Aprils Challenge Winner

the envelope please………………..

The Pepper Canister way exceeded most of our expectations.

With 7 members rising to  the challenge most  felt the Pepper Canister was a better burger than English
members comments:

on English:

-The only thing I would go back to English for was the hot bartender.

-I was satisfied with the service, wasn’t the greatest and not the worst

-I had such high expectation for English and sadly everyone’s burger on my group was way over cooked and dry.Maybe it was an off night?

-the burger was made just the way I like it! I got the burger with 3 toppings, bacon, cheddar and avocado and it only enhanced the flavor of the burger.

On the Pepper Canister

-Lovely grill marks on a perfectly cooked burger. More of a solid bar burger than gourmet but it was good.

-So juicy and tasty, I wanted another one….

-Was cooked as ordered, great meat to bun ratio. The bun and toppings are basic burger fare but still great without the fancy pants add ons.

-burger came overcooked and bun was disappointing.

April’s Burger Challenge

ARE YOU READY TO RUMBLE!!!!!

Each month at burger club we take 2 burger spots (usually in the same hood) and face them off with each other. The challenge is to go to both spots in the same day, try similar burgers and then once no longer comatose write a review comparing the 2. One will be the favorite and the other not so much.

This months contenders are 2 River North spots about 1 block or so for each other. My suggestion is to take a friend and share the food so you cans till drink beer.
