Catherine, Liban, and I capped off a SUPER productive Steep&Brew study sesh by eating burgers.
After much pressure to choose a location, my need to try ALL the burgers landed us at DLUX with milkshakes all around. While I knew that I knew that Liban was correct in saying that Tipsy can't be bested by DLUX, the scientist in me had to find out first hand. Plus, we had deals for a free milkshake - plug for Hooked, even though I don't work for them.
I went for the vanilla coconut (over the pumpkin pie... I know, what a mistake) because my attachment to coconut is slowly growing. Catherine, blackberry. Liban, red velvet. I don't know if we ever figured out what that interesting aftertaste was in the blackberry shake, but ultimately Liban liked it more than Catherine, so they switched shakes, as I happily struggled with mine (soooo sweet, tooooo sweet, even my sweet tooth friends said it was sweeeeet) before asking for a to-go cup, bringing it home, and mixing it with a pumpkin porter - fucking delicious in case you were wondering.
(As a side note, I'm now very conscious of parenthesis usage, Audrey.)

The burger of the month was a green chili cheeseburger with bacon, monterey jack, roasted chilies, onion, crispy tortilla strips, and ancho queso sauce. It was the burger I desired upon walking through the door. Because it was the burger that targeted my weakness for foods that remind me of NM. And it was the burger I decided I had to order despite heavily leaning towards the salmon sandwich. But no, Amelia, you must be true to your burger quest!
And it was very... ehhhh. Not ehhhh enough that I regretted it. Just ehhhh enough that I probably won't back to satisfy a burger craving. (The next time I went, it was for Monday night drinks with the FS girls. Fancy venue. Cool waitress. Still go. Especially if you already failed to get a table at Tipsy Cow and Old Fashioned... )
The patty was a bit dry - I always always order medium rare to keep it consistent. The green chiles weren't spicy enough, but I shouldn't take off points for that. And the bun was decent.
I don't have much else to say. The venture persists. And at this point, that's the key fact that everyone knows about me. :)
