z Deli

Katz's Deli Shenandoah, TX Carnegie Burger Bacon, Nosh Sauce, Cheddar Cheese, Jalapeno Cream Cheese Bites, Lettuce, & Tomato $13.99 I want to start by saying Merry Christmas to everyone (or anyone) who has followed me throughout this year and with the year coming to a close, I hope to close out on some strong burgers, and this one did not let me down on that. Katz's Deli is this 24/7 Deli/Restaurant that is in front of my neighborhood and despite driving by it all the time, I never stop, and now i regret it. They had a good selection of creative burgers, but the server said that this one is the most popular and one of his favorites, so I went ahead and took his word for it, and was not let down, but enough gushing over it, let's break it down! First of all, this thing is HUGE. I could only eat about half of it and had to save the rest to go, as you can see from the picture, it's just tall because of not only how thick the patty is, but because of
