BurGR

Hey!

     Welcome back friends check out some of my Vegas eats over this past week. This is my third time eating here and I of course highly recommend this place.  I am pretty sure everyone would recognize this chefs restaurant.  Gordon Ramseys BurGR,  see the capital GR which represents his initials,  so witty!  Anyways its not just wit that this place has, they also have some serious eats to back up the name.  The atmosphere is great with an open kitchen so I personally feel I could hold them accountable for anything they put out.  Table was touched by 3 different servers which is always rare.  The Food is just dang good so check out some of the pics below.

Chanterelle Burger

This one is my favorite but I am partial to chanterelles.  The buns have black sesame seeds as well which I really think makes a big difference in the toastiness and flavor of the grilled bun.  The hand ground burgers are fired over applewood grill and basted with butter..... yes I needed all those dots and the burgers are treated just like a prime cut steak when cooked.  Some nice sauteed chanterelles and hint of truffle accompany the burGR which still have a bit of chew to them so not braised to mush which I appreciate.  This is then finished with some fresh wild arugala and figgy onion jam to cut the richness.  SO GOOD, just a simple yet not so simple burger.  Earthy, sweet, rich, aromatic.  Try it!

Gooey Fries and Honey Sriracha Apps

Not only are these burgers good but the apps give me the same kind of excitement.  The gooey fries weren't on the menu the first time I went.  These wedge cut fries had a smoked gouda sauce with herbs and salami (they had me at smoked gouda).  They throw the cone on a plate table side and top it with an over easy egg table side as well.  This was devoured shortly after this picture was taken.  The wings were great as well, so juicy yet so crispy on the outside even after they were sauced.  My guess is they were brined before breading and the sauce was more sweet and tangy than spicy which my was right up my wife and in-laws alleys.

Pork Belly Pig in a Blanket and the Little Man

I guess one down side to the restaurant was there was no kids menu and I understand that this is the demographic they were going for.  So after careful delliberation the mother and I chose these ramped up pigs in a blanket, and I have to say the best of this type of dish I ever had.  I must have downed half of these myself.  The center was some nice pork belly, wrapped with puff pastry.  This came with curried ketchup and pickled mustard seed.  The mustard seed was like little popping bits of caviarish like goodness.  Gave it a good acidity to balance out the pork belly.

     All I can say is good thing we did not order a side of truffle fries because I went into deep deep food coma after this one.  The burgers hover around 17 to 20 dollars which I know is pretty high for a burger with no fries.  You always have to take a step back and realize the care that goes into some of these dishes, then you realize the food is worth the money.  Great place so yall go try it ya hear!
