Burgers

As many burger loves know, Fuddruckers is pretty darn good.  It’s one of my favorite burger restaurants and the fries are delicious.  The meat quality is always good and the fact that the toppings are all self-serve, how can you go wrong.  This trip was to the Fuddruckers in Orem, Utah on University Avenue.  Their burger of the day was a grass fed Elk Burger and I just had to try it. I’ve had elk roast, elk steak and elk burgers before and although gamey (as all wide animal meat is) it’s always good.  The Fuddruckers Elk Burger was phenomenol.  (keep reading…)

So with all the burgers I’ve been eating lately (gladly of course) I decided today to try an old favorite, the McDonalds Big Mac.  I’ll admit, this used to be my favorite meal on earth, but since it’s been years since I’ve eaten anything at McDonalds that wasn’t on their Value Menu, I was really looking forward to having a Big Mac. As always, the service was fast, the burger was delivered and the fries were crispy for the first 10 minutes.  Overall the Big Mac is still one of my favorite “Fast Food Burgers” because of the secret sauce (keep reading…)

Baseball Parks are known for great hot dogs, nachos and beer but their hamburgers aren’t talked about much because hamburgers take a special touch and don’t mass produce as easily as a hot dog.  While checking some sports news on Yahoo last night I came across the following burger insight and picture: A minor league baseball team in Michigan came up with this and apparently no one has eaten the whole thing yet.  This burger consists of the following ingredients: 1.67 pounds (rounded up) of grilled ground beef, topped with  nacho cheese, chili, salsa, Fritos (despite what’s in the photo), tomato and lettuce served (keep reading…)

Rumbi Island Grill’s Beach Burger So this was my second trip to Rumbi Island Grill after a surprisingly tasty visit a few months ago to experience their Kahuna Burger.  The Beach Burger is a more traditional burger which includes: USDA choice ground beef, cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, and homemade thousand island dressing.  The dressing is a nice touch and because they are all about quality the beef was pretty good as well.  It’s a pretty good burger but didn’t stand out in any way, shape or form.  Because it didn’t stand out, I give it an Average rating and (keep reading…)

Heber Utah is home of the Heber Creeper Railroad and Dairy Keen, a fun burger and shake place along Heber’s main street.  To get to Heber you need to head up Provo Canyon past Sundance, Deer Creek Reservoir and Midway.  Dairy Keen is a fun place with a toy train that runs along the ceiling rairoad tracks of the restaurant.  Their most famous burger is the “Train Burger” but I decided to save it for next time, wanting to instead try their Super Cheese Burger. The restaurant was clean and had the hometown feel.  The ladies behind the counter were (keep reading…)

If you like bacon and burgers than the Salt City Burger Co.’s Bacon Burger just might be up your alley.  The unique aspect that Salt City Burger Company brings to this bacon burger is the ground in bacon vs. the bacon strips on top that is typical of any bacon burger.  The thing I liked most about this burger was the hint of bacon rather than the “in-your-face” bacon.  The meat quality was fantastic and it took less than 5 minutes from ordering to having my fresh fries and burger….and this is a sit down restaurant….at lunch time! The fries were also (keep reading…)

With their delicious homemade bread, Little Acorn is a personal favorite of mine.  It’s not a traditional burger place and even their Deluxe Burger Combo isn’t like anyone elses.  Served on top of your french fries the Deluxe Burger (please request the homemade bread whenever you order from Little Acorn) is good.  Little Acorn isn’t known for the quantity of meat or even the quality of the meat, they are known for the delicious bread that it comes in.  I’ve also really grown to appreciate the quiet atmosphere and made to order style of Little Acorn in Spanish Fork. This (keep reading…)

Burger Supreme has long sat perched on the corner of one of the wackiest intersections in Provo, emitting its tantalizing odors to all passersby.  Back in the day, this burger joint was a popular feeding trough for any and all BYU students.  Last week, Burger Voice decided to put it to the test to see if this old school perch could hold its own against some of the new and trendy burger barns.  Nostalgia aside, this is a burger that starts strong, but ends heavy. I went with the Double Bacon Cheese, which I’ve heard endearingly referred to as ‘Heart Attack in a Sack.”  The point of this burger is not (keep reading…)

If you enjoy fancy meals and live anywhere near Orem then you’ve probably been to Chef’s Table.  But did you realize that Chef’s Table now offers an Avacado and Bacon Hamburger on their lunch menu.  Priced at roughly $12 and served with some pretty good fries this is a good quality burger.  I tried this first experience without any ketchup or mustard and had it cooked medium/well.  For future reference I’ll say that I recommend adding ketchup and mustard as well as cooking it pure medium because the /well aspect of the meat dried it out a little.  Special Note: I (keep reading…)
