10/19/18: Findlay Brewing Company's FBC Burger


Kristina and I visited the Findlay Brewing Company to try their limited selection of burgers. While Kristina decided to try the limited edition burger, I have tried their mainstay - the FBC Burger.

The toppings vary, but I had cheddar cheese...and it was fantastic. Even melted around the patty with a solid flavor.

The patty was delicious. It was as the same size of the bun, which is always good, and it was a thicker, formed patty. The charred taste easily compliments the burger.

The bun can be seen as a standard bun, but it is actually not bad at all. The bun tastes of quality (is that possible?) with a nice, toasted middles.

While this burger looks plain (the default burger has more toppings), the FBC Burger is a really good burger that can stand with no toppings better than other burgers with the works.

10-19-18 Findlay Brewing Company's Mushroom and Swiss Burger **limited edition**



Today was a "I don't feel like cooking" Friday, so we took off to Findlay to go get burgers. We stopped at the Findlay Brewery because we heard their burgers were fantastic.

I ordered the Mushroom Swiss Burger. This is on a rotation at the restaurant, so it is not available every month. This is quite a shame because I really enjoyed the burger.

The bun was excellent. You could have eaten by itself. My burger was so juicy that it did a great job of soaking in all of juice to make the bread that much more flavorful.

The toppings were not spared. Some restaurants only put a few mushroom slices on and then you don't taste mushrooms throughout the burger. This was not the case with the Findlay Brewery. There was a good 1/4-1/2 inch of mushrooms slices across the entire burger. The Swiss cheese was plenty and able to keep the majority of the mushrooms in the burger. I am positive there was a sauce or mayonnaise on the burger, which added some great flavor, however, I won't comment on it more than this because the burger is not listed on the menu and I don't want to incorrectly guess what was the condiment.

This was a premium patty. It was full of flavor, seasoned well, and juicy. My burger was cooked to a perfect medium. This is a burger you need to hold with both hands. I liked how the patty kept it's form on the bun, but was tender and required minimal chewing in your mouth.

I am saddened that this burger is only occasionally available as it is one of the best mushroom and Swiss burgers I have ever eaten.

10-13-18 Keith's Dugout Double Cheeseburger



Today after a Saturday of errands, we stopped at Keith's Dugout to pick up a burger on the way home. I ordered a double cheeseburger with mayonnaise and tomato.

I was hoping for a delicious grilled diner style burger. The patties came out pressed wonderfully thin and crisped up. I wish they would have been seasoned better, at least give the patty some salt.

They had a small selection of toppings. I chose mayonnaise and a tomato to keep it simple. They placed a good amount of mayonnaise on the bun. The tomato was one of the worse I have had I picked it off and threw it away because I wondered if it was rotten.

The bun was a bun. I wish I had more to say about it. It did what it was meant to do; nothing more nothing less.

Bun: 3
Topping: 2

9/22/2018 Ohio Renaissance Festival's Irish Burger

This weekend we went to the Ohio Renaissance Festival located in Waynesville. Nick and I enjoy board games of all varieties, Sci-Fi movies, and not growing all the way up.

When you arrive it is like you stepped into a world forgotten and full of fantasy. There are tons of fun shops and shows to enjoy. The festival has a wide variety of food from many countries. I of course needed to try a burger.

I ordered an Irish Burger. It was bacon, sour cream grilled onions, and  sweet chili sauce cheeseburger.

The bun was most likely a Walmart special. Nothing fantastic about it. You could have this bun on a burger you made at home though.

The toppings were not as full of flavor as I would have hoped. The onions were soggy and if I wouldn't have opened the burger I would have thought they forgot the chili sauce and sour cream.

The burger was a frozen special. I don't think they even put salt or pepper on it. It is worse than a school cafeteria quality burger. For $12, I wish I would have tried other food. I ended up throwing part of the burger away because it wasn't worth the bland calories.
