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.

Bulldog NE

Burger Name: House Burger


Since Bulldog NE is a dog-friendly restaurant (except to a certain french bulldog we know) and our dogs were smelling fresh thanks to recent trips to Ollu Dog Wash, we considered bringing them along. After some thought, we decided to keep to our bikes and fill the dogs in later. With numerous burgers on the menu to choose from, we weren't sure which one to sample. Similar to our visit to Monte Carlo, we decided to go with their House Burger, which came with a regular toasted bun, butter lettuce, tomato and red onion. We appreciated the juicy, specially seasoned Kobe beef and thought overall the burger was reminiscent of one you would enjoy at a backyard BBQ. This burger is one that could be ordered over and over again without diner's remorse. We also sampled the Chimay Burger, which came with Chimay beer cheese, beer mayo, lettuce, red onion on a slippery brioche bun. Although we probably won't recommend this one to friends, it might be suitable for a crab fisherman who had just returned from months at sea.
The Conclusion: With Kobe beef and numerous creative burger selections, Bulldog NE is one of the top dogs in the Twin Cities burger world. Pair a burger with a side of their house-made truffle fries (warning: addictive) and you've got a meal that you won't want to be slipping under the table to Fido. Don't forget to save room for dessert; the homemade cupcakes are not to be missed. Go when the weather is nice and you can take advantage of their plentiful outdoor seating. Just make sure to go early - as one of the Nordeast neighborhood's hot spots, it fills up fast.
House Burger - $8.00; Chimay Burger - $12.00
