Yes I’m on a diet for lack of better words. I told myself that I wouldn’t eat out so much, maybe 2 times a month. I can save with a good mind that just used those two times up. Already.  BGR The Burger Joint is a nice spot I found with my mom one day while exploring Dupont Circle.  Its a new place, with Burgers as colorful and eclectic as its inside decor. I fell in love with the Wellington Burger.

The Wellington

This was by far our most popular burger of the month. Roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, garlic with a touch of mustard seed and blue cheese all atop our burger. Served on a fresh, buttery-toasted brioche bun with our mojo sauce.

Its different whole baby mushrooms with Blue Cheese.  Yes it sounds a bit weird, but guess what? Its yummy, and with someone who has eaten out alot in my hayday. My yaste buds are quiet different. Your talking about someone who once made a Burger with a Bagel and Cream Cheese…well anyway that’s the past :) So anyway back to the Burger Joint.  There is no wait staff, but its a fun little place to sit and have a few good laughs and yummy guilty food.

They have a great menu including the Famous 9 Pound Burger

The 9 Pounder

As featured on The Travel Channel, Food Network, and in an official I.F.O.C. competitive eating contest. Actual weight including bun and condiments is 15.4 pounds. Two heads of lettuce, eight tomatoes, three red onions, four whole pickles and a river of our mojo. Comes with a bottle of Maalox. If one person can eat it in one sitting it’s free.

Tables at BGR

Wondered how that taste…I’m that much of a sweets person to actually try that. Creative though , I think anybody would be bouncing off the walls after that.

Their Lighting Fixtures where cool.

To Go Please…Won’t do that again haha

The picture of my burger doesn’t look so hot…I actually took it home with me, and It got a little soggy by the time my thermos with coffee in it crushed the burger while I was driving. Trust me its good I paired it with a salad not that would have really mattered. I swear it looked neater, and let greasy before they wrapped it haha.
