Burgers on the Edge Scores a "Hang 10" in Hawaii

Pickles

First I'd like to apologize for my long absence from the burger blogging world. Don't worry, I haven't turned vegan or anything like that. I've been eating them; just haven't been writing about it! Recently I vacationed in Hawaii and discovered that it's not all just pineapples and Spam out there. We had one of the best burger experiences of the tour thus far. In a mouthful: delectable; mouthwatering; awesome. Burgers on the Edge has possibly the coolest logo yet (the 'e' is a burger!) and the goods to back it up. Oh sure, being in Hawaii made it that much better, especially when you can sit outside to enjoy your meal. But the Burger Crew has had enough burgers to know the real deal. Besides, we also ate at Tiki Burger and although tasty, it wasn't worth a blogging. I can tell you immediately that for me, the big stand-out was having Baconnaise as a topping. This is nirvana in a jar and seldom seen. Find it. Spread it. Eat it. Although the premises was small, the menu was extensive with eight "Edge Favourites" plus the 'classic'. You can also invent your own, which I did, because I had a certain hankerin'. My sirloin (choice of Kobe as well) burger had guacamole, crispy onions, pepperjack cheese and (wait for it) baconnaise. Oh yes, I said it. I've had this delectable sauce before, but never have I seen in offered in a burger joint. All I can say is awe-inspiring. Possibly the best burger ever. Fresh fluffy bun, juicy flame-broiled beef, fantastic toppings...Thank you Hawaii. Everything was fresh and exploding with flavour.

We were lucky enough to have Frau Burgerfresser along for the tour and she went for the healthy sounding Malibu. Check out the menu photo for the toppings. The Thousand Islands dressing was a nice addition to the sauces and not something you often see here. Burgermeister had the Antidote and the Hamburglar indulged in the King Arthur. Naturally, always reliable Small Fry went for the classic. Everyone scored their burgers a minimum of 9. Nothing is ever perfect in burgerland and sadly the fries were lacking. I found them edible but Small Fry gave them a "5", and he is our fry guy. I also always enjoy it when a burger place offers shakes. It just seems right. The Edge also offered The Parisienne, a $16.98 kobe bohemoth featuring foie gras, carmelized apples, a red wine reduction sauce and sauteed onions. A specialty burger like this would run you about $50 in Toronto. These burgers were massive and fairly priced. Overall, we bestowed solid 9s across the board on Burgers on the Edge. In fact, after I sadly left for home, the remaining Burger Crew Members brazenly returned to the Edge and indulged again. Not a lot of loyalty amongst the burger eaters. Et tu, Beefy? My only regret is that Burger on the Edge is in Hawaii, and I feel that I am merely teasing you, loyal readers, with something that you may never be able to experience.

The Beef Goes On...
