Next up, The Who Dat Burger from Swamp Daddy s Cajun Kitchen.
The Who Dat Burger is described as, The Who Dat burger has a house patty blend of chuck beef, short rib and andouille sausage topped with pepper jack and American cheese layered with a homemade bourbon bacon jam, and fried onions, crisp lettuce, and tomato on a brioche bun and finished with our Mardi Gras glaze!
The andouille sausage was a great addition to this burger. Added a little bit of spice and is obviously very prevalent in Cajun cooking.
The only thing that didn t quite work for me was the Mardi Gras glaze, which was such a bummer because I loved the look of it. The burger was topped with what I think was colored sugar in Mardi Gras colors. It was purple, gold, and green. It looked really cool, but if you got a bite with a lot of it, it was too much.
Moving right along to Falls Landing s The Toon Burger.
The Toon Burger is described as, Falls Landing’s 2021 Burger Battle is taking it back to our youth. A burger that looks straight out of your favorite cartoon. It’s an animated twist on an American classic. A half pound beef brisket patty topped with buffalo milk mozzarella, bonfire bacon, technicolor onions, sliced pickles, tomato, and shredded romaine. Served on a potato bun with a side of our TOP SECRET SAUCE! And don’t forget our Toon Fries, shoestrings tossed in cheddar cheez dust. Come and try our Toon Burger before Mr. Krabs steals our Secret Sauce recipe, or even worse Plankton!
This year there are 24 burgers competing. Challenge accepted.
I ve previously told you all about The Farmer s Breakfast Burger at Wiley s and the Sriracha Chili Bacon Cheese Burger at Phillips Avenue Diner. Both great contenders. Then there was the Burger Wellington at Bread & Circus and The Santa Fe Chimi Burger at The Holiday Inn City Centre. The last burgers we discussed was Dr. Love at Pave and Blarney Stone s The Golden Porker.
The contender on the menu today is The Uptowner from Papa Woody s Wood Fired Pizza. Yes, you read that correctly. They usually do pizza, however, their offering for the Burger Battle was legit.
Next up is DaDa Gastropub s BURGER #5 – ATTN: It’s messy. The name could use some work.
DaDa Gastropub was formerly Icon Event Hall. I must say, I liked what they did with the place. The décor was very eclectic and fun. Nothing really matches, but because it s all different, it somehow still works together. Does that make sense?
My favorite was an old bowling alley chair/bench and some fun bowling pins as decoration. I love a good bowling reference.
Ok, enough about the ambiance, let s get to the burger.
The BURGER #5 – ATTN: It’s messy is described as, Double bacon burger, white cheddar, egg, house pickles, DaDa Sauce, swirly fries.
