1/3 Pound Burger

Black Angus Beef, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickle, & Onion on Jalapeno Bun

$5.99

Now while I only gave this burger 3 stars, it is purely for the fact that this establishment doesn't dabble in burgers of creativity, striving to only provide the best basic burgers that they can, and honestly, they do it pretty well.
I will skip the toppings as they only have the basic toppings that you can get everywhere and will go straight to my favorite part of the burger, the delicious bun. Now I have had a lot of jalapeno buns since starting this blog, but this one may have been my favorite. It was incredibly flavorful, soft, and was so big that even thought I only got a 1/3 pound burger, I was pretty full after eating. This place serves a variety of sandwiches along with their burgers, and I think that the jalapeno bun would be great for every single one.
The meat was so so. When I took it out of the wrapper, it did start dripping profusely, so I thought this would be a very juicy burger, but when I took a bite, it seemed that all the juiciness had been extracted from it. The patty itself seemed a little on the charred side and was a little tough to bite through which was kind of a let down for me. I'm choosing to believe that maybe this was just a one time mistake and not a regular thing (as I saw a couple other burgers on other customer's plates that didn't look as cooked as mine).
The size of the burger (which of course you can control) was pretty decent for the price that I paid. Like I said, I got a 1/3 and I was full after eating, but some of you more hungry followers can opt for the 1/2.

VERDICT: 3 out of 5 Stars.

And so the Chase continues…

Southwell's Hamburger Grill

Southwell's Hamburger Grill Houston, TX Bacon Cheeseburger Mayo, Mustard, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, and Onions with American Cheese and Bacon. $6.40 For this week's burger trip, I decided to try out Southwell's Hamburger Grill in Houston, TX. Now I have lived in Houston my whole life and I have never heard about his place (despite it having 4 locations in the Houston area) until I looked through a burger suggestion post on Facebook, and frankly, I probably could have gone the rest of my life without hearing about it. Now before anyone jumps to any super negative conclusions, the burger wasn't "bad". It just was not what I was looking for. The meat was a pretty good size and was pretty juicy but didn't really have any seasoning, the bun seemed to be a typical hamburger bun out of a package, and the cheese seemed to be just a regular old slice of American cheese thrown on at the last parts of the grilling process. I didn't like how...

Bernie's Burger Bus

Bernie's Burger Bus Bellaire, TX Hot Cheeto Burger 2 3 oz Patties, Bacon, American Cheese, Tabasco Infused Onion Strips on top of Spicy Mac n Cheese Encrusted in Flaming Hot Cheetos with Homemade Hot Sauce $9.99 If you happen to go to Bernie's Burger Bus, the first thing you need to do is ask about their "secret" menu. That's where you will find this bad boy. For some reason, left off the regular menu, even though it could easily be called "The Hot Teacher", the server told me that this was at one point a limited time item, that got such popularity they still serve it. To start off, this burger definitely deserves a 5 for it's creativity. In lieu of buns, they instead grind up hot cheetos into a coat that they form around mac and cheese and voila, you have 2 Hot Cheeto patties with Mac n Cheese in them. That however, does seem to be a bit of the issue for them, the "buns" themselves seem to overtake the whole burger and most b...

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...
