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…

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...

The Kitchen

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...

Bar Louie

Bar Louie The Woodlands, TX Bourbon BBQ Burger House-made Bourbon BBQ Sauce, White Cheddar, Cream Cheese, Applewood Smoked Bacon, Crispy Onion Strings $12.50 While I do try my hardest to avoid the national chains in order to give more recognition to the mom and pop burger places out here trying to gain the success of the chains, I have to say, I was pretty blown off my feet by Bar Louie's Bourbon BBQ Burger. (Say that 5 times fast) The most interesting thing about this burger (and one thing I sadly had to dock them a little bit for) was the cream cheese. Cream Cheese on a burger tasted VERY good, I liked it for the first few bites, but then I kept hitting secret pockets of Cream Cheese that in some bites, that was all I was tasting. In moderation, this is an amazing topping to have on a BBQ burger. As we flip to the other cheese on the burger, we had white cheddar. White Cheddar is an excellent choice for a BBQ flavored burger, and while it was melted on to the...
