| - Well, it finally happened. The Burger Guy found a burger in Arizona so inspiring it's motivated me to come out of hiding. In case you're wondering, which you're probably not, because you live in AZ and likely have no idea who I am, but if you were wondering... I moved to Phoenix, AZ five years ago and retired the LA Burger Tour. I may resume it one day, as I still hear about new awesome burger places in LA I haven't tried. Anyway, on to the review!
The Burger - 9 (out of 10)
As previously mentioned, the Burger Guy has lived in the Phoenix area (the Valley of the Sun as it's locally known) for five years, and you can bet hundreds of Phoenix burgers were consumed in that time. Well folks, I can confidently and definitively say this is the best burger in the Valley, (Ok ok well it's my favorite at least). Often the best burgers need the fewest words, so I'll keep the description short. These are almost certainly the thinnest burger patties I've ever come across, and I'm sure that is part of the magic. The bun, meat, and cheese all come together in perfect harmony, and I would say the key word with this burger is cohesive. The flavors just blend together wonderfully. Get it anyway you like, but I strongly recommend the triple. It's the perfect meat to bun ratio. The Burger Guy likes his with both kinds of cheese, bacon, grilled onions, lettuce, pickle, and the holy trifecta of sauces (one of the few burgers I like ketchup on). This may be my favorite basic burger in the world!
If you get a chance to meet the owner, David, you will see the passion that is behind this truly special burger. The whole staff is awesome and will make you feel like a welcome friend.
