Burgers

Well it’s about time I officially review a Utah original. Arctic Circle was the first “what is that?” fast food experience I had when I arrived in Utah and where I first fell in love with fry sauce. Sweet, tangy, delicious fry sauce. In fact, many locals agree that besides the ice cream, Arctic Circle’s fry sauce is simply the best. We’ll save that for another post for today is Arctic Circle Double Cheeseburger review day. Complimentary ice cream cones, friendly staff, amazing shake flavors and big time fun play areas aside, Arctic Circle seems to popular wherever they are (keep reading…)

If you’ve seen a Lokal’s restaurant while driving around town and wondered what it was I’m happy to report that you are not alone. After wondering myself, I decided to find out what Lokal’s was all about and if they had anything for a burger lover like myself. Although they seem to be more proud of their baked wings and sauces, they should be better known for the BOOYAH burger I devoured the other day and which I’d recommend to anyone. Let’s discuss. The BOOYAH burger is a baked half-pound patty of descent meat topped with thickly sliced honey cured (keep reading…)

Sometimes it’s important to expand your horizons and try something new. For a burger fan like myself that means trying a Lime Citrus Cod Burger, which was today’s experience at Blue Lemon. It was my first visit to the Blue Lemon in Highland, Utah which is a cool spot with fresh, flavorful menu options and a hip feel. Not originally planning on a burger today, to see the Daily Special as a Lime Citrus Cod Burger I knew it was a sign. It’s was a $10 special and was served to our table rather quickly. It’s always a good sign (keep reading…)

In the middle of Canada is a city called Winnipeg which is home to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (Canadian Football League), the Winnipeg Jets (National Hockey League) and Lake Winnipeg (pure awesomeness). Today’s post is from earlier in the month when I was in Winnipeg and went to Hillside Beach for some rest and relaxation. One day for lunch it only seemed fitting that we try the Hillside Beach Store’s burger joint and the local favorite Home Burger. What is a Home burger? It’s a nice third pound burger patty with some of their special seasoning which offered a uniquely (keep reading…)

It’s Wendy’s time. All the fuss about a new delicious burger from Wendy’s has driven me to head on over and experience the exciting and new Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger. The signs are everywhere, the commercials are going and they are putting on the full-court press to make sure the world knows they’ve got Pretzely Bacon Cheeseburger goodness to share. Let me first describe my first few bites. I went into this with know preconceived idea about what a pretzel cheeseburger should or could taste like but right away I noticed there wasn’t any of the square salt granules on top (keep reading…)

Well folks, I just had one of the best burgers of my burger eating life. It was amazing! I was in the Phoenix, Arizona area and hungry for some lunch when a co-worker recommended BLD (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner). Within a few minutes I was at BLD in Chandler and immediately spotted a potentially amazing burger opportunity known as the BLD Burger. Before I continue let me explain something that I’ve learned over the last few years of sharing about my burger adventures, when a restaurant looks cool, feels cool and has a burger with their name in the title, order it! (keep reading…)

It’s a special day folks.  I had my first Umami Burger experience today and loved every minute of it.  I’ve heard a lot about Umami and their lovely burgers, sides and atmosphere so was ecstatic to try it out.  With it also being Movember I felt like the Manly Burger was my best bet for today in addition to some sweet potato fries, skinny fries, fried pickles and a diet coke (served in a nicely chilled bottle).  Let’s discuss the Umami Burger Manly Burger, shall we? Here’s what makes a Manly Burger at Umami, beer-cheddar cheese, smoked salt-onion strings, bacon lardon (keep reading…)
