Check Out This Basic Burger Joint that is Anything but Basic
So let me ruin the ending to this story real quick, Basic Burger is anything but basic. Basic Burger is located in the Pentagon Row outdoor shopping center with a number of other businesses and restaurants, but Basic Burger is like no other.
Basic Burger offers more than just burgers. Whether you are in the mood for a chicken or fish sandwich, or even a hot dog, they can deliver. I am a burger girl. I have to have a good burger every now and then, a cheeseburger to be exact. I don’t know what it is about the cheese and meat between two soft buns that is so appetizing.
The Great 8 Burger was calling me so I answered. This burger has two 1/4 pound patties, two slices of American cheese (nothing melts like American), lettuce, tomato, red onion, pickles (a must have for me on a burger), and Basic Sauce. The burger was juicy, more than filling, and oh that sauce. I will be coming back to the sauce in a minute.
Though I did not taste them, others in my party had the Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich, the Burkey, and the Chicago Dog. The chicken sandwich was fried to perfection and served on a toasted brioche bun. The chicken is marinated in a spicy buttermilk and to kick things up a notch, it is topped with a house hot sauce.
The Basic Dogs, as they are referenced on the menu, are plump juicy all beef hot dogs served with tasty toppings. The Burkey is a 1/4 pound hot dog with grilled onions, cheese, bacon, and Basic Sauce. There’s that sauce again, we’ll come back to that. Now the Chicago Dog. If you are a fan of the Chicago food scene you know Chicago hot dogs are as unique as Chicago pizza. The Chicago Dog is also a 1/4 pound hot dog sprinkled with chopped red onions, banana peppers (adds a unique flair and great color for you photo foodies), relish, tomato slices, mustard, (my fave) a pickle spear, all on a buttery toasted lobster roll.
The Basic Sauce. This sauce, like everything else at Basic Burger, just isn’t basic in my eyes. The sauce is creamy, with a blend of peppery spices to perfectly accompany your burger. Whatever is in that secret sauce, I would put that on everything. As soon as you taste this sauce you’ll want to slather it on everything.
Next to your burger you have to have the Loaded Moo Fries. Drizzled with chipotle ranch, these fries definitely can be shared or even had as a meal. Shoestring fries are covered in scallions, crisp bacon, and shaved Parmesan. The mind blower, the fried egg on top. Don’t think you have to be restricted to fries either. Have a side salad, regular fries, sweet potato fries, onion rings, or fried pickles.
Not feeling a burger or a dog, have a salad. The ‘From the Garden’ section of the menu features a Grilled Chicken Kale Caesar and Grilled Chicken Bistro salad. The salads are generously dressed but not soggy. The salads have fresh vegetables, grilled chicken breast, and a variety of toppings to suit your taste.
Burgers and shakes are just nostalgic and this concept is not lost on Basic Burger. Grab a Moo Shake to go with your burger. I do not know what they put in those shakes but I experienced the mint chocolate chip shake and it was so creamy and delicious, it was beyond expectation. If you’re expecting a basic shake, you will be in for a surprise. Not a shake person? Don’t worry, Basic Burger has Stubborn craft soda, beers (draft and bottled), and a full bar.
Basic Burger takes it back to the basics with 100% certified grass fed Angus beef, fresh vegetables, and their house made sauces. There is something for everybody at Basic Burger. From burgers, to chicken, fish, hot dogs, and even meals for the kiddies. Basic Burger is definitely “redefining basic.”

Hello! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you using for this site? I’m getting fed up of WordPress because I’ve had issues with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform. I would be great if you could point me in the direction of a good platform.

I have realized that in unwanted cameras, specialized detectors help to {focus|concentrate|maintain focus|target|a**** automatically. Those sensors involving some surveillance cameras change in in the area of contrast, while others employ a beam of infra-red (IR) light, specifically in low lumination. Higher standards cameras oftentimes use a blend of both models and will often have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can ‘See’ a new face and focus only upon that. Thank you for sharing your notions on this blog.

One thing I would really like to say is that before purchasing more computer memory, have a look at the machine in to which it could well be installed. If your machine is usually running Windows XP, for instance, the memory threshold is 3.25GB. Adding more than this would simply constitute just a waste. Make certain that one’s mother board can handle this upgrade amount, as well. Great blog post.

Thanks for your post. Another factor is that just being a photographer includes not only difficulties in catching award-winning photographs but additionally hardships in getting the best digital camera suited to your needs and most especially situations in maintaining the standard of your camera. That is very accurate and apparent for those photography fans that are in capturing a nature’s captivating scenes — the mountains, the forests, the actual wild or the seas. Visiting these daring places absolutely requires a digicam that can live up to the wild’s hard surroundings.

Yesterday, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!
