| - It seems that burgers are all the rage right now. Burger joints are popping up all over the Valley. I had heard great things about Zinburger, including from my Tucson in-laws, so my husband and I decided to try the place out.
We arrived at Zinburger at about 7pm on a Saturday night. The place was packed so we grabbed a beer to wait by the bar. Two seats opened up at the bar and we decided to have our dinner there. It was a bit too loud to really have a conversation with the bartenders if we wanted to, plus they seemed very busy, so we looked over the menu and with the recommendation help of some of my Twitter friends, we made a decision on our meal. My husband and I decided to split the Zinburger and the Turkey Burger with a side of Zucchini fries and sweet potato fries. I drank a Widmer and hubby had a couple glasses of Tobin James Zinfandel. A really yummy, jammy inexpensive wine. Our fries came out first and they zucchini fries were fantastic. The sweet potato fries were "so-so" and the dipping sauce that accompanied them had to of been a mistake. It tasted like a cucumber sauce for a Gyro. Our burgers came out and all I gotta say is DELISH. Wow. I wasn't sure about having a turkey burger for dinner, but it was fantastic. Lots of flavor from the garlic in the meat mixture. I wish my hubby had ordered it with the mayo, but it was darn good. The signature burger is the Zinburger and it definitely was tasty. Super savory and juicy from the Manchego Cheese & Zinfandel Braised Onions. I wasn't thrilled to eat warm, super soggy shredded lettuce on the burger though. They should take that off or maybe use an iceberg leaf.
All in all, great burgers. In fact, I now think the Zinburger is my favorite burger. That honor used to go to Delux.
Oh, if you do decide to get some wine, be careful. They charged $10 for a glass of the Tobin James Zinfandel. You can get a bottle of that for about $12-$13 at Cost Plus, etc. The mark up on the glasses of wine are ridiculous.
