8 oz. Burger Bar – Miami Beach, Florida

I had wanted to eat at 8oz. Burger Bar last week but I was still recovering from my trip to Atlanta. Now semi-recovered, Marcela was not able to accompany me so Michelle went instead. With no Marcela around, I was now free to go crazy and order away. For starters we ordered their Kobe Beef Corn Dogs and Buffalo Drumettes. Great batter on the corn dogs and the purple mustard, which tasted great were a nice combo. We liked the Buffalo Drumettes but found the sauce served on the side to be odd tasting, not bad just odd. Michelle orders herself a Thai Gimlet whatever the hell that is and she likes it. As Michelle places her order, Christy, our server proceeds to let her know that the Turkey Burger has Turkey. An amazing revelation ladies and gentleman. Just kidding. She did actually say that but as she caught her mistake, it was too late. Actually Christy was a blast, a bad dancer but a blast. Getting back to the task at hand, food. Michelle has her Turkey Burger with cave aged gruyere cheese & bacon. I order my 8oz.(this is straight from their site: are made using only humanely raised, hormone-free Black Angus sirloin, short rib and chuck. Meat is ground in-house then aged in a Himalayan salt-tiled meat locker before being grilled on live oak.) with roasted mushrooms and fried mozzarella. We also try the Short Rib Grilled Cheese (onion marmalade, bel paese cheese), bel paese where have you been all my life? As well as sides of Kennebec Fries, Stout battered onion rings and Truffled potato skins. I told you I was out of control. Michelle said that this was the best Turkey Burger she’s ever had. She was particularly in love with the escarole on it. I really liked the horseradish dijonaise served with her burger. My burger tasted great and the fried mozzarella/roasted mushrooms were awesome. The Short Rib Grilled Cheese and Truffled potato skins were so good , we took an order to go for our father to try. The Kennebec Fries were delicious and the Stout battered onion rings although good were probably my least favorite item. What did I wash this down with? A Kahlua shake, good stuff. I did learn a few things on this outing. 1) I definitely ordered way too many things 2) The amount of combinations that can be made between, condiments, cheeses, sauces and extras will keep me coming back here for quite a while. And 3) Always remember, the Turkey Burger has turkey.
