Grideli's (South Ogden, UT)
A tray of burgers at Grideli's. And ooh, they even have S.'s favorite: sweet potato fries!
S. got the bleu cheese burger, which is one of her favorites. And this one looked very good when it was served.
But after a few minutes, it started to fall apart. Look how messy S.'s hands out - she hates to get her hands dirty! Some people make their bleu cheese burgers with real, crumbled bleu cheese; others make it by smothering the burger in bleu cheese dressing. Grideli's goes with the second option.
While it was a fine-tasting burger, we are all of the opinion that we prefer bleu cheese crumbles to bleu cheese dressing, for burgers anyway.

Hug Hes (Ogden, UT)
Hug Hes is one of our favorte locally owned restaurants in Ogden. S. especially loves their Cobb Salad, but this isn't a salad blog, so on to the burgers!
V. got the Ultimate Burger.
S. got the halibut burger ($8.49). That's OK for this burger blog, isn't it? We never said it had to be beef burger.
And even though this last picture isn't of a burger, it's one of Hug Hes' signatures: a loaf of beer bread with a raspberry yogurt spread. So delicious.

Cheyenne Mountain Resort (Colorado Springs, CO)
The Cheyenne Mountain Resort served a pretty good burger for just being a lobby bar. We both got the bleu cheese burger. V had waffle fries and S had sweet potato fries.
Look at those baby condiments in the background! A true favorite of S.

The Broadmoor Hotel (Colorado Springs, CO)
The Broadmoor is a legendary hotel. And the food was excellent and easily lived up to the reputation of the hotel. I loved the fancy presentation of the condiments. Presentation is everything.

Jake's Over The Top (Ogden, Utah)
Jake's is famous for their shakes that tower above the rim of the cup, but we are in search of the best burger here!
S's favorite at Jake's is the single burger with ketchup and pickle only. And a side of cheese fries with Jake's dipping sauce. The dipping sauce is their own creation and it's basically BBQ sauce and mayo.
V. got the Jake's Burger. That's the Jake's sauce in the lower right; they serve it unmixed and you can stir it if you want.

Hudson's Hamburgers (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho)
So we know it's very unlikely that we will travel all the way to Coeur d'Alene for lunch, but while there for work we stumbled across an amazing burger. And we do mean amazing.
In a little tiny shop on Sherman Avenue in Coeur d'Alene is Hudson's Hamburgers, which has been in operation there since 1907.
We liked it so much we ate there four times during the week we were in Coeur d'Alene. Yep, four times.
Hudson's is so tiny it only has 17 seats at a counter. No tables. No servers. No hostess. But always a line up of people waiting for a burger. They have the most perfect business model. Burgers, drinks, pie, and nothing else. No chips or fries with that burger. A hamburger costs $2.20 and a double cheeseburger is less than $5.00. They take a handful of ground beef and form the patty right there at the grill. Nothing is frozen.
They have two sauces for which they are famous. One is a spicy mustard and boy was it spicy. Too spicy for S. but V. sure enjoyed it.
After you finished your burger they asked you if you wanted a refill. That's right, another burger. The record is nine double cheeseburgers. Where else can you get a refill on your burger?
nd the way they sliced pickles is beyond description. S. only wishes she had dared to ask them to let her videotape it.
Burger heaven and oh so simple: beef, onion, pickle, and cheese.

Corbin's Grille (Layton, Utah)
Corbin's Grille may be famous for their steaks but their burgers are pretty darn awesome, too. They serve their burgers with steak fries topped with Parmesan cheese.
The dining room is gorgeous and they have the coolest water feature wall in the middle of the dining room.
V. had the 4-steak burger with bleu cheese.
Price: $6.95 (plus a little extra for cheese)
S. had the Stuffed Gorgonzola Burger and thought it tasted delicious. S. likes her steaks and burgers well done and the cheese in this burger made it so it was still juicy. She couldn't even finish her fries because the burger was so big. And that's just a darn shame to leave fries unfinished.
Price: $8.95
S. and V. highly recommend Corbin's Grille!
