National Burger Day is Sunday, May 28. I’ve created a list of nine of my favorite burgers in Houston and one recipe. Not being a super fancy chick, I tend to look for a classic and simple burger. Where the protein (meat or veggie) is the star. Though I do love a nice aioli and/or special sauce. My Top Ten list also includes one of my favorite recipes for the perfect #meatlessmonday burger.
Hope you enjoy National Burger Day!
La Bandita Burger: HopDoddy (Rice Village)
VEGGIE BURGERS
La Bandita Burger – HopDoddy (Rice Village)
Rice Village’s newest burger joint HopDoddy has a fantastic veggie burger, called the “La Bandita.” Not only is it delicious, but it’s pinkish hue is quite alluring. There are other scrumptious items on the menu like their topped fries, soups and shakes. The patio at Hopdoddy is one of the best in the village.
Lentil, Black bean and Edamame Burger – #TastyBits Recipe
As you may (or may not) know. I cook a little bit. Like, a really small amount of the food you will see on Gristle & Gossip is made by my hands. #TastyBits is where you will find the few personal recipes I’ve posted. My Lentil, Black Bean and Edamame burger is one of my favorites! A simple mix of legumes and vegetables is all you need to make a classic and guiltless burger.
Fried Green Tomato BLT – Urban Eats
The menu at Urban Eats has all my favorite things. The Fried Green Tomato BLT is usually my got to. I pair it with the “Not So Standard” bistro pommes frites. My love for this sandwich is based on four very important things: the warm pretzel roll, tart fried green tomato, the cumin chili aioli & peach pepper jam.
BEEF BURGERS
Petrol Pub Burger – Petrol Station
Though I try not to consume much beef, those damn burgers at Petrol are always calling my name. “Cash me ousside” chomping down on their classic “Petrol Pub Burger,” with a side of garlic-parmesan fries, sipping on something dark and local.
Bison Burger – Mia’s Table
Looking for a family-friendly burger joint? Then I suggest Mia’s Table. Their menu offers a variety of items like burgers, bbq, salads and shakes. Tucked away on Argonne St. in Upper Kirby, Mia’s sizable patio is great for large groups. Their frozen peach sangria is worth a twirl or two.
Tex-Mex Fajita Burger – Laurenzo’s Restaurant
Chef Domenic Laurenzo’s Tex-Mex Fajita Burger should definitely be added to your National Burger Day list! On National Cheeseburger Day last year, Domenic invited some media out to taste his hearty burger made with 1/2 lb ground fajita beef. This juicy deluxe burger comes topped with caramelized onions, poblano peppers, asadero cheese, avocado and chipotle mayo.
MORE BURGERS
Voo Doo Mushroom Burger – Grub Burger Bar
Due to the fact that I’ve tried all the burgers at Grub Burger Bar in CityCENTRE, you can trust me when I say the Voo Doo Mushroom Burger is where it’s at. The combination of Absinthe sautéed mushrooms, Swiss cheese & Tabasco mayo make for the perfect bite.
The Bovine Burger – Bovine & Barley
Downtown’s go-to gastro pub, Bovine & Barley has a burger that is certain to please. Their Bovine Burger is a classic mix of 1/2 lb. of Certified Angus Beef, cheddar cheese and fried red onions strings. You can add other stuff (like bacon) but it’s sooo good when left alone. Side note: They also serve a great brunch!
Giveback* – Fielding’s Wood Grill
Should you happen to celebrate National Burger Day in The Woodlands YOU MUST visit Fielding’s Wood Grill. The best burger choice on the menu is The Giveback*, because it’s a mind blowing trio of sliders. Here guests can try three of their best burgers (IMO). Miniature versions of the Wood Grill, Smoke, and Texas blues burgers.
Wood Grill* – Angus patty, house mayo, lettuce, grilled onions, tomato, b&b pickles, milk bun
Smoke* – Angus patty, grilled bacon, aged Italian provolone, oven-dried tomatoes, grilled onions, fried egg, truffle bacon mustard, lettuce, milk bun
Texas blues* – Angus patty, grilled bacon, Point Reyes blue cheese, pickled red onions, fig jam, jalapeños, lettuce, wheat bun
The Classic Cheeseburger – Jerry Built Homegrown Burgers
Jerry Built Homegrown Burgers is known for offering a “seasonal burger” in addition to their Angus Beef, Chicken and Portobello burgers. The Classic Cheeseburger is usually my choice though. It’s juicy and basic, just like me. Pair it with one of their house-made lemonades for a real mouth party. They’re celebrating with BOGO burgers all day!!
