Guinness glazed bacon burger – Bennigan’s

Guinness glazed bacon burger - Bennigan's
Guinness stout glaze, bacon, cheddar cheese, crispy fried onions, lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle. Served with homestyle fries. $14
Bennigan’s, Santa Clara CA

This burger was large, messy, and pretty tasty! I enjoyed the Guinness stout glazed and was happy that it came with an extra side of it. I thought the fried onions were too greasy and soggy, but they tasted decent enough. The thick cut fries were also yummy. I thought the patty was overcooked though and it was on the dry side.

The Frenchie burger – DB Brasserie

The Frenchie burger - DB Brasserie
8 oz Angus beef, morbier cheese, dijon mustard, pork belly tomato-onion compote, arugula, black pepper bun. Happy hour $15
DB Brasserie, Las Vegas NV

This burger was good, but maybe there was too much going on for me to fully enjoy it. The patty was good though – it was juicy and had a nice texture. But between the rich cheese and rich pork belly compote, this burger quickly became too rich pretty quickly. I still love this place though!

Hickory burger – Radish

Hickory burger - Radish
Niman Ranch beef, white cheddar, caramelized onions, bacon, garlic aioli, grain mustard and house-made bbq sauce. Served with salad and side of pickled veggies. $13
Radish, San Francisco CA

Mmm, this burger looked great and tasted equally great. The beef was thick and juicy and the bacon and caramelized onions gave it a nice and smoky flavor. The side salad was also very refreshing and perfectly dressed.

Patty ground with pastrami, Tillamook cheddar, Russian dressing, lettuce, onions, and relish on a sesame seed bun. $11
Wise Sons Jewish Delicatessen, San Francisco CA

This burger was unexpectedly delicious coming from a Jewish deli! The patty with pastrami was different and tasty, and all the ingredients just worked so well together. Mmm…

Mini cheeseburger with fried egg – Super Duper Burgers

Mini cheeseburger with fried egg - Super Duper Burgers
One 4 ounce patty, ground daily all natural Niman Ranch beef. “Everything on it” with lettuce, tomato, red onions, Super sauce, and cheese. $7.50
Super Duper Burgers, San Francisco CA

Omg, this burger was amazing! I think the fried egg totally put it over the top. It was messy, oozy, gooey, and perfect. Definitely a guilty treat for lunch!

House beer-cheddar, bacon lardons, smoked-salt onion strings, Umami house ketchup, mustard spread. $12
Umami Burger, Las Vegas NV

Manly burger - Umami Burger
I was a bit disappoint by this burger after all the hype about this burger brand. Mostly, I didn’t like the bun. But the burger was surprisingly tame tasting despite the fact that it’s called the “Manly”. I’ve had much manlier burgers elsewhere with more flavor.

Smashfries tossed in Italian olive oil, rosemary and garlic. $1.99
Smashburger, Glendale AZ

This burger was pretty good. It was flavorful and the fresh jalapeños gave it a little kick. The fries were really great. I loved that they were cut really thin and they weren’t greasy either.

Bisou burger – Bisou

Bisou burger - Bisou
Choron sauce, butter lettuce, tomato, red onion, applewood bacon, morbier cheese. Served with French fries. $18
Bisou, San Francisco CA

This burger had really good flavors, but the patty was a little overdone. This restaurant is a madhouse during brunch so the service can easily get shoddy (and it did). This definitely wasn’t a relaxing brunch.
