FORKING BEST BURGERS in Metro Phoenix AZ****WITH UPDATE

This is a collection of the FORKING BEST BURGERS that I’ve tasted in Metro Phoenix Arizona. I do note that I haven’t been to every restaurant in Metro Phoenix but I have been to many restaurants so chances are that a few other great ones are out there…..The best burger meat is always fresh ground in house. So the one thing that all the burgers have in common is that they all are ground in house. The one below is ground in house at a sister-restaurant across the street so that still counts.

Ingo’s Tasty Food – (I go to the original Phoenix location) Grinds grass fed beef. They also bake their own just right rolls. My first beef burger here was a basic burger with lettuce, tomato, Russian dressing. They do offer a a few varieties of burgers. The menu also does change slightly at times.

Zinburger fresh grinds TWICE a day certified Angus beef and serves them as six and a half ounce patties. The Bruce Lee Burger (Asian slaw, sriracha mayo, jalapeños, avocado and more) was a past winner of a burger battle held in Phoenix.

The ground in house Prime Beef burger from The Bourbon Cellar in Scottsdale

The Bourbon Cellar Sports Bar and Grill offers a variety of gourmet ground in house burgers. I can’t get past the ground in house PRIME Filet burger that is served on an eggy apple cider bun. It is usually topped with a wasabi deviled egg. (I think they forgot on my last visit?) But it really is an amazing burger.

The A.G. Burger from the Arrowhead Grill is an 8oz U.S.D.A. PRIME tenderloin tips ground in house patty topped with a slice of prime rib, crispy onions, creamy horseradish sauce and cheese. It’s the largest of all the burgers. It’s also FORKING AMAZING. I’m NOT a small eater but for me this was MORE than two meals.

The burgers from Then Burger are ground in house elevated style burgers. The beef burger patties are a blend of short rib, SIRLOIN, and chuck. This Kenji Burger was OFF THE CHARTS FORKING AMAZING. It was enhanced with teriyaki, OH SO Flavorful caramelized onions, arugula, yuzu aioli and red leicester cheese (on side to my request) It REALLY was so FORKING FANTABULOUS that I don’t know if I can ever go on to try their other burgers.*********UPDATE Then burgers are no longer a blend of short rib, sirloin, and chuck. They are all chuck and do cook up different and taste different. They also discontinued the Kenji Burger. I tried a marrow and mushroom burger.

The burger patty came out dry like a hockey puck. I had to send it back because it a $36. burger. Unfortunately the 2nd one also came out very dry and over cooked.

Momofuku STYLE Brussels Sprouts with Fish Sauce Vinaigrette & Shichimi Togarashi Popcorn Recipe

Leave a reply

My local supermarket had Bussels Sprouts on sale so I wanted to make Brussels Sprouts. I did a search on the computer for best Brussels Sprouts Recipe. One that was on the top of someone’s list was Momofuku Brussels Sprouts. I looked it up and found three slightly different versions…..So I’m not entirely sure what is closest to the original recipe but I can say for sure that it is Brussels Sprouts maybe pan fried and finished in the oven with a “to Taste” fish sauce vinaigrette. I think? The original recipe might be topped with seasoned Rice Krispies. I did mine to taste with ingredients that I had around the house. I also don’t buy boxed cereal so I thought up seasoned pop corn would be closest to cereal of what I had around the house. I think one crucial part of the recipe that differs the most is the amount of fish sauce to use. I imagine that every brand has a different amount of salt in it. If I used as much as one of the recipes I read I wouldn’t be able to eat these Brussels Sprouts because they would have turned out too salty.I used Red Boat Fish Sauce….It’s suppose to be the best one and it’s only made from anchovies and sea salt. The other crucial part of the recipe also is the size of brussels sprouts that you are using because small ones require a different amount of cooking than large ones………..This recipe makes around 8 side servings. Anyway this is a very easy and fairly quick recipe to prepare. Oh and I forgot to mention that this really came out FORKING Great!

Ingredients for around 8 side servings

3 lbs brussels sprouts – cleaned, trimmed, cut in half

3 Tablespoons canola oil

4 Tablespoons fish sauce (or to taste – I used Red Boat Brand Fish Sauce)

4 Tablespoons water

2 Tablespoons rice vinegar

1/2 lime – just the fresh squeezed juice

4 Tablespoons sugar

1/2 teaspoon granulated garlic

1 red chili (or to taste…you might want more or less) – minced

1/4 cup popcorn kernels

a couple squirts canola oil

2 pinches shichimi togarashi

1/4 cup cilantro – chopped

2 Tablespoons fresh mint or substitute two pinches of dried mint

Directions

Set oven to 400 degrees F and have a rack in the top third position.

Mix together the vinaigrette. In a small bowl add the fish sauce, water, vinegar, lime juice garlic, sugar, and red chile. Set to the side.

The Brussels Sprout need to be fried. You can do this in batches with a fry pan or with a fat side of a grill tray (this works much easier and faster than a fry pan). Squid the oil on your flat side of your grill tray on medium high heat. Add the Brussels sprouts cut side down. In a few minutes they will brown and turn them over. Remove Brussel sprouts when done on both sides. If you have bigger Brussels Sprouts they might still be slightly uncooked in the center. They go on a baking sheet. If you have small ones they might be done…..

Spoon a teaspoon of vinaigrette over each Brussels Sprout. This goes in the oven for no more than 15 minutes. (If your sprouts are small and done then you might want to cook the vinaigrette minus the lime juice and add latter and then apply the vinaigrette and possibly skip the oven time…..)

While the Brussel Sprouts are roasting in the oven put a quarter cup of popcorn kernels in a lunch bag and roll the top down a little. This gets microwaved for about one minute and fifty seconds. When this is done spray a couple squirts of oil on the popcorn a two small pinches of shichimi togarashi….(be careful this is strong). Shake bag.

Serve up your Brussels Sprouts. Top with seasoned popcorn and herbs.

Momofuku STYLE Brussels Sprouts with Fish Sauce Vinaigrette and Shivhimi Togatashi Pop Corn

ENJOY!!! A Special Thanks!! To Momofuko so I could come up with what I got here.

We tried the truffle macaroni and cheese. (menu reads- Resistance is futile.)

It very cheesy. It taste like it was made with lots of real cheese and is laced with truffle essence. A sprinkling of crunchy crumbs were added. The pasta was also prepared perfect and isn’t mushy.

Janice’s Meatloaf is made with RC Ranch Craft WAGYU beef. It comes with mashed potatoes and bordelaise sauce.

Our server recommended the lemon basil salmon protein bowl.

The salmon was grill to request (medium) and was surrounded by deluxe seasonal vegetables (today is was brussels sprouts, multi color cauliflower heirloom tomatoes, zucchini and more) with rice and was laced lightly with lemon basil dressing.

Dining Out With DOGS in Metro Phoenix AZ – January 2023- Cucina Tagliani, Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery, Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante, Culver’s

Leave a reply

Dining Out With DOGS in Metro Phoenix is just a “FLUFF” story about taking my dogs out to eat. It all sort of started with my dog Louie. He always liked going out to eat. When he got elderly and diagnosed with aggressive cancer he couldn’t do a lot but still enjoyed going out to eat so I took him out to eat as often as I could. Instead of his 3-6 month diagnosis Louie made it another 17 months. Today I take my current dogs out to eat when the weather is right.

There are a lot of things to know about dining out with dog(s).

Not all patios are dog friendly…(you need to call or look for a dog friendly patio sign)

Weather is an issue in Phoenix….90 and above is too hot. Dogs are not as heat tolerant as people.

Most food and drink that you consume might be harmful or toxic to your dog. Get these food lists from your veterinarian.

While out dog(s) they must be close to your side and are NOT to sit on restaurant furniture or eat off of restaurant plates.

Our first stop this year was our neighborhood American Italian style restaurant called Cucina Tagliani.

It’s not very dog friendly but I got one of the dishes I think they do best because I haven’t had it in a long time (baked spaghetti squash).

The baked spaghetti squash lasagna (it has onions in it that are very bad for dogs) But it is very good for people. It is very light and sauced with rich Alfredo, tomato sauce, and it has lots of melted cheese. The spaghetti squash is perfectly cooked and is somehow delicious with the sauces and cheese on the top. (I do peel off some cheese for the dogs)

My husband got the chicken parmesan and sliced off a section for the dogs.

Every Month we make it to Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese Eatery in North Phoenix. They are a Pho-Free Vietnamese Restaurant that specializes in serving around a dozen different Banh Mi Baguette sandwiches. They also offer rice plates, noodle salad bowls, curry chicken and more.

Today I got a chicken banh mi sandwich.

There is plenty of chicken to share.

I’m a pretty good eater but even with sharing this is two meals for me.

My husband got the shaken beef banh mi but I forgot to photo it. The beef is always very good here….It’s always tender like filet mignon but I know it’s ribeye. The dogs really enjoyed the shaken beef too!

The food is always fresh and good. Prices are low and portions are large.

We always enjoy going to Banh Mi Bistro Vietnamese eatery in North Phoenix.

We also made it to Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante in North Glendale. They offer certified Neapolitan Pizzas and Italian Foods. We were both getting pizzas today so We got the dogs their own side order of chicken.

Look how happy this dog is!

This little sweetie pie puts his head on my knee waiting for chicken.

“I sure LOVE to eat chicken….and a little Parmesan couldn’t hurt”

I tried the pesto & truffle pizza today.

The fragrance of truffles is stronger than the taste……..I think the generous amount of pesto and the arugula just are more forward……I think they accidentally also gave me extra truffles because they only list truffle oil as the truffle ingredient. I can see shaved truffles here. Some bites do taste like truffle. Other bites don’t.

My husband went with the salame piccante (spicy salami) pizza.

D.O.P. Tomato sauce, fior di latte, spicy salami, basil, extra virgin olive oil…What’s not to like?

“We always enjoy going to Bottega Pizzeria Ristorante!”

This past week it was too cold in Phoenix to dine outside without heaters. So we took the dogs out for their own butter cheese burger from Culver’s. Culver’s is good for a fast food chain. Their beef and chicken are never from frozen and they hand batter fish. My Bigger dog was so excited when she saw we were driving up to Culver’s. She smacked my smaller dog out of his seat so she could sit on the side to look right into the menu and the take out window. We got them a plain (no toppings or sauce) double butter cheese burger. They always sear the burger nice. I ripped off about a third of the burger for them without the bun. They will eat the rest over the next two days as treats.

They always enjoy Culver’s.

Then Burger – Glendale AZ – FANTABULOUS ELEVATED BURGERS! – Worth A Fork!*****WITH UPDATE – NOT THE SAME

Leave a reply

Then Burger is located across from the entrance to Westgate in Glendale Arizona. The restaurant is brought to you by a local resident Mr. Preston who also owns Twist Hot Chicken in Peoria. This is a casual but very nice burger restaurant.

Besides elevated ground in house burgers they offer service, great cocktails, beer, wine and more. Mostly everything is made in-house. Everything is fresh. They only use the freezer for the ice cream for milk shakes. They offer appetizers, a few salads, and around a dozen different modern burger choices. Most of the burgers are beef patties (short rib, SIRLOIN, chuck) that are ground in house. They are recommended to be served medium pictured below.

Some of the other very detailed burgers are short rib (like quesabirra that you dunk), beef like with marrow and mushrooms, salmon, chicken thigh, and beet patty. They are served on Noble Bread Buns and come with hand cut fries that can be upgraded to poutine fries or animal fries (dressing and cheese).

We started out with smooth strong cocktails called wild horse.

Lip Service Rye Whiskey, St George Absinthe, Maraschino Bitters

We also tried the roasted bone marrow appetizer.

This was really great! – It’s so much better than the last bone marrow I tried someplace downtown. It was adorned with wild mushroom ragu and came with Noble Bread Slices.

Then came ——-The Burger.

I picked the Kenji Burger – red Leicester cheese ( my request on the side), teriyaki, caramelized onions, arugula, yuzu aioli on a just right, not too bread-ee Noble Bun………OMG This is just FANTABULOUS! The Flavors are incredible. The Burger is incredible. ********this burger is FORKING INCREDIBLE*******Besides everything that is tasting amazing I’m pointing out the caramelized onions…..not sure if it’s just the onions or a combination of the onions and sauces but the taste is so incredible that it might be impossible for me to try a different beef burger here…..It really was that FORKING GREAT!

Around five minutes latter the cut in house fries arrive.

upgraded – poutine fries with cheese curds and gravy

I was surprised that we weren’t offered ketchup for the fries. Instead we got small dishes of sauces. One was house sauce ( a creamy mustardy sauce ((my favorite)), ranch sauce, a creamy lemon-ee sauce, and garlic aioli.

My husband thinks that the burger called drugstore was FANTABULOUS. (It’s the most traditional burger on the menu)

He got his Medium Rare. American Cheese, HOUSE Bacon, Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, Bread and Butter Pickles, and House Sauce. He just kept saying that this is a really good burger…..THIS IS A REALLY GOOD BURGER……..Can we go here tomorrow?

They do offer a few desserts but the food is so darn FANTABULOUS that I doubt most people will ever have room for dessert.

Then Burger (across from entrance to Westgate) Your Welcome.

Worth a Fork! THEN WE RETURNED.

The burgers are no longer a blend of short rib, sirloin, and chuck. Now they are all chuck.

The burgers taste different and cook up different now.

My husband tried the Drugstore burger again (American cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, bread and butter pickles, house sauce) and asked for Medium-Rare. It no longer comes with bacon.

Unfortunately it’s well done and dry.

My marrow & mushroom burger (menu reads munster but they gave me truffle pecorino ((on side at my request)), shiitake mushrooms, marrow crisp, marrow bone.

This burger patty is FORKING DRY AS A HOCKY PUCK!

For a $36.00 burger that IS CERTAINLY NOT ACCEPTABLE. It was very hard for me but I had to send it back and my husband also sent his burger back. In acceptable time we had the re-fires.

Second drugstore burger came out well done and dry.

Second marrow and mushroom burger came out dry.

The Little Pickle Phoenix AZ – PHENOMENAL PASTRAMI & BRISKET – Worth a Fork!

Leave a reply

The Little Pickle is a Jewish Type Deli Located in Phoenix Arizona across from the Biltmore Fashion Mall in the Esplanade (they validate parking). It’s a small casual place with only a few tables and a small counter by the window.

Currently they are open for breakfast and weekday lunch till 2pm (subject to change). We made it there just before they closed.

You order at the counter.

They call your name when your order is ready.

Here’s an everything a bagel with scallion cream cheese.

I thought that this was a West Coast Style Bagel but someone from The Little Pickle contacted me and told me that their bagels are from New York. The bagel I tried is a different style than east coast bagels that I was used to when I lived there. I was used to the ones with a shiny crust that were chewy inside. Anyone remember Abe’s or Miller’s Deli? Also Scotts Generations serves the chewy style bagels that were and also are from New York. The style of these New York bagels are different.They are good…just different.

Sandwiches come wrapped up like this.

Your sandwich comes with a wrapped Little Pickle to the side.

Our first sandwich that we tried was the corned beef.

The corned beef is a little different than what I’m used to. It’s good but milder with the spices.

We also tried the turkey.

The turkey is nice, tender and moist. It’s good but……………….

I think that the brisket might be the *****BEST FORKING BRISKET***** that I have ever tried anywhere. The Flavors and texture is BOMB! It has this incredible burnt sweet onion taste and the beef just melts in your mouth……..They melt cheese on the bread so that is great for some people but other people might want to order the brisket without cheese.

The Pastrami is also *******FORKING GREAT**************!

It’s so flavorful and unusually juicy just melts in your mouth. It’s fatty but not too fatty. It just might be the best pastrami sandwich out there!

You’d be nuts not to try the pastrami or the brisket. Your Welcome!

Ono in Hawaiian usually means Good or Delicious

Leave a reply

Ono Hawaiian BBQ is a Californian chain of casual Hawaiian restaurants with around three locations in Phoenix Arizona. The popular entree at Hawaiian BBQ restaurants is called the Hawaiian Plate Lunch. Maybe you are not familiar with the Hawaiian plate lunch? The Hawaiian plate lunch is usually a large Styrofoam container filled with two scoops of steamed rice, a scoop of creamy macaroni salad, some steamed vegetables and a generous serving of a protein or two. I finally tried the newer Ono Hawaiian BBQ Glendale Arizona location.

It’s casual. You order and pay at the counter.

Seat yourself.

Our name was called and we picked it up.

Here’s the white fish and BBQ chicken.

Two scoops of steamed white rice, macaroni salad that is on the dry side today. The fish is very greasy…and taste like grease. The chicken really is nicely caramelized and is tender……It’s also a very generous portion but it taste like soy sauce. Under the fish and chicken is mostly what they call steamed cabbage and some broccoli. I tried to eat the cabbage but it is very oily and too tough to cut with a plastic knife. The broccoli drips with oil but is next to raw. I can’t eat the vegetables or much of this.

Here’s the BBQ Combo (short rib, BBQ chicken, BBQ beef)

All the beef is tender but oddly leathery…….And it all taste like soy sauce. Vegetables, macaroni salad, and rice are same as above.

Ono in Hawaiian usually means good or delicious…….Tonight Ono at the Glendale AZ location means Oh No!

Local Bistro Scottsdale AZ – Some Big Hits…..

Leave a reply

Local Bistro Restaurant is located in North Scottsdale Arizona. They call themselves a rustic Italian Restaurant. They offer dinner and Sunday bottomless Brunch. Their offerings do differ some from other Italian Restaurants. Some of their small plate offerings are tuna tartare, wood fired corn, mussels dijonese. They also offer soup and salads like French Onion soup, and a steak salad. They make wood fired pizzas, house made pastas. Some of the entrees offered are sautéed chicken with artichokes, a fifty day aged prime filet of beef, and Chilean Sea Bass with Spanish Chorizo in a white wine lobster broth. They also offer a children’s menu and desserts.

They have a large semi covered patio with lots of heaters for when it’s chilly.

They have a large bar area with big screen TVs.

Or you can sit in a main dining area.

We started with the crispy eggplant and burrata.

It’s like eggplant parmesan but different. Instead of tomato sauce there is a coating of spicy hot Calabrian Chile Marmalade. The cheese is also creamy burrata with mint leaves, olive oil, and maybe nutmeg. Today the Calabrian Chile Marmalade is running very hot or maybe they were just overly generous with it….

The pan seared Faroe Island Salmon was very good.

It had a nice caramelized sear and was cooked to my request. The carrots and zucchini had the same exact texture. I thought that was impressive. The whipped pesto potatoes are a very generous portion and taste basil forward. Around the edge of the potatoes was a lemon-caper beurre blanc sauce for dipping.

My husband tried the Tagliatelle alla Bolognese.

It’s house made pasta, twenty-four hour braised beef, pork, veal, San Marzano tomato ragu, and parmesan. My husband said that he really couldn’t taste the twenty-four hour braised beef. Maybe this batch tasted more like pork and veal…..?

We decided to share a vanilla gelato Toschi Cherry Meringata for dessert because you seldom come across Meringatas at restaurants.

It’s basically an Italian Meringue ice-cream type cake. A bit generous with the whipped cream but a nice sweet ending.

We found that brunch was more of a mixed bag with live entertainment.

It’s bottomless sort of……Each person can pick two starters and pick as many starters as they want. Then you pick an entree. Then you can add more starters if you can fit them in. They also have a bottomless drink special but you have to stick with one kind of beverage.

They do make the starters in portions for sharing.

I started out with the heirloom tomato and melon gazpacho shooter.

This was really great! Very clean, refreshing and enjoyable. One of my favorites here.

My husband had the sausage lollipops.

They came with honey and Calabrian chili honey. My husband’s favorite thing was the Calabrian chili honey here…He kept saying that it was very good and kept it until the end.

We shared the mini (MINI?) drunk bread.

We noticed that this was a very popular the evening we were here. It seemed that every table had one but us. It’s like cheesy and white wine dunked……We both don’t really like the white wine dunk…But many may disagree here.

One of our other mutual favorites was the patatas bravas. Spanish Romesco, and garlic aioli.

These were just really great potatoes. They just melt in your mouth. They seem like they might have been twice or tripled fried by the incredible creamy texture that they have. But they were extra light with the sauces. Could have used a little more.

Sorry to report that the entrees weren’t as good……. 🙁

The best parts of the Caesar salad was the Padano snow, the parmesan crisp, and the 6 minute egg. Lets just forget about the rest……..

My husband tried the chicken, the egg, the waffle entree.

The breaded chicken was all dried out, and covered in very thick sausage gravy with melted cheddar cheese, and a medium egg. There also was a waffle in there.

Local Bistro – Rustic Italian Cuisine – Like the majority of restaurants out there some great hits and a few misses……..Contemporary in style.

Salad World Peoria AZ – Healthy Fast Food Alternative

Leave a reply

Salad World recently opened in Peoria Arizona not too far from P83. They are a casual not fancy “Chipotle Style” build-your-own salad type of restaurant.

You start by picking one of the two size bowls for your salad. Then you go down the line and pick what you want. The person behind a clear sneeze guard wall builds the salad for you. You start out by picking the lettuce bend. Then you can add some fruits like grapes or dried cranberries and around four other things. Then you have all kinds of vegetables to pick from. There are vegetables like cauliflower, broccoli, onions, mushrooms, and jicama. Protein choices cost extra and are chicken, ham, plant based chicken, steak, and tofu. Other items to add to the salad are cheese, toppings like nuts, croutons, or bacon and salad dressing.

You can build your own salad of around 60 items or pick a suggested salad from a menu that they will make for you.

We each tried a salad. One regular sized and one large. You can’t tell by my picture but the large really is much larger than the medium.

Large is on top and on the bottom is the regular sized

I do have to say that the chicken breast is much better than what you would get from most places for salads. It can pass as sous vide chicken. Everything seems fresh. I got mixed greens and iceberg lettuce, radishes, broccoli, carrots, chick peas, onions, cranberries, sliced almonds, sesame sticks, and some sort of Asian Ginger dressing that seems tasty. Too bad I can’t go back for cucumbers……I think they’d go well here. I was surprised to be offered my choice of roll. (regular or whole wheat).

My husband got the large salad. He also tried the chicken and also added the steak. I didn’t taste the steak but it did look good…….But I can smell it and it is very smokey. He also got bacon, egg, and cheese and several of the vegetables. The large is a real bargain here….It’s so big that people can share.

They do offer a variety of soft beverages here, a children’s menu, and maybe a few other things such as a packaged cookie. I read on their website that they offer soup? Maybe they do but I didn’t notice it today.

I’d say well worth a try for a fast/casual healthy food option in Peoria.
