Burger crew meeting called to order on Saturday, July 24th, 2021.
Members in attendance: Angela, Trev, Marty, DK, Innie
Original burger crew meeting was slated for For The Win. Unfortunately when we arrived the restaurant was closed due to plumbing issues. Needless to say, there was no win.
Our consolation was a place a couple miles away called Blue Burger. It is located inside Bluebird Market which resembles more a liquor store than a market. The “market” portion is easily rivaled by the “mini store” in the lobby of the local TownePlace Suites by Marriot.
I. Ordering
There were only 4 burgers on the menu with a Fries add on for $2. The prices listed below reflect burger only.
Angela and Trevor ordered the Original Burger $9 – Raw onions, Mayo, Ketchup, Mustard, Lettuce, Tomato, American Cheese
and
Tex Mex with Fries $10 – American Cheese, Bacon, BBQ Sauce, Onion (fried)
DK ordered the Hot Cheeto Burger with Fries $12 – American Cheese, Bacon, Avocado, Lettuce, Tomato, Fried Onions, Mayo, Ketchup
Wayne and Innie ordered the Original Burger with fries.
II. The Burgers
We all found the OG Burger was super juicy and really good. The patties had a really great sear with nice rough grind. All the burgers came with TWO patties and TWO super melty slices of cheese. The buns were also EXTRA toasted. We really don’t see enough of this around. The chef really made the burgers with care and love and it absolutely shows.
As for the Hot Cheetos burger, the first reaction after picking it up with the hands is that it was really stiff to the point it could be snapped. However, after first bite the fears were assuaged and the burger gave way predictably and nicely. The cheetos gave a crunch and felt really satisfying. Perhaps it could be described as ASMR for the mouth.
III. Fries
Fries seem single fried a-la crispy on the outside and way over done on the inside. If you’ve ever had fries at In ‘n Out “well done” then you know what I’m talking about. Plenty of seasoning salt to make that Coke taste extra good.
IV. Miscellaneous
This is strictly to-go establishment. There’s no seating available inside the market. There’s loud thumping music playing on the speakers.
It’s simply one chef working the grill/counter and payment is done in the market portion of the store. We didn’t see mask wearing by the chef.
Parking is difficult because ktown.
Hours are Closed Tuesday
12PM-9PM all other days except Friday and Saturday they close two hours later at 11PM
V. Value
As a group we valued the burgers between $9 and $12. The actual pricing is good for the money.
VI. The Verdict
The ratings: 4.1, 4.2, 3.5, 4, and 4.2. Perhaps there’s an indicator that one of the burgers wasn’t consistently made. Overall we really enjoyed the burger. Personally I would not go out of my way to come back but If I was in the area I’d definitely stop in if I were craving a hamburger.
