| - Burgers are probably one of my favorite foods in the whole wide world. I mean....bread, meat, cheese, and stuff - nothing better than that.
I crave them on a regular basis.
At least 4 times a day.
So while in Vegas, I looked for burgers. And my research was made pretty easy because they are EVERYWHERE. Food trucks, chains, gourmet (hello Hubert!)...you name it. And then I stumbled upon Holsteins reviews, and I read a couple of magic words: spiked shakes.
I was sold.
Turns out, that was a pretty good choice. Holsteins actually uses the tender meat of its namesake breed of cow/beef and the result is a juicy, flavorful patty of deliciousness.
******Nerdy time: Did you know?**********
1. Holsteins are little Dutch princesses. Read: The Netherlands are their country of origin. I hear that their mooing is quite harsh to the ears, and they love eating tulips and gouda, but not always together.
2. They are the highest milk producers in the world. Hence the MILK shakes, duh. They are the lovely black and white "meu-meu" of my childhood, and I love 'em.
3. One of them - Pauline Wayne if you please - was the official pet of President Taft and was allowed to graze on the White House lawn, the lucky bitch.
********End of Nerdy TIme***************
The sad thing? They are only in Vegas.
The good thing? Since you are reading these reviews on Yelp, you are most likely in Vegas and can enjoy without gilt.
Hurray!
We shared the Gold Standard with dry aged sirloin, smoked bacon, aged goat cheddar cheese, tomato confit, baby aregula and garlic-chive aioli (at a whooping $17.40), and the Steakhouse Burger, a patty crusted with black pepper, Holsteins own creamy steak sauce, marmelade onions, tomato confit, wild mushrooms and Swiss cheese.
And people, that was pretty close to perfection. Great combination of flavors, a medium rare meat at its best, crispy fries and a Grasshopper milk shake.....aahhhhh....
Leave your calorie counter at home, in the hotel room or in your pocket. Just enjoy.
