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...

Black Bear Diner

Black Bear Diner Nationwide Parmesan Sourdough Cheeseburger Dijon Mustard, Swiss Cheese, Tomato, & Grilled Onions on Thick-Crust Sourdough Bread grilled golden with a Garlic Parmesan Cheese Crust $10.99 If you have had the fortune of wandering the new Metropark Square in Conroe, you might have noticed this really cool and interesting new place, called the Black Bear Diner, which is COMPLETELY decked out in Bear stuff. My kids loved everything about it. My fiance loved the breakfast plates. I did not take a loving to the burger. As you can see, the burger actually LOOKS incredible. I was super psyched when reading it, and even more so when it came out, so description and appearance are 5/5, but it's when I tasted it was when the issues started. The meat was probably one of the least favorite meat patties I have had since starting this blog. It was bland and even worse it was tough and chewy. It was almost like chewing a piece of rubber. I was shocked, because...

Uncle Tony's Burgers

Uncle Tony's Burgers Spring, TX Rattlesnake Cheeseburger Angus Beef mixed with Special Spicy Pork Sausage, Diced Onions, Chopped Jalapenos on Jalapeno Cheddar Sourdough Bun with Lettuce, Onions, Pickles, Tomato, & Muenster Cheese $12.50 As if I didn't already have my fill of spicy burgers in the past few weeks, I decided to hit it out of the park with another delectably tasty spicy burger from Uncle Tony's. Uncle Tony's Burgers claim to fame is their specialty Rattlesnake Cheeseburgers (which if you didn't read in the description) is a burger patty mixed with spicy pork sausage (hot), diced onions, & chopped jalapenos (more hot) in which they slap in between a jalapeno cheddar bun (just in case you wanted more hot). This is such a great idea and great burger for those who are fans of spiciness and should be tried immediately. As far as a breakdown of said burger, we should start with it's main attraction, the meat. The meat is so fla...
