| - For those of you who don't follow me on Twitter (which will, in the not too distant future, probably be mandatory...we must all follow each other...the snake will eat its own tail:), I'm on a nearly constant quest to find the best burgers!
I wander far and wide (generally wider, as opposed to farther:)
My search took me the exotic clime's of Near North Scottsdale at Shea Boulevard and Scottsdale Road.
I guess, truth be told, it wasn't so much a search this time, as it was convenient to BevMo...The Beautiful Carin and I were restocking some of our bar...they don't sell Bunnahabhain and 21 year old Glenlivet at Costco:)
And there it was, Indulge Burgers and More...beckoning through the exhaust haze in the parking lot.
This seems to be the "and More" strip mall..."Beverages and More"..."Indulge Burgers and More"..."Pet Market and More"..."Chase Bank and More"...you get the idea:)
My question (and I always have one:) is "more what"?
My personal preference would be for "more cowbell"...how I miss Blue Oyster Cult! :-)
We stashed our little liquid treasures in the trunk (taking extra care not to bruise the scotch:) and walked in.
Indulge's strong suit is not atmosphere...it's a nice enough space, nicely decorated, clean and bright, but it's in that little strip mall at Shea and Scottsdale...not a great spot to sit out on the patio and watch the world go by, while you enjoy your burger.
And you probably will enjoy your burger...Indulge has some pretty decent burgers:)
They have a "set menu" as well as the oh so au courant "build your own burger" menu for your dining pleasure:)
Our server was sweet as pie and took the time to explain what was included, what was optional (pretty much everything, as near as I could tell) and how the process works:)
We decided to create our own burgers...Angus Beef for me and grilled chicken for Carin.
You can add more toppings than a normal bun could possibly hold and make yourself one of those freakish Food Network "Worlds Best Burger" competition kind of things (you know what I mean...Frisbee size patty, 1/2 pound of bacon and gorgonzola, apricots, arugula, avocado, cactus, sprouts, peppers, carrots...well, the list goes on and on and on:)
Another words, enough other crap to completely kill the taste of the burger, if that's your aim:)
But why would you?
These are pretty decent burgers all by themselves...1/3 or 2/3 lbs. of great angus beef (I was born and raised on a cattle ranch and we raised...that's right, black angus cattle...delicious black angus cattle...so I've always had a bias for angus beef:)
Cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and pickles are all you really need, and they are fresh and included with your burger:)
Add in fries and onion strings and I'm usually a pretty happy camper.
Best burger or chicken sandwich in town?...Best Patio?...Best Ambience or Service?
No, unfortunately...but better than most and probably deserving of the title "Best Upscale Burger Joint Next to Where I Buy my Booze"
That's good enough to make me stop when I'm at the crossroads and restocking the bar:)
