Rope yourself a good burger
Not too long ago, Sally and I had the pleasure of stopping in at Rodeo Burgers. This new burger spot is on the University of Alberta campus, across from the hospital.
It’s also a fantastic place to get a burger.
The patties are a little bit thinner than you might be used to, but you can always load your burger up with toppings, including a homemade relish. I’m kicking myself for not noticing the homemade relish until after I had my food. Next time…
You could also get an extra patty or two, to beef up your meal.
The fries come with a spice or nice and salty. We had the salted version, and you can see in the photo above that they appear to be freshly cut potatoes. They were great. And came in a fun, generic, fry container.
I took a peek inside the bun before eating.
The burgers do take a few minutes to make, again we’re talking about fresher food, but they are well worth it. And if you pile it up with condiments and veggies you are in for one of those parties in your mouth where everyone is invited.
That it can get a little messy only adds to the appeal, in my opinion.
Oh, and before I forget, go for the sauteed onions. You’re welcome.
Sally went for the veggie burger, which she reports is quite good.
The food is more expensive than your average burger or fast food joint, but it’s fresher, tastier, and you can get a beer. I don’t know how that last one means anything to the price of a burger and fries, but it’s somehow worth mentioning.
Ride on down to Rodeo Burgers the next time you’ve got a hankerin’ for a burger. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see another Rodeo or two pop up around Edmonton.
