Our Mission

As two women who aren't afraid to clean our plates, we're touring the Twin Cites to find the tastiest and most unique burgers these two food-loving cities have to offer.

The Challenge: To sample one burger from a different Twin Cities restaurant each week and evaluate the entire experience. Since our expanded food budget will limit our ability to purchase a new wardrobe, using bikes as a mode of transportation is a must.
The Burgers: We've developed a list based on recommendations from others, notoriety, and our own curiosity. Have suggestions? Please share.
The Evaluation: Contrary to the stereotypical "burger eater," we're here to savor every morsel and recognize a good burger for characteristics like creative flavor combinations and quality of ingredients. Because we all know a bad pickle can ruin an otherwise fabulous cheeseburger, we're paying attention to the details.
Why? Besides the fact that we like to know in advance what we're eating so we can spend days salivating over it, we're here to offer our female perspective on the Twin Cities' most sublime burger creations so you can make informed choices. So next time you have a burger craving, check here first. You can thank us later.

The Anchor Fish and Chips

Burger Name: The Helicopter Burger

Knowing we were visiting an establishment boasting an award-winning burger, we were expecting good things to come out of the Anchor Bar. An indulgent combination of grass-fed beef, Irish cheddar, a fried egg and Canadian bacon-style ham left us wanting to honor this delectable creation with our own award. Although we have only sampled one other burger as part of our journey, this burger is currently tops on our list. We're putting it up on this pedestal for it's toasty, buttery and not too cumbersome bun; the tangy and creamy Irish cheddar; and the not-too-salty yet breakfast-reminiscent ham. We both agreed that this burger has the potential to be the ultimate cure for a late night overindulgence. To contrast with The Butcher Block fried egg burger, this one had no lettuce and no 'special' sauce. The bun was toasted on the grill which was nice because it was moist and buttery, not like trying to swallow saltines on a hot day.

The Conclusion: Again, this burger is #1 in our books at this point in time. Although we have only sampled one other burger on our tour, we can't help but compare it to other burgers we have eaten in the past. We're sure their fish and chips also merit a visit to this quaint NE establishment, but if you're craving a burger, this is the place to go.
