Oak Creek Brewery & Grill (Sedona, AZ)

The Oak Creek Brewery & Grill is located in beautiful Sedona, Arizona.  They have two locations: one is at the brewery and they serve beer (of course), hot dogs, and a few appetizers; the other is in the Tlaquepaque area of Sedona and has a full menu.  We ate at the Tlaquepaque location.

The Mushroom Brie Burger - $13.95
A char-broiled  one-half pound Certified Angus beef burger served with brie cheese, sautéed mushrooms, onions, arugula, and steak sauce.

S. asked for the Mushroom and Brie Burger without any Mushrooms.  After getting an odd look from the server, she confirmed that what she really wanted was a brie burger, but that wasn't on the menu.  The server thoughtfully offered to put extra brie on the burger and S. gratefully accepted.  It ended up being a lot of brie.  Too much brie, if there even is such a thing.

The inside of the newly coined "double-brie burger", which was insanely delicious!  The arugula gave the burger a nice crunchy, peppery balance to the soft and gooey brie overloaded on top.

The McBitchen (Anywhere)

A popular choice for high school and college kids everywhere: the McBitchen is a concoction made from just two items off of McDonald's dollar menu.   All you need is one McDouble and one Spicy McChicken.  And by the way, you added that up right, it's two hamburger patties, one slice of chicken, and two whole buns, all for $2.  A bargain lover's delight.  Guest blogger CR says, "It's a whole lotta burger for $2."  But you probably shouldn't make CR's mistake and eat more than one at a sitting.

Let the deconstruction/reconstruction begin:  First, you unwrap your two sandwiches.  Second, you split the burger in half (between the patties) and place the entire chicken sandwich (bun and all) in between the two burger patties.  Third, you squish it all together and enjoy.  

So, the order is like this:

top bun

burger patty

top bun

chicken patty

bottom bun

burger patty

bottom bun

And mixed throughout is the lettuce and other condiments that come with the sandwiches.  We are equal opportunity burger bloggers, you won't find any burger snobbery here.  

Behold the glorious masterpiece:

Honolulu Grill (St. George, UT)

The Honolulu Grill in St. George, Utah features authentic Hawaiian dishes, like loco moco, plate lunch, musubi, shave ice, katsu chicken, and noodle bowls, just to name a few.

Our theory: just because you throw some pineapple on something, does not make it Hawaiian (we're talking to you, so-called-Hawaiian ham and pineapple pizza).  This burger proves once and for all you don't have to have a slab of pineapple on it to be called Hawaiian.

Because teriyaki beef is such a typical Hawaiian dish, the Honolulu Grill serves a burger with teriyaki beef piled on it.

Honolulu Burger $7.50 (cheese .25 and onion rings .50 extra)

Guest blogger CR is still dreaming about the Honolulu Burger weeks later.  He said,  "The teriyaki beef on top of the ground beef, combined with the teriyaki sauce was perfect.  I liked that the bun offered enough structure that it didn't all fall apart; with that much meat and that much sauce, it was a lot of burger."  In a word, CR says it's ono - the Hawaiian word for delicious.  Now only, if we could've actually been eating it on the beach in Honolulu.  Oh to dream.

Now that's a mouthful.
