Fricker's Loaded Brew Burger

We stopped at Fricker's in Findlay for cheeseburgers. I ordered the Fricker's Loaded Brew Burger. It is a burger topped with brew city fries, beer cheese, and bacon crumbles.

The bun was average and did it's job of holding the burger.

The toppings are the star of this burger. The French fries are crispy, cheesey, and salty. The bacon gets lost. I forgot that it was on the sandwich until I reread the menu.

The burger makes you wish you had just ordered the cheese fries. It's bland and turns to mush in your mouth.

BG Burgers' Jalapeno Popper Topped Burger

Bowling Green is not too far from our home. It is a town that I always underrate and tend to forget about since we end up in Findlay quite often. Today, I may have found a contender for the Best Burger of 2019 Award.

BG Burgers is in downtown Bowling Green, not too far from my favorite cookie bakery (Insomnia Cookie). When your restaurant has burger in the name, I have high hopes. I ordered the Jalapeno Popper Topped Burger and was so pleasantly surprised!

The Jalapeno Popper Topped Burger  is a half pound burger loaded with fried jalapeno poppers, pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, red onions, and spicy mayo. It is served on a delicious brioche bun.

The patty was amazing. I will need to eat burgers from BG Burgers on a regular basis. They get their meat in fresh from Belleville Brother's Market. If you will say where you get your meat from, that lets me know how much pride you take in your food. The hamburger was grilled to a magnificent medium. It had such a great flavor, tenderness and juiciness. It was seasoned fantastically!

The bun is fresh. I didn't find out from their website where they get their buns from, but it wouldn't surprise me if they baked them fresh on site or ordered them from a local bakery. There is something about the smell of fresh bread that sets it apart from a other sandwich material.

The toppings we're a perfect compliment to the burger. The pepper jack cheese was not too spicy and had a great pepper taste. I do wish that there had been more mayonnaise. I love mayonnaise more than the average person though. The jalapeno poppers were crispy and full of cream cheese. The red onions had a nice crunch but we're not over powering. The lettuce leaf was crisp and a pretty shade of green. The tomatoes were fresh and juicy, like out of a family garden.

I can't wait to go back and eat this burger again or try the build my own options.

Denny's American Diner Double

I stopped by Denny's for lunch the other day.

The toppings are carmelized onions, American cheese, and "All-American" sauce. The sauce reminds me of the Frisco sauce at Steak and Shake, but not on the same quality. It is creamy, but flavorless. The carmelized onions dictate the flavor of the burger, which is good news for the sauce and bad news for the cheese, which is an afterthought despite encumbering the burger patties.

The Patty is not seasoned and has no flavor. This is to be expected at a diner like Denny's, but it doesn't take away how disappointing the flavor was.

The bun was a brioche bun and you could not tell. It had no structure or flavor. Barely does it's job as a bun.

When you feel like you can do better at home, you don't have much hope for your meal.

Guest Review: Holy Toledo Tavern's Turkey Burger with Bacon

My name is Michelle, I'm a guest here. I have the luxury of living close to Downtown Toledo where there is an array of restaurants. My husband and I made a restaurant bucket list if you want to call it that. We said we wanted to try all the restaurants that are downtown, just to try something different. Gets boring eating at the same old places. Our first restaurant we chose was Holy Toledo Tavern. I ordered the Turkey Burger with Bacon and hand cut fries (which were fantastic). 

Let's start with the bun, it was a buttered top Brioche bun that was slightly toasted which delicious. 

 The 7oz turkey burger was seasoned really well with garlic and spices. For the price point of $11.95 with an add on of $1 for the bacon.  I was disappointed because it was a frozen patty. However, the spices and toppings did make up for that, a little! 

On to the topping. Like I said, I had bacon added because well, who doesn't love bacon. The other toppings included avacados, tomatoe and a garlic aioli on the bun. The toppings were a great combo with the spices from the burger. 

Overall I was satisfied but not sure that I would order it again because of the frozen patty.

Focaccia's Delicatessen- Focaccia's Burger

One of the perks of working in downtown Toledo is the variety of restaurants you can try. I was excited to see that Focaccia's has a burger.

The Focaccia Burger is an Angus beef burger topped with lettuce, tomato, your choice of cheese and rosemary mayonnaise. When you order they ask if you want to add on bacon and mushrooms. Um, yes please!

The burger was seasoned well, and that might be what saved it. The patty was dryer than I like. I was not a fan of the meat texture. The burger was the right size for the bun.

The bun was a Kaiser roll. It was soft a felt fresh. It did a great job holding the toppings in place

The toppings were the highlight of the burger. The cheese was gooey and delicious.bi ordered cheddar, but they have other cheeses you could choose. The mushrooms were salty and seasoned well. The bacon was done to the point that you could bite it, but it wasn't crunchy. The rosemary mayo  was a little overwhelming, but was a nice change to a standard burger
