Zinburger

Did you know that this week is Restaurant Week in Phoenix?  There are approximately 50 restaurants that participate.  My girlfriends and I love this week because it gives us the opportunity to try restaurants we otherwise may not, due to price, because they offer 3-4 courses for only $29 or $39.  It’s truly awesome.

Well, last night, we went to Zinbuger at the Biltmore.  Their menu includes burgers, salads, fries and desserts.  And let me tell you, hands down, the best burger I have ever had.

We sat up at the bar inside, facing south.  They open up the window wall on the south side of the bar, which is also connected to a very large outside patio that practically loops the whole restaurant. Once the tempuratures drop, I can see this place being a hot spot for happy hour.

Ready to dive in, I ordered the Zinburger, and Dena ordered the Ahi Tuna Salad.  The burger was served on an incredibly soft bun, made of combined wheat and white bread, topped with Zinfandel braised onions, Manchego cheese, and mayo.  However, I substituted the mayo for bar-b-que sauce, and added Applewood smoked bacon.  Cooked medium, which is slightly pink, every bite was so moist and juicy …..AWESOME!

As our side dish, we shared a basket of sweet potato fries with a yogurt dipping sauce.  And to end the evening appropriately, we ordered a cookies n’cream shake, as well as a chocolate cream pie.  WOW!!  That is all I have to say about that.

This is definitely a place you should check out for yourself. Next?
