YEG Burger Odyssey #14- Delux Burger Bar vs Local

June 3, 2014 By baconhound

Edmonton's best burgers

Delux Burger Bar- 9682 142 st. Delux Burger Bar was one of the first places I put on the list when I started the Yeg Burger Odyssey, so it’s a bit of a travesty that I’ve taken this long to check it out. It’s not like I haven’t had a burger at Delux before, mind […]

Eating Chicago: Mindy’s Hot Chocolate

May 20, 2014 By baconhound

Mindy's Hot Chocolate

As soon as I read a sentence or 2 about Mindy’s Hot Chocolate, I knew it was going straight on my “must try” list. The reputation of it’s owner, Mindy Segal, is outstanding, and there would be something for me (the highly recommended burger), and about a million things for Robyn (anything with chocolate). We […]

YEG Burger Odyssey #13- Downtown Diner vs Rockin’ Robyn’s

April 28, 2014 By baconhound

Edmonton Burgers

If the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives has taught us anything- other than annoying catchphrases and wearing sunglasses on the back of your head can make you famous- it’s that North Americans have an enduring love for comforting classics done well. Especially if that food is served up in a family run diner full […]

YEG Burger Odyssey #12- The Burger Joint vs Rodeo Burger

April 15, 2014 By baconhound

Edmonton's best burger

I knew it was going to be hard to follow up last weeks dual-winner week, where the entries claimed the top 2 spots, so I decided to visit 2 popular local burger stands which both got some good recommendations from my readers. I was assured that The Burger Joint (BJ) had a fresh made patty, […]

This is the week many of you have been waiting for…its time to get to some of Edmonton’s heaviest hitters on the burger scene – including one of the most overwhelmingly suggested eateries in town. The 2 places we hit up this week have been on my list since the beginning, but I’ve been holding […]

YEG Burger Odyssey #10- Glass Monkey vs Original Joe’s

March 31, 2014 By baconhound

Edmonton burgers

At this point, I’m sure you all are as tired of reading about bad burgers with frozen patties and rock hard buns as I am of eating them so, this week, I made it my mission to find at least one burger that I could actually recommend going to try for yourself.  Until a few […]

Yeg Burger Odyssey #9- On The Rocks vs Kelly’s Pub

March 24, 2014 By baconhound

Edmonton burgers

Edmonton’s best burger, at least according to me, has not been an easy thing to find. Luckily Avenue Magazine recently voted on it’s Top 3 burgers in Edmonton, so this week I’m putting their second place finisher, Kelly’s Pub, up against another downtown area pub, On The Rocks. For the record, their top pick was […]

The YEG Burger Odyssey Visits Austin

March 20, 2014 By baconhound

Austin burgers

While planning our recent trip to Austin, Texas, I knew we’d have to find a few burgers and compare them to what I’ve had so far in the Yeg Burger Odyssey. We narrowed the list to about a half a dozen possibilities, and figured we’d just fit them into our hectic schedule of bbq eating […]

Yeg Burger Odyssey #8- The Hat vs Soda Jerks

March 12, 2014 By baconhound

Edmonton Burgers

We’re up to Episode #8 in the search for Edmonton’s best burger, which means this will be burger number 15 and 16 for me. I get asked all the time, “Are you getting sick of burgers yet?”, and frankly today the answer might be “yes”, and tomorrow it might “no”. I guess the real answer […]

Yeg Burger Odyssey #7- The Burg vs Daravara

March 3, 2014 By baconhound

Edmonton burgers

The 7th edition of the Yeg Burger Odyssey features a burger-centric restaurant that Avenue Magazine recently voted as  Edmonton’s Best Burger, and a brand new restaurant that could very well make that list next year. The Burg- 10190 104 st.  The Burg has been a bit of a lightning rod since opening it’s doors last […]
