| - Ah the first destination of gluttony was at The Burger Bar @ Mandalay Bay. Not only was the gf and I hungry after making our way down to Vegas, we were starting to get grumpy about it.
The wait time: 25 minutes.
The gf really didnt want to wait, but lucky enough she decided to do so or I would have missed out on what could have been...a great experience.
During the wait, I stayed thirsty and ordered a Deadlift IPA. Being a gym junkie, I got the badge on my IPhone to prove it, I went with the Deadlift IPA just because a deadlift was a exercise. lol.
The 9 oz's of golden brown liquid was filled in a wine shaped glass. Why couldnt restaurants serve IPA's in a schooner. 33oz of great beer would eliminate the hassle of reordering. Id be down for that. Not your standard beer, on a empty stomach, you can get tipsy quickly. As I grabbed my beer, the bartender forgets to even ring me up as I stood there waiting for the bill. Our table was ready and I was not about to stand there waiting for a bill so I took it with me to the table. Already, this place was a ++++ for me. Did I just get this right? A free beer? Hell yea!
We sat down and looked over the menu. Kobe burger was the only option for me but I was debating if foi gras for a extra $30 even worth it. The gf rejected the notion of me eating a $60 burger so I parted ways and decided to go with some toppings.
Kobe burger........and then some.
-Avocados
-Coleslaw
- American cheese
- Bacon
- Grilled Onions
The total for my burger alone was $26. All that was missing was a fried egg, in which the restaurant wanted to serve scrambled due to the recent egg scares. I ended up passing on it, but I knew a fried egg would have made it even better.
Oh and it doesnt end there. I got an order of sweet potato fries and a Caramel Latte Milkshake.
If your going to do it, DO IT BIG! That is just what I did.
The gf had a Angus burger w/ aioli and skinny fries.
As expected, when our burgers came out, Kobe beef is Kobe beef. I tried both the Angus and Kobe and was able to make a direct comparison. Hell, even in a blind taste test, I would be able to differentiate Kobe beef with Angus Beef. The very first bite of the Kobe burger and the juices gushes all over my hands. The texture was so soft and moist. Each bite took very little effort as the Kobe beef melted away in my mouth.
The Caramel Latte Milkshake was made of coffee ice-cream, caramel syrup, graham crackers, and butterscotch morsels. My god, it made me wonder what the other milkshakes tasted like because this one was just indescribable in words. Any explanation would be unjustified.
The Burger Bar got me. It got me good. Definitely a must try if you want a great burger.
