M.O.A.B. Mother of All burgers

Marinated in garlic powder and Worcestershire sauce for alot of flavor,  bacon, American cheese and alot of grease make for a mouthful of yum. Crispy fries top it off. Every time I have had this burger, the name alone makes me giggle. If you do not like cigarette smoke this bar is definitely not the place for you. It is a sports bar so there are usually a good number of smokers around you.

I was supposed to be meeting a bunch of people for dinner here and either I couldn't find them or no one else showed up. It wasn't a wasted evening though because I got to try a Metro martini from the $5 special section. Pinnacle citrus vodka, triple sec, lemon juice and grapefruit juice mixed together for a really fresh fruity taste. The burger had lots of option so I went with the Certified Angus beef that had chuck & brisket mixed together. It had a roasted red pepper on it, pesto, and pepper jack cheese. I give them big bonus points for the sweet potato fries. Maybe it was the second Metro martini that made me appreciate it, especially since when I went to use the bathroom i was stumped.  The bathrooms are hidden behind a heavy metal beaded curtain but that was the easy part. I stood inside the curtain looking at 2 glass doors lit from within but not seeing any indication of which was which. I was about to just give it a go thinking they were unisex bathrooms like on Ally McBeal when I finally spotted two small wooden tiles labeled M and W that saved me from stumbling into the wrong bathroom.

No matter how good this burger might have been it was bound to be a disappointment because I had looked forward through an entire 10 mile hike to a Ranger Burger from Four Winds Cafe and then discovered when I pulled up out front that they were not open on Sundays. We ended up at this restaurant at the recommendation of someone local. The burger is slathered in BBQ sauce and topped with cheddar cheese and bacon. It was a decent burger but all I could think of was how delicious the Ranger burger would have been. Big steak fries were a good carb topoff from an  exhausting day of heavy duty hiking.

How could I resist anything called a Flamethrower? Especially when I could get it with sweet potato fries! Crispy fried jalapenos, pepper jack cheese,
3-Mile Island sauce and chipotle mayonnaise to top it off. Of course, after drinking beer for 4 hours at the Beer Carnival anything would taste great. It was tasty and I think I enjoyed it. I do know I needed 3 glasses of water when eating it to put out the fire in my throat.

I was hoping to find a delicious burger and some type of really fresh bun. Instead I got a veggie and grain patty topped with feta cheese, red onions, smoky jalapeno sauce, lettuce, and tomato. It wasn't very spicy and definitely wasn't very burger tasting. I think I will stick with the biscuits here instead of anything labeled burger in a veggie restaurant.

Black Angus burger with bacon, sauteed mushrooms and blue cheese crumbles. Sweet potato fries can never go wrong. I also had a yummy shake but the burger itself wasn't as tasty as I had hoped. You would think with all that freshness & tasty things on it, it would be really delicious but it was just ok. I definitely wouldn't go out of my way to eat there but it is definitely better than a fast food place.

A very disappointing burger from a crowded sports bar. This burger had very little flavor although the onion rings were good. It's hard to mess up batter & grease. I was annoyed that jalapenos were extra since i was already paying extra for onion rings. Cest la vie. At least I know a few answers at trivia.
