The 5 Most Audacious Burgers In North America

by Mr. Lew, Burger Expert for the Menuism Burger Blog

Let's face it, you can get a burger nearly anywhere you go. And while a lot of those burgers are the same, a few stand out. I've chosen five burgers that are audaciously outside the box, and intriguing enough to try if you dare.

In 2008, "Man v. Food" host Adam Richman visited the Vortex in Atlanta. From the decor to the staff to the food, the Vortex is unique, making it a must-stop spot for tourists. Featured on that episode of Man v. Food was a burger that has the ability to impress, if not to give one a massive stroke.

This burger contains two fried eggs, six slices of American cheese and eight slices of bacon, which are served between not one, but two, grilled cheese sandwiches. It takes a brave heart to attempt to eat this.

The 5 Most Audacious Burgers in North America originally published on the Menuism Burger Blog

Mr. Lew is a high school teacher from Montreal, Quebec. In 2009, after trying Montreal's supposed best burger, he decided to see what else was out there. So, every week, a new burger was added to the Great Burger Search. Since then, Mr. Lew has tried more than 100 burgers in cities across Canada, and hopes to one day expand to the rest of North America. Since Mr. Lew is part Chinese, the search isn't limited only to great burgers, but to other types of cuisine that makes Montreal one of the greatest culinary cities in the world.

The Poutine burger sounds alright. If you have never tried Poutine, you are missing out. Find cheese curds or come to Canada, asap.

Forget all these burgers. Just give me those onion rings and I'll back away quietly.

Interesting sandwiches, the poutine burger reminds me of a favorite from Belgium, the Mitraillette, a baguette in a brochette, topped with frites and your choice of sauce, such as curry ketchup! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitraillette

A steady diet of these and you won't need to worry about health care. You won't need it any longer.

Bill Maher mentioned that Krispy Kreme burger in his New Rules segment a while back: "Part of the baseball team's new slogan 'Eat ---- and Die."

My upscale concept burger: 6oz patty blended from equal parts tenderloin, short rib, and oxtail, topped with triple-creme brie, champagne shallot marmalade, tempura leek rings, and black truffle brown butter mayonnaise on a round croissant.

I was watching a program on the travel channel and there is a place that serves a cheeseburger with every topping imaginable including ice cream and hot fudge sauce.
