Burgermania!
I can't get enough of Gordon Ramsay. Right now I'm fully immersed in the new seasons of Hell's Kitchen, Kitchen Nightmares, and Master Chef. I even used to watch that show where he would fix hotels with issues. Yeah, a show about a chef that spruces up hotels. I loved it.
So, no surprise, but on one of my trips to Vegas this year, I went to eat at BURGR, which is Gordon Ramsay's burger restaurant. And it was good. I even sat next to the kitchen and there was a chef there from one of the Hell's Kitchen seasons. I felt like we were good friends. You know, since we went through so much together... her being on Hell's Kitchen, me watching it.
Anyway, I love me some burgers. And I have a Vegas burger bucket list of sorts that I've been crossing off this year:

Anyway, I love me some burgers. And I have a Vegas burger bucket list of sorts that I've been crossing off this year:
- Bobby's Burger Palace - I had to go here first. Bobby Flay is the king of burgers (no offense to the creepy Burger King guy). I'm kind of thinking too that this was probably the best place on the list. But you're not going to lose no matter which you choose.
- BURGR - Gordon's place was probably the most expensive on the list, but it felt like the fanciest burger. Plus I got the truffle fries on the side. This place was the busiest on the list too, but I didn't have to wait in line since I was a VIP (or because I was the only loser there by myself and there was a single open). I even got the Hell's Kitchen Burger.
- Fukuburger - This one is a food truck, but probably the most raved about burger place I went to. I had to go to this one just because of all the Yelp love it gets. I caught them at the Las Vegas Foodie Fest. I can't say I was overly impressed, but I would probably go back as it is wallet friendly.
- Fat Burger - This place is a Vegas Strip staple. It claims to be the last great hamburger stand. I loved it.
- Fat Boy Restaurant - This one is a kind of hole in the wall, out of the way place. Great food. If you ever dare to leave the strip on your Vegas vacation, check it out.
- Heart Attack Grill - I haven't been to this one yet. I've seen it on tv. It looks extremely unhealthy and like it should be avoided, which makes me want to go.They're just telling the truth right? All burger and fry places will kill you.
- BLT Burger - I've only heard great things about his place, so I want to check it out one of these days.
- Holstein Shakes and Buns - I always see this one at the top of Yelp reviews, so I'm going to have to check it out. I love me a good shake too.
- KGB - Kerry Simon beat an Iron Chef with his burger. I have to check it out.
- Burger Bar - I pass by this place all the time when I'm at Luxor, but I haven't stopped in yet, but I intend to.
