Burger Fix: part 2

Boogies Burgers, Calgary

I had another craving for a burger, and this time it was daytime so I had a few more options. I have been hearing a lot of good things about this place called, Boogies Burgers, on Edmonton Trail so I had to go and check it out. Luckily, I live nearby so it was just a quick drive up the hill.

Boogies Menu. A great selection of signature burgers, or build your own.

As you can see, the place is bright and clean. Service is friendly and fast. The food is all made to order so it's delicious. Today, I opted for one of the signature burgers, "Shawn's Burger". It is a triple patty monstrosity with cheese, bacon and fried egg with Boogie's Signature Red Sauce and all the fixings. They even bring you a steak knife in case you can't fit the thing in your mouth. Good sign.

Shawn's Burger. I added the cell phone for size reference.

With a burger this size, I wasn't gonna order fries but they do have 3 kinds of fries; regular, spicy and yam. Of course, what burger joint would be complete without onion rings. They got the rings too. The sign of a good burger is one where you can appreciate the taste of the meat, rather than the fixings all over it. Though this burger had a lot of 'stuff', I could really taste the freshness of the beef. In fact, the Boogies red sauce is not overwhelming, but compliments the overall taste of the whole burger. Sorry for getting too deep.

I ate the whole thing. WOOT!

Verdict? With places like this, I can really appreciate living in Calgary. Why do I say that? When you have a hometown, you need these kind of places that are unique...places you miss when you go away. Places you tell your foreign friends about. Dining, whether it's an elegant night on the town with a hot date or a quick lunch at a great burger joint, is an experience. So go experience Boogies Burgers!
