A tiny burger joint with large aspirations of becoming a
legendary chain spanning the Americas and bringing burger enlightenment to all
the McDonalds heathens. And by God I think
they might do it! I would put this place
in a class right up there with In-N-Out Burger, which has long since gone
unanswered by California’s northern neighbor.
Burgerville tries (supporters of local farms and fresh seasonal specials)
but they just fall a little short in the delicious department. Probably the most important feature of this
burger place is the inclusion of bacon on EVERY 1/3 pound burger offered, what
a simple yet brilliant idea. I decided
on their flagship, peanut-butter-pickle-bacon burger… odd?? Inticing?? Wrong?? It was oh so right!! The best way to describe this is: a savory,
sweet’n’sour, squishy-crunch. By the
time I was done analyzing all the mingling flavors I was nearly done and had to
make a concerted effort to slow down and enjoy the rest of the ride. The “peanut butter” used was a homemade blend
that was a bit more of a peanut sauce than a traditional peanut butter but it
worked. The bacon was perfect, and the
patty was cooked expertly, with a finishing sear that added a crunch to the
outside of the burger and locked in the natural flavors. The meal finished well with a side of fresh
Yukon Gold fries and a local microbrew, delicious! A final farewell was the board of changing
specials, which means I will have to keep coming back to see all the new
wonderful concoctions. Well Killer
Burger, you killed it.
