The Slopper

A blogger writes here about a Pueblo burger invention called a Slopper where a hamburger is submerged in green chili. This would be wonderful to try, but also got me thinking about trying to find the best chili size in the OC. The chili size is a unique concoction that merges two of the best comfort foods; chili and burgers. Stay tuned to see if an OC chili size can be located.

These are a few of my favorite things...

Slashfood points out here that a Philadelphia chef is trying to draw attention to the plight of the company that makes tastykakes by serving sliders made with peanut butter tastykakes as the bun. Despite the fact that I love sliders and LOVE chocolate enrobed peanut butter tastykakes, I am not sure that this would be a good combination. I would try it though...

More Burger News

The OC Register reports that 3,170 pounds of potentially tainted ground beef and burgers have been recalled. Hopefully, this is the end of this story.

Burger News

The Fast Food Maven at the OC Register writes that Bravo Burgers will be adding a location in Mission Viejo in March. We are looking forward to sampling their Burgers.

And how could we not take this opportunity to share what looks like the best snack on tap at the party: bacon-wrapped, cream cheese-filled jalapenos. I know what you're thinking, how do I get invited to that party?!

Super Sunday!

In this year of the burger, how could we pass up the chance to serve burgers! And what better type of burger to serve at a Super Bowl party than sliders? This is a picture of 48, 2 oz. slider patties waiting their turn to be grilled and eaten with various number of dips, chips, crackers, etc.

Peter's Gourmade My Day

Inside View



I had been hearing big things about the food coming out of a gas station in Tustin. Given the buzz of food trucks everywhere and an increased general awareness (it seems) of non-chain food options, it took me a few times hearing about it before I ventured over to Tustin to try Peter's Gourmade. Now I wish that I had tried it sooner!

The Burger

I selected the "ABC Burger" from the menu. It is described as:

ABC Burger 5.75
All-Beef Angus patty served on a toasted potato bun with lettuce, onion, tomato, Famous Dave’s Pickle Chips, ketchup, mustard & Mayo with Bacon, Fresh Avocado & Melted Cheddar Cheese.

It was INCREDIBLE! The burger texture was the single best burger I have ever had. It was the softest and most tender (not an adjective usually used with Burgers) patty I have tried.

The mayo, ketchup, mustard, avocado, and melted cheddar created a silky smooth sauce flavor and the thick and crisp bacon created a smoky and crisp counter point.

I also sampled the french fries which were simply very good. Crisp, skinny, well-cooked, and salty, they were awesome. AND, with a drink and fries added to the burger for $2 extra, it was a very good deal.

I can't wait to go back to try the Greek Fries, french fries with feta and gyro meat on top!
