Cheeseburger Aficionado 2: Ruby Tuesday

Posted by Bradley under Cheeseburger Aficionado

Time for lunch and this time it’s at Ruby Tuesday.

Place: Ruby Tuesday in N. Kansas City
Burger: Single cheese
Condiments: Lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles, unidentified special sauce [1000 island?]
Rating: 6/10
Verdict: Probably won’t have again

Comments: At first glance I was like, wow! This is a great looking burger I hope it tastes as gourmet as it looks. The whole wheat bun and nice presentation gave me that wow factor. First bite I tasted a whole lot of fresh. The meat had a wonderful fresh taste. Then it started leaking. Like the juice was so out of control there was a pool of it on my plate. This made the bun soggy as I ate. The tomatoes were also sliced too thick and were hard to bite so they just pulled out of the sandwich. The final bites were mostly meat, edge meat, which was great and satisfying. Too much juice for me to want to eat it again. You can see it on the lettuce in the pic.

Cheeseburger Aficionado 1: Chubbys

Posted by Bradley under Cheeseburger Aficionado

Well Danny’s been talking about it for too long without doing anything with it so we decided to start last night at Chubbys. So here you go Cheeseburger Aficionado #1.

Place: Chubbys on Broadway
Burger: Single cheese
Condiments: Lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, pickles, ketchup, mustard, salt, pepper
Rating: 7.5/10
Verdict: Definitely have again

Comments: I liked the grilled onions. The super fresh condiments made this burger rate higher. My initial reaction was MOAR cheese although the grilled onions helped balance the moisture out. The pickles were the small, round dills but sliced extra beefy, which was nice.

That second pic was Danny’s double cheese.
