Fit to be Square

Everyone in Philly’s familiar with Rittenhouse Square. It’s pretty much the hub of Center City west of Broad Street. You go there to see and be seen. To dog watch, people watch, read a book, meet your friends, eat some fro-yo, take a nap, etc. But just a few blocks is a different square – Fitler …

N3RD BURGER

Don’t be alarmed by the “leetspeak” title of this post. I haven’t been hacked; just paying tribute to this week’s burger from North Third (or N.3rd), tucked away in the Northern Liberties neighborhood on – where else? – North 3rd street. This is another one of those “been meaning to get here forever” places, but every time …

A FOND FAREWELL

When I first set out to find the best burger in Philadelphia in 2011, I never dreamed that I would have kept at it this long. But in recent months, it’s become harder & harder to try and come up with posting material. Not because I’ve grown tired of eating burgers, but simply because it …

2016 BURGER BRAWL

Hello again! I know it’s been a while, but I came out of retirement this weekend and put my burger eatin’ pants on to check out the 6th annual Philadelphia Burger Brawl. I last attended the event back in 2013, but was glad to see it has gotten bigger (moving down to Xfinity Live!) and better since then …

LAST ONE OUT OF FLAVORTOWN

This week we celebrated July 4th, which means we are smack dab in the middle of summer. And what are two things that are synonymous with summer? Burgers and outdoor concerts. A few years ago, I showcased burgers at some local venues here in Philly. And while BB&T Pavillion (AKA Susquehanna Bank Center AKA Tweeter Center, depending on how …

KONNICHIWA, BURGERS!

I’ve eaten a lot of burgers in the past few years. While most of them have been in Philadelphia, I’ve also taken my burger adventures to Seattle, Vegas, Portland, NYC, Nashville, and Louisville. That’s some pretty good domestic coverage! Well, I figured it was time to take my skills (aka my burger-loving palate) overseas on a …

KFB (KOREAN FRIED BURGER)

Now that I’ve gotten back into the burger eating game, I’ve been trying to find new, interesting & off-beaten path burgers to check out around Philly. I remembered reading about Southgate‘s Bulgogi burger a while back so I figured I would add it into my rotation. Then, while checking out their menu online, I discovered that their brunch …

NO KID HUNGRY

This summer sure has been a hot one! Feeling like I’m walking on the surface of the sun every time I leave the house has limited my usual burger-eating enjoyment, as well as impeded my backyard BBQing (Who wants to stand in front of a grill when it feels like 105 degrees out?). Luckily the …
