Tony Burger - Big T w/ Bacon
Tony Burger - Big T w/ Bacon
When I belly up to a burger and start to whale away, I never really give much thought of the makeups of the meat in the patty. In some cases ignorance is bliss, but for Tony Burger, they take pride in their secret “tri-beef” blend. I must say that they are doing something right because it is a delicious burger. They also deep fry their fries twice for extra crispiness. Once you’ve had fries that have been double dipped in the frier, you will not want to go back to the silly single fried fries. Utah is also the land Mormon's, snow, and Karl Malone. But it also the home of 'fry sauce', which to my understanding is one part catsup, two parts mayonnaise, with seasonings too. Good stuff indeed. The unassuming eatery is just a great place to feast on burgers and fries. Tony Burger with its “triple-beef” blend, double-fried fries, is a single standout on the SLC burger scene.
Portillo's - Italian Beef / Hot Dog
Portillo's - Italian Beef / Hot Dog
There are many great Italian Beef joints in Chicago, but Portillo’s is undisputedly the most successful. Portillo’s does everything well, but the Beef Sandwich is what put them on the map, and is their flagship sandwich. This sandwich is as great as it looks. The same goes for their hoy dogs too.
Sonny Bryans - Frito Pie / BBQ Po Boy
Sonny Bryans - Frito Pie / BBQ Po Boy
This being my first time to Texas I thought I’d try to take in as much delicious Texas BBQ that I could shove down my throat. Being there for work I was pretty much confined to anything close to the hotel, which in my case was Sonny Bryan’s BBQ. Pulled pork one night, a BBQ po-boy the next and of course the Frito Pie. A bowl filled with Fritos, baked beans, beef brisket, cheese, sour cream, and onions, is the workings of one of my favorite things to eat.. slop. And good slop at that. Despite my limited trip to Dallas, I felt like I got my BBQ fix as I did some serious damage at Sonny Bryan's.
Air Tahiti - In Flight Meal
Air Tahiti - In Flight Meal
There are many wonderful foods in the South Pacific, but on a flight from Hiva Oa in the Marquesas Islands, to Papaete, Tahiti, one meal caught my attention... the inflight meal. It was a club sandwich, crusts cut off, and a meat with a magenta hue which I have never seen the likes of. It was interesting to say the least, and the fact that I was so hungry made it a very memorable meal. Probably the best in-flight meal across the South Pacific that I have ever had in my life.
