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.

Burger Babe in Hawaii

Hawaii, not just for Spam lovers anymore. No really. Feast your eyes on this beauty! This little secret spot is Annie's Burgers and Beer in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. We wandered in after a successful snorkeling adventure to the Captain Cook Monument looking for something to satisfy a swimmers hunger. This monster burger would satisfy even Michael Phelps. The Steakhouse Burger, featuring grass-fed Kona beef, fresh sauteed Hamakua mushrooms, gorgonzola, and arugula. Topped with a parsley caper relish and served on a toasted ciabatta bun. It was delicious and possibly the best burger west of the Mississippi.
