Do it yourself Bratzel Burger (video link)


This mammoth shrine to gluttony, combines two midwest bar food staples into one awesome and heavy burger. Take a bratwurst, slice it in half and spread it atop a hefty all beef patty, smother it in cheese and  top it with bacon, squeeze it inside of a modest sized pretzel roll, and you have the Bratzel. The version served at the Draft House, will make even the snobbiest of Burger experts turn a smile. The smoky flavors of the bacon and bratwurst compliment the juicy burger and the bun is soft, chewy and holds the burger together surprisingly well.
  
                                                                                                                                                                 

2. Kinoko Burger- Fuku Burger Truck Wagon (menu here)

Cost: $7

Expected Flavors: Sweet, Pickly, Slightly Spicy, Hearty

Expected Textures: Meaty, Squishy, Moist and Oozy

Make your own Teriyaki Burger (Here)

The praises of Fuku Burger in Las Vegas have been earned by the amount of love they put into creating their food. I've tried everything on the menu at least a few times and have never walked away disappointed. That being said, The Kinoko Burger is probably the most unique and flavor packed burger on the menu. The Kinoko is a teriyaki burger topped with shitake mushrooms, pickled ginger and wasabi mayo. Heat from the wasabi and ginger seem to mellow and blend well with the sweet flavor of the glaze and bun. While the mushrooms give a feeling and texture of a much fuller burger than it really is. For those with a big appetite, I recommend getting an order of the gravy covered Jazz Fries as well (pictured above).

3. Hangover Breakfast Burger- Binion's Cafe inside Binion's Casino (menu here)

Cost: $9.75

Expected Flavors: Salty, Slightly Sweet, A bit of Smokiness

Textures: Crunchy, Gooey, Juicy and Soft.

Killer Bacon Egg and Cheese Burger recipe (here)

The burger patties at this best kept secret are made to order from an on premise butcher shop. Usually when a place has one of these, you can expect a fresh and quality patty. The hangover burger delivers in every way. The patty is large, moist, packed with flavor, and topped with egg, sauteed onions, bacon and cheese. Cooked to perfection.
