PKI Jizzman Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 I'll give this thread a little love. Heading back to Minneapolis this weekend and a must stop is any of the http://redcowmn.com/ locations. The best burger I've had (21 day dry aged blend). What do you want? Certified Angus Beef? Got it. 21 day dry aged blend? Got it. Bison? Got it. Local grass fed? Got it. Turkey? Ahi Tuna? Got 'em. http://redcowmn.com/50th-street-menu-1/
Nrthwnd Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 ^ Mmmmmm, the menu looks great! Any chance you could airmail one or two of 'em this way?
Philrad71 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 The Caramel Bacon Puffcorn sounds really interesting too. In terms of the burgers, I would likely try the Barcelona or the Manhattan. Make sure to grab a couple photos to share, Zach!
Nrthwnd Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 I would like the Blended and French Onion Burgers, please and thankyou.
CaptainUnknown Posted January 13, 2018 Posted January 13, 2018 The Fuddrucker's Hangover Burger With a pile of cheddar sauce for dunking the burger!
ytterbiumanalyst Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 Yeah, I wouldn't recommend Fuddrucker's, ever. I'm pretty sure the last time I went there was on a 5th grade field trip. Yet again, Idiocracy had it right:
Nrthwnd Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 ^It isn't up here in Vancouver (pretty sure), so I'm not too worried about accidentally walking into one, lol. Old photo from the net ~ I'm still curious what the Redneck Attitude Burger, had in it.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 I'm still curious what the Redneck Attitude Burger, had in it. No idea; like I say, it's been over 20 years since I darkened their door. I am very familiar with redneck attitude, living in the Ozarks, so my guess is that it comes with a side of racism.
Philrad71 Posted January 16, 2018 Posted January 16, 2018 ^ In all seriousness, I am not sure about those burgers in Bill's photo. I might try the ramen noodle burger or the mac and cheese burger, but the rest sound nasty as hell. I have only eaten at a Fuddrucker's once and to be honest, the only thing that I remembered was that they were like fast food, but they had beer. That's the only thing I remember, so the burger that I had must have been pretty underwhelming.

Philrad71 Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 Had a really great burger at a local business this past weekend. It was called The Town Drunk burger with loads of cheese, onions and a whiskey based glaze/sauce. The restaurant is called The Springs as it is located in a small town called Maple Springs. The restaurant is actually right across the street from my hometown amusement park - Midway State Park! As you can imagine, this wasn't a burger that you could just pick up and eat! Look at all that cheese!
Nrthwnd Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 ^ Mmmmm looks nice and messy, Phil. But - from my view, the fries don't look "fried" enough. Not looking "crispy." Were they okay, too? Just curious.
Philrad71 Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 ^ They actually were done just right for steak fries, Bill. Although I am not a huge fan of steak fries, I managed to get through the burger and about close to half of the fries before "food won". I used some of that mayo so they tasted more like Belgian-style fries!
Nrthwnd Posted January 24, 2018 Posted January 24, 2018 ^ Ah, steak fries. Good to know. Nasu Highland Park ~ TPR 2011 Japan Tour.

Philrad71 Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 Lobster on a burger....interesting. Are you going to try it, Bill??
Nrthwnd Posted February 18, 2018 Posted February 18, 2018 ^ For twenty bucks? Probably not. And it's only available at one of the Veras, on the other side of town. A bit of a drive for it. But I thought it pretty random, that for the "Year of The Dog" they offer a lobster burger. Looked interesting.
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Well, at $20 it's less than actual surf and turf, for sort of the same thing. Also, today that's $15.93 in real dollars.
Nrthwnd Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 ^ Don't forget we tax this stuff, too! What was $20 Cdn, could end up being $25 Cdn. By the way, here's the link to Vera's... http://www.verasburgershack.com/
ytterbiumanalyst Posted February 19, 2018 Posted February 19, 2018 Looks good, and they have lamb! And yeah, once you get done with tax and tip it's about $20 USD, and that's a lot for a burger. The good places end up around $13-15 usually though, so not that much more than normal.
Nrthwnd Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Here's a non-beef example of Vera's current $13.50 (Cdn) specials. I wouldn't do Frank's Red Hot sauce, but I loves my blue cheese dressing!
DoinItForTheFame Posted February 21, 2018 Posted February 21, 2018 Having been trying to stick to our diet this thread makes me slightly sad... It's like "OOOOOOOOOOHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I want that so bad!!" And my love handles are like "Boy you best don't." The burger struggle is real today.
Nrthwnd Posted February 22, 2018 Posted February 22, 2018 ^ Sorry it became so................................tempting, here. I love the roof sculpture, and wish it was closer to the ground, to see it better! Future NEW Johnny Rockets, USH City Walk. Photo c/o Dusty Sage, thank you! (o:
Philrad71 Posted February 24, 2018 Posted February 24, 2018 We normally try to avoid chain restaurants, but Michael's daughter and her family bought us a $50 Applebees gift card for Christmas so we went there last night for dinner. They had been advertising $7.99 burgers and $1 Bahama Mama's in attempt to to boom reeling sales in recent years, so I was somewhat excited to check out one of the burgers. I had the whiskey bacon burger which is advertised as "Caramelized onions and bacon seared into an all-beef patty and topped with pepper jack cheese, crispy onions, bacon and a Fireball Whisky-infused steak sauce." I came away pretty underwhelmed, really. Yes, there was plenty of crunchy bacon, but I could not taste the pepper jack cheese and the steak sauce tasted pretty much like barbeque sauce. The burger was actually dry and overcooked despite ordering it "pink" (they don't offer rare, medium rare or medium). I'll stick with my diners, dives and Yelp reviews to quell my burger fix from now on. This was just too "meh" for me and stresses why we avoid chain restaurants and fast food joints. Looks great on the menu, but tasted very underwhelming and super SALTY. I was so underwhelmed that I didn't even bother taking a picture of mine to compare it to this one from their website. lol
