A Great Cheddar Cheezy Burger: Chris Madrid’s- San Antonio, TX

Chris Madrid'sOn our first visit to San Antonio back in 2017, I hoped to try a burger at Chris Madrid’s.

After checking out The Alamo and some other sites, we headed over to the restaurant only to find it that it was closed due to a fire. The restaurant reopened and we weren’t going to miss the opportunity to stop by on our recent trip this year. Continue reading A Great Cheddar Cheezy Burger: Chris Madrid’s- San Antonio, TX

Food Review: Delicious Greasy Cheeseburgers From Dyer’s In Memphis!

Dyer'sAt the end of 2021, we headed to Memphis over winter break. Our list of things to do and eat was pretty long but there was one place I had to give a try.

Food Review: The Burger & Wings From Teddy’s Bar & Grill- Brooklyn, NY

Teddy's Bar & GrillI’d place burgers at this point as my second favorite food, just behind pizza.

Over the years, I’ve tried burgers at some of the top places in New York City. I’ve also sought out burgers from some of the oldest and most classic bars and restaurants in the area.

One of my favorite burgers in the country is served at Peter Luger Steakhouse open since 1887. Another excellent burger can be had at Keen’s Steakhouse which opened in 1885. While I love Old Town Bar (open since 1892), we weren’t big fans of their cheeseburger. Continue reading Food Review: The Burger & Wings From Teddy’s Bar & Grill- Brooklyn, NY

Awesome NYC Seasonal Burger & Ice Cream Stand Mister Dips Expanding

Mister DipsIn late 2016 I wrote a review of the seasonal burger and ice cream stand Mister Dips.

The stand is actually an Airstream trailer located at the William Vale Hotel (in Vale Park) in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Mister Dips was created by restaurateur Andrew Carmellini, famous for restaurants like The Dutch and Lafayette. Both of those restaurants serve incredible burgers although they’re a bit pricer than what you’ll find at Vale Park!

Disappointing Bacon Cheeseburger From The Little Owl- Once Considered Best In World

the little owlFor quite some time, I’d wanted to dine at The Little Owl to try out their Bacon Cheeseburger.

Back in 2009, The Guardian named it the best hamburger in the world. The Little Owl is still considered one of the best burgers as it came in #11 on The 101 Best Burgers In America for 2018 from The Daily Meal.

On a recent visit to Manhattan, we decided to head over to The Little Owl to see what all of the fuss was about. Continue reading Disappointing Bacon Cheeseburger From The Little Owl- Once Considered Best In World
