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.

Southern Flair

I know it's been a while since the Burger Babes have been in action, but we're planning on hitting the pavement to continue our quest for the Twin Cities' best burger soon. This post is in honor of my brother and his new wife who were married this weekend in Kingsport, TN, a place full of southern charm and of course, delicious burgers. While in Kingsport, we had the gastronomical pleasure of visiting Pal's - a burger joint known for it's Sauceburger, shakes, frenchie fries and 32 oz. sweet tea. Now, I'll be honest. I do enjoy the ring the name "Sauceburger" has to it, so perhaps that's part of why I find it so delectable. The famed Sauceburger is your typical fast food burger, done just right and without warranting complaints, smothered with Pal's special sauce. What is the special sauce? No one knows. Our best guess says it's a mix of ketchup, mustard and relish, but whatever it is, it's just plain good. I'd say it's safe to say that most of the wedding guests did not leave Kingsport without a Sauceburger, or two. Up here in Minneapolis, I'm already missing their sweet tea. 
The Groom
I also wanted to include this photo my brother sent me while honeymooning in South Carolina. Looks like a Burger Babe kind of honeymoon! He came across this juicy-looking creation while at Poe's Tavern in Sullivan's Island. This burger boasts pimento cheese and fried onion straws - genius!!! I hear their other burger offerings include one topped with a crabcake and another topped with buffalo shrimp. 


I don't know about you, but I think it's time the Burger Babes take a trip down south. And hey, with old man winter on his way, that might not be such a bad idea.
