Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks
The Woodlands, TX
Avocado Smash Burger
Swiss, House Made Avocado Smash, Red Onions, Tomato, Arugula, Sun Dried Tomato Mayo
$10.49


This week I went to Twin Peaks whose motto is "Eats, Drinks, Scenic Views." and while I can't speak to the last two things of the motto, I can assure everyone who reads this blog, they got the Eats covered.
To start with, Twin Peaks uses an egg bun which honestly is my favorite type of bun and it was so good. I probably could have done with more (and we'll get to that later) but it was great. Working out way down we get to the avocado smash which is a mixture of avocado, bacon, and other various ingredients but even without completely dissecting it, it was incredible.the swiss cheese was basic swiss cheese but it was a welcome ingredient to add the cheese factor to the burger. Red Onions & Tomatoes are basic things you would find on the burger so there's nothing really to deduct or add points there (though it they were caramelized onions, I would always add points for that). Arugula was an interesting choice instead of lettuce, but due to the size of the burger, a huge piece of lettuce would probably been too much of the burger. The last ingredient we have is the Sun Dried Tomato Mayo, which I was pleasantly surprised by. I usually am a staunch opponent of mayo in general, but the flavor of this tomato mayo was actually very good.
The meat itself was very juicy with grease which as we all know is my thing, but there didn't seem to be a noticeable amount of seasoning, though I might have sensed some. Overall, I did enjoy the meat they have here.
The last thing about this burger is it is rather small for being an almost $11 burger, but it was worth it. One warning I would have to give before eating this burger is that it must be eaten fast. The mayo and the grease from the burger make the bread soggy very quickly and near the end of the burger it was falling apart, so I don't know if that would be fixed by a bigger bun or what, but it's not the end of the world.




VERDICT: 4 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
