Bringing a little game to your burger cravings….Bub’s Burger in Carmel, Indiana

// April 15th, 2010 // View Comments // Reviews

On a recent trip to Indiana I made sure to check out Bub’s Burger (in Carmel) which came by way of ‘recommend a burger’ here at hambur.gr. I’ve also heard the name pop up on a number of other sites and was not disappointed by what I found…

Bub’s offers their “Big Ugly”, a one pound behemoth of a burger which, if taken down in full, will land your mug shot on the wall of fame. I easily could have taken the big ugly down, *cough, but instead opted for their “Settle for Less Ugly” (quarter pound cut) of their most famous item on the menu…Elk.

This is the first time I’ve ever tried Elk in the form of a burger and I can see why it is so popular. This lean, juicy and delicious chunk of meat is a great alternative to our beloved beef burger. The meat is the real star of the show here though as I found the lettuce, tomato, onion and pickle toppings to be lackluster. In fact halfway through I just tossed it all aside so I could appreciate the wonderfully seasoned meat on its own.

I’m not ready to say that Bub’s is a destination burger, but it is damn good and if you ever find yourself in Indy I’d highly recommend you check it out…

Also, LOVED their ‘Tour de Fat’ menu (pictured) which was being offered during my trip.

"Ooh, Everbody Wants Some!"

Just because a friend sent this to me and it made my day. Maybe I’ll even settle for a Turkey burger this  week…

The Hamburguesa – Lost in Translation?

// September 16th, 2009 // View Comments // Miscellany

When traveling abroad I normally do my best to avoid my everyday eating addictions and prefer instead to partake in the local cuisine. However, on a recent trip to the culinary wasteland that Costa Rica can sometimes be, I was forced to face my demons and tore right into my single favorite food vice…the Hamburger (or Hamburguesa in this case).

In all honesty this was probably one of the worst burgers I’ve ever eaten. Nevertheless, regardless of the stale bread, hard cheese, a frozen/thin patty and cucumber (?!) it gave me that high that only burgers can (if just for a few adrenaline soaked minutes).  Proving, once again, that burgers translate in any language, Amigo.

Quality Forever.

Mr. revrev recently beat me to an Apple Pan (Los Angeles) post but I still wanted to share this photo – just because it’s one of my all-time favorite burgers and I thought this photo was awesome. (Iphone Polarize app.)

In my best Auto-Tone enhanced voice…

If my research is correct there’s a burger war out there people!  No, not in the streets of Fallujah or the glorious nation of Kazakhstan, but right here in our very own backyard (the notoriously rough burger corridors of West Los Angeles).

I just read this burger breaking news on LA Weekly’s Squid Ink which highlights The Foundry’s call for the Father’s Office’s head. Signs declaring burger war were written in blood-red ketchup and posted on the doors of both FO locations last night.

Reading over this burger on burger violence coincides perfectly with the rapper on rapper warfare I heard about just this morning on NPR. Essentially, the piece contends that new rappers to the game often go after well established rappers in an effort to claim fame.

I believe that the guy on the far right is eating a burger

Although I’ve been due for a visit for way too long – I’ve never had the Foundry burger (and as I’ve mentioned before the Father’s Office is a highly controversial burger here at Hambur.gr) but I can tell you that Mr. Greenspan (the Foundry’s owner/chef) better not be dropping any “Mission Accomplished” banners prematurely.

Love it.

p.s. I’m on a boat!
