Dear Burger Boy,

BLT burger… is the t#ts! Top notch burger joint – located on 6th ave btwn 11th & 12th. Jerry crushed a Great Hills Blue Burger (7oz. Grilled CAB Burger, Great Hills Blue Cheese, Balsamic Caramelized Onion, Mushrooms)- also I decided throw some bacon on top of that, which was a good decision. Side of sweet potato fries was a no brainer.  Washed down with some Magic Hat No 9 (on tap).

Only negative was they didn’t have A1 Sauce (or any steak sauce for that matter)- which I think is a must for a Bacon Blue Cheese burger.

Dear Burger Boy,

Last night the burger boy sent some troops to the find what may be the best burgers east of the… East river!  The only thing more surprising then this Bison Burger tasting amazing,was the fact that Mark Sanchez made it through a whole game without a pick!  Queens has some great burger joints, but Yermans Pub in Glendale is among the top competitors in this famous Boro.

Dear Burger Boy,

The burger was cooked to perfection (obvi med-rare) and the meat was very flavorful (definitely the best part–which is what I look for in a “great burger”.) It was their Prrime DF burger; meat marinated, seaoned with pepper, topped with melted cheddar, Bermuda onion, fresh tomato, and some lettuce and seasoning. It was the perfect amount of food and left me wanting nothing else but a nap on the couch. 8 out of 10 burgers.

Aaaaaand the waitress was a standard old fashioned Del Friscos money-grubbing six.

-Barrington Burger & Shwarma Head

Thanks Fellas…pretty spot on there with the run down.  Been there a few times and you pretty much hit the nail on the head.  I am assuming you guys hit the “Corporate Lunch” which is one of the best deals going out there.  The truffle chips are a slam dunk along with the beef tips & mashed tators if you’re ever looking to mix it up a bit. But hey, what grown man can hold back on a burger???  – BB

Baby-H-Burger Tackling his prey

Dear BurgerBoy,

BareBack Burgers

Dear Burger Boy,

I decided to hit the ball out of the park on this trip to Fleming’s and knock the cover off of my credit card.  Tampa is known for rows and rows of fastfood chains from Sonic to TGI Friday’s but from time to time one needs to get out off the strip and  out of strip clubs (also a cornerstone of the greater Tampa area).

I posted up at the Winebar and was greeted by two delightful bartenders.  I said ladies, I am batting clean up tonight and going for the long ball with the Fleming’s Prime Burger.  This is an MVP of all burgers consisting of black angus prime beef, cheddar cheese, onion rings and bernaise sauce on the freshest and chewiest brioches of all.  Sweeter and smoother than Scott Brosius in October.

This was a difficult burger to tackle however I got it down with a suicide squeeze and manage to clear the plate like a champ.

Shlongoria, good looking out and nice to know you leave it all out on the field and not on your plate.

So I woke up on Sunday morning and decided to get my leaf peep on.  Loaded up the car with the GF and the dog and headed for the woods.  By woods, I mean a cul de sac in Simsbury CT that happens to also have a hiking trail attached to it.  After a few hours of soaking up some of the best scenery that central CT has to offer, folks were getting hungry.  All morning I was planning on eating a burger and taking pictures of it.  Plenty of options existed, but I could only think of one that could top the AnusBurger picture.  Although, they have pizza in their name, Joe’s Pizza in Canton, CT makes a damn fine cheeseburger.  8.50 for a 1/2 pounder is always a decent value, however, I was a little irked by the “add $1.50 for fries” clause that the menu had, but figured screw it, this is for the BurgerBoy . Plus, I was really hungry.  For toppings, I decided to keep it pretty simple.  Went with grilled peppers and onions.  I’ve ruined enough burgers at 5guys due to too many toppings, that I have finally learned that just because they offer it, doesn’t mean you have to order it.  Joe’s Pizza has a large selection of toppings (think 5Guys but a little more gourmet) and about 7 beers on tap, including Long Trail Double Bag and Stone Mill Pale Ale (marketed as a super-heady organic brew that is actually made by Anheuser Busch).  Next time you venture to the Farmington Valley for some antiquing, check Joe’s out.  Also, if any of your friends or aquaintances are vegetarians, Joe’s supposedly makes a good veggie pizza.  I’ve never had it, because veggie pizzas are for idiots, but they have it if you need it. As the pictures can attest, I thoroughly dominated the burger while being mocked by the lady friend for taking pictures of my food. “Sorry babe, this one’s for the internet”.
