Vacation time! One of the perks of going on vacation is being able to try new restaurants and burgers. On our way to North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, we stopped in Charlotte, North Carolina for the evening.
I love walking in cities for a day or two. You get to listen to the bustle of the city and watch people go by. There are sometimes street performers preforming or music being played. You see art, architecture, and cultures other than your own. We had heard from others that Cowbells is the place to go for a burger.
I ordered the Sodapop burger. It is a barbecue patty topped with Sriracha grilled prosciutto, crispy onion straws, house pickles, iceberg lettuce, Roma tomato, melted Gruyere cheese, chipotle ketchup, and soy sauce, served on a sesame seed bun. I ordered the burger without the house pickles.
The bun was average. Nothing spectacular, but not bad. It would have been nice if it was toasted or warmed a bit.
The patty was delicious. It was salted beautifully. It was tender. The meat was so juicy. The burger was cooked to a lovely medium. There was a nice charring on the outside of the meat.
The toppings are some of the best I have had. The sriracha grilled prosciutto was so spicy. I could not stop eating it though. It was to the point it made you cough a little and your eyes water a bit. It was just he right amount of heat. The crispy onion straws turned a bit soggy with all of the toppings, but I appreciated the sweetness. It helped lower the heat from the prosciutto. The rest of the toppings got lost in the heat. I would have liked more cheese to balance the heat.
This is a burger that you need multiple napkins or a fork and knife. It was a delicious cheeseburger. I am sad this restaurant is so far away. It is a burger I wish I could have again.
