Burger Chaser

I-45 Diner Spring, TX Bacon B.B.Q. Burger Bacon, American Cheese, Grilled Onions, Lettuce, Mayonnaise $9.99 For this week's edition of the burger blog, I went to the I-45 Diner in Spring, TX which is a pretty interesting review depending on who you ask. To start off, I would like to say that this place has a VERY extensive menu, it has breakfast, lunch, snacks, dessert, pretty much anything you can think of. And while I got a burger, my fiance got a breakfast plate that was so good and filling that I am heavily considering making it one of my regular breakfast spots, but as far as burgers, I don't think i will be making this one of my regular burger spots. The first downside of this burger is (if you can tell from the picture) the bun. This is one of those buns that at filled with air, so it was kind of a downer. Moving downward you can see A LOT of BBQ sauce, like this burger is drenched in it, which is a great thing if you like BBQ sauce, but for me it tak...

Bombshell's Texas The Green Beret Bacon, Guacamole, Jalapeno, Sauteed Onion, Lettuce, Tomato, & Blue Cheese Crumbles $13.95 Buckle up for a bumpy ride because there's not much going right with this burger this week. Now before I start tearing it apart, I do have to disclose that it was really busy so that MAY have something to do with parts of it, but it's hard to use that excuse to justify most of the faults this burger has. The meat itself was all around disappointing and actually caused me to not even eat the burger in it's entirety. While I get most of my burgers medium with a little pink, this burger was basically still mooing. Now like I said earlier, this could be due to how busy the kitchen was, but still it made the burger unappetizing to me. The meat also was not very juicy and didn't have any seasoning of any kind on it, making the burger have to rely on the fixings and not the meat itself. The tomato and lettuce come separate from...

Red Robin Nationwide Burnin' Love Burger Fried Jalapeno Coins, House-Made Salsa, Pepperjack Cheese, Lettuce, Tomatoes, and Chipotle Aioli on a Jalapeno-Cornmeal Kaiser Roll $12.19 Now while I REALLY REALLY do try to stay away from the big giant burger chains, it just so happened that me and my fiance were craving some Red Robin steak fries and I couldn't resist such an easy pitch being thrown to me, so here we go. Red Robin has SOOOOO many choices and A LOT of creativity. If I was grading on the creativity of their menu, they get 5 out of 5, and they are ALWAYS coming up with new stuff, but to be fair I decided to do one of their regular menu items instead of something that could be gone next week and the one I landed on was the Burnin' Love Burger. As you can tell by the lineup on this burger.....it's gonna be hot, and boy was it. The Jalapeno coins are the all-stars of this burger because they really stuff them in there so you get some on every b...

Christian's Tailgate & Bar Houston, TX Country Fried Bacon Burger 1/2 lb burger with fresh toasted bun, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, mayo mustard topped with country fried bacon & onion ring $13.00 For Labor Day, I thought I would go into Downtown Houston and try one of the many great burgers that H-Town has to offer. I originally had another place in mind, but upon finding out that it was cash only and I didn't have any cash on me, I had to go to my back up place, and here we. Starting off, their menu has a couple specialty burgers and while the Mushroom Swiss Burger was indicated to be the most popular by the bartender, I opted to go with the Country Fried Bacon Burger, because the country fried bacon seemed to be an interesting topping to try out, and while I was not disappointed, I also wasn't blown away. The big draw of this burger was the country fried bacon, which had an interesting taste. The breading was good, but it was so much brea...

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...
