The Big Mouth Vinnie Burger

The Big Mouth Vinnie Burger at Teluwut Grille House and Pub in Osage, Iowa. This beast is named after Vinnie Wagner, who was a friend/classmate/wrestling teamate of mine in high school. He also happens to be the owners son. The Big Mouth Vinnie tests your mouth and jaw fitness with two 1/3 pound patties, melted american and swiss cheese, 4 strips of bacon, lettuce, tomato, 6 onion rings, ranch, and BBQ sauce.

"Bacon Cheeseburger" - Jody's Drive-In, Take Out

This is my first visit to Jody's since it changed ownership on February 1, 2011. The new owner is friendly and cooked our burgers herself. She told me the only difference in the burgers is that she uses 100% Ground Chuck patties. I wasn't up for my usual Clogger so I ordered a Bacon Cheeseburger. This is a pretty good burger and it only costs $6.50. The new patty was great and this is another solid burger offering from Jody's. Nothing fancy in this staple bacon cheese, try one out and tell me what you think!

Can't Miss Beer Burger - The Owl's Nest, Sunriver, Oregon

Certified Angus Beef ground chuck burger served on a pretzel roll then topped with Obsidian Stout beer butter, Tillamook® cheddar cheese and beer battered onion rings. Served with our delicious French fries. I thought the onion rings on top were a little much, but overall pretty good. The pretzel roll was also an interesting touch. But really, anything soaked in Beer sounds pretty good to me.

Dinker's - Omaha's Best Burger?

Western Burger with BBQ Sauce - Claimed to be another one of Omaha's "Best Burger Joints!" Dinkers is located off of I-480 and the Martha Street exit. They offer lots of different affordable burgers but my favorite is the Western Burger with BBQ sauce. Your burger comes with a side of onion rings, potato chips or french fries and they will even mix it up and give you half fries and half rings. Wow! Friendly service in a tavern like atmosphere It was delicious!

Louis Burger Lust

Louis Burger Lust - located on 17th and Vinton Street in the historical commercial district of Omaha, Nebraska. Louis Burger Lust offers up one of Omaha's best signature "phatty" burgers. Competitively priced and well proportioned, Louis menu contains an array of burger classics! We tried two of their burgers. I ordered the Swiss Cheeseburger piled high with lettuce, onion, pickles, and tomato. Zippy got the Protein Enhanced Egg n' Bacon cheeseburger! Both burgers were quite tasty! All served up in a small diner with plenty of local flavor! Next up...Stellas!

Direct blog from Laura Friesell and Jon Zimmerman in Omaha.

Nice Laura and Zippy! My first blog from Omaha. I want to come back for more food and good company and of course when you get to Oregon the first burger is on me! Mike

Cheeseburger at 7,500 feet on Mt. Bachelor, Oregon

Mt. Bachelor offers a unique summer dining experience that they call Sunset Dinners. My folks were visiting for the 4th of July weekend so we decided to give it a try. It is definatley not a burger joint and the menu is good but also on the expensive side. Of course they had a burger on the menu and I couldn't resist. I was pleasantly surprised! It was a hand patted Angus beef burger with a home made bun and it was quite good. It was $12.95 for the burger and fries which was OK considering the burger comes with an amzaing view! I don't think I will make the drive to the Mt. Bachelor parking lot and then take the Pine Martin lift to 7,500 feet just for this burger but the whole experience is what it is about and overall I was satisfied. They have a nice happy hour with amazing views of the Central Cascades and the chairlift ride is incredibly scenic. Check it out if you are ever in the Bend area in the summer.

New Top 5 List

#1 - The Tavern Burger, Pilot Butte Drive-In, Bend, OR
#2 - The Clogger, Jody's Tavern, Redmond, OR
#3 - The Special (aka the World's Greatest Hamburger), Stanich's, Portland, OR
#4 - Aron's Cardiac Burger, 3 Creeks Brewery, Sisters, OR
#5 - The Grand Daddy, Dandy's, Bend, OR
#6 - The Lumberjack, Winston Drive-IN, Winston, OR

I have gone back and forth on the Tavern Burger in the past several years...but it is back on top! Very good hamburger! Compare it to the Aron's Cardiac at 3 Creeks Brewery, the Tavern is bigger and better and cheaper than the Cardiac. The Cardiac is VERY good and much less greasy than the Tavern, but the Tavern is #1 for a reason!
