DREW BURGER

DINNER AT HOME

When in Hawaii, my Drew Burger is my favorite Burger on the planet.  When on the mainland I go for In N' Out.  This is my copy of an In N' Out Burger and the entire family loves them.

DINNER AT HOME

Doing a test run of making my Drew Burger before serving over 100 of them to customers and friends this coming week.  Worked out details like using a Mandolin to cut the onions and tomatoes to the perfect thickness and how to wrap and package so the burger doesn't slide out the back.  Also made a slight adjustment to my sauce.  We have the process down and now need to execute the delivery of over a hundred Drew Burgers.  Let's do this!

EVERY BURGER WILL BE MADE THE SAME EXACT WAY.  NO SUBSTITUTIONS OR SPECIAL ORDERS

SAN DIEGO, CA 

When I mentioned to my friend from San Diego that I wanted to hit In N' Out Burger while in town, he quickly said that I should try Five Guys instead.  He said that they had great burgers and fries.  I punched Five Guys into the old GPS and bingo there was one just a few minutes away from my hotel.  I had never heard of Five Guys.  When you walk in, there are signs all over the place boasting press clippings that say this is the best burger ever.  Turns out that there are Five Guys all over the country.  News to me.  The Five Guys menu and concept is very similar to In N' Out Burger.  Very limited and a dedication to quality ingredients.  At Five Guys you can order a Hamburger, Cheeseburger or Bacon Cheeseburger.  The toppings are free and include Mayo, Lettuce, Pickles, Tomatoes, Grilled Onions, Grilled Mushrooms, Ketchup and Mustard.  For extras you can get Relish, Onions, Jalapeno Peppers, Green Peppers, A1 Steak Sauce, BBQ Sauce or Hot Sauce.  A Single "Little" Burger is $3.69.  The "Little" Cheeseburger is $4.29.  There are also Hot Dogs and Grilled Cheese and Veggie Sandwiches on the menu.  Fries come standard or Cajun style and run $2.69 for a regular order and $4.99 for a large order.  I tried the "Little" Cheeseburger which is a one patty burger with 550 calories.  They print the calories on the menu.   First thing you notice and Five Guys is that there are bins of salted peanuts at the entrance.  You can scoop up as much as you want for free.  The shells get thrown on the floor.  Free peanuts.  Not a bad start.  My first bite of the burger was incredible.  I tasted the burger, the cheese, the tomato and the onion.  Wow.....after two bites I wish that I could eat two.  It was just that good.  This is an awesome burger.  Better than In N' Out?  Maybe......I need to go back and try another one before I make that call.  The Fries and Five Guys are excellent.  Fresh cut spuds cooked to a nice brown color.  Great with Ketchup.  UPDATE:  I went back and had another one of these bad boys.  This time added relish and jalapenos to my burger.  THE BOMB.  THIS PLACE IS GOOD!!!!

HONOLULU, HAWAII 

Kahai Street rocks once again with the most unbelievably good burgers in Hawaii.  I had to try this monster when it appeared on their ever changing menu.  Kahai Street emails a new menu each day.  You never know what is going to show up on the menu.  Everything from Beef Wellington to Bacon Wrapped Hot Dogs with Chile and Cheese.  On this day, there was a burger topped with pastrami, bacon, cheese, sauerkraut, lettuce, tomato and onion served with sweet potato fries.  This thing was the "bomb".  So delicious.  I held myself to only eating half.  Wanted to eat the entire burger but did not.
