Lucky's Burgers and Brews

Lucky's Burgers and Brews
The Chihuahua
****

I learned many important lessons tonight at Lucky's. #1 always check your camera to make sure you charged the batteries so you don't have to use your cell phone to try to capture the burger's essence.  #2  it's probably not a good idea to try a restaurant out for the first time on the night they are having a food challenge. #3 & most important Do not stand too close to the food challenge or you might get an up close look at the bucket being used. The challenge burger, the Grim Reaper, was a  most impressive burger. 4 lbs of hamburger, 1 lb of bacon, 3 fried eggs, 6 slices of cheese, onion rings and a giant bun. The cheesy tots as a side were just the nail in the coffin. No one was able to finish but a few made impressive progress. It definitely made my 7 oz burger pale in comparison. I must say the sweet potato fries were some of the best I have ever had. Very tasty, crisp and flavorful. The burger was tasty but not as spicy as I expected considering it had chopped green chilis, pepper jack cheese, and chipotle mayonnaise. Maybe it was the homemade guacamole that cooled it down. Either that or the 2 hour wait in the stifling heat would make anything seem cool in comparison. I look forward to trying out the restaurant again when they aren't so busy.
