I’m all about Blue Collar in North Miami

By Burger Beast · Comments (0)
Tuesday, February 14th, 2012

Sometimes I write about a new restaurant, go through the motions and point out a couple things here and there I like. I’ve been to Blue Collar run by Chef Danny Serfer five times and have not left disappointed. I’ve had something different each time but honestly, truthfully and really you should have The Big Ragout (Pork, Veal Shoulder & Brisket mix in hollowed out bread with fresh Mozzarella). It’s unbelievable. Oh and also get the mashed potatoes they’re heavenly.

Check out what delicious looks like below:

You Know What’s Really Good: The Philly Cheesesteak At Andiamo In Miami, Florida

By Burger Beast · Comments (0)

Andiamo Sign

Andiamo! is known for their Pizza but what most folks don’t know about or have never tried is their Philly Cheesesteak. The Philly is served on Italian bread with Cheese under the Ribeye (the way it should be). I would definitely suggest you get Grilled Onions & Hot Cherry Peppers (if you can handle the heat). (this dish no longer available at Andiamo! only at their sister restaurant down the street, Dogma Grill)

You could also go the Pizza Steak route (the Philly with Provolone, Marinara Sauce & Oregano) but I wouldn’t. Safe space for their Pizza instead.

Or maybe even their Breadsticks

Dogma Grill In Miami, Florida

Friday, March 6th, 2009

I was turned onto Dogma Grill years ago by an old friend of mine. He spoke to me of not only the good food but the great music playing while he was there (PJ Harvey, Pixies). What I particularly like about the place is how fresh their ingredients are. The first time I went there I tried their French Fries with fresh Garlic and the Burrito Dog. I was blown away by the Fries as I had never tried that combo before. Later on I tried the same thing at Gordon Biersch but I still prefer Dogma’s version. I hadn’t been to Dogma in a while, so I figured I should check out if anything had changed on their menu.

L.A. Chili Dog

Cheese Fries

I get to the window and decide to go with the Burrito Dog, L.A. Chili Dog and an order of Chili Cheese Fries. Everything seems to be pretty much the same. As soon as I pay, I go fill my cup with Coke and as I look at the window I was just standing in front of and  I notice an advertisement:

How is it possible I didn’t notice it? I was standing right in front of it. I do the only sensible thing, I order a Pitchfork Burger. Now, I know what you’re thinking, there is no way he is going to put down all of this food. You’re right, I’m not, but when a great surprise presents itself one must act.

Getting back to the Burrito Dog, it was just as I remembered it: 2 Hot Dogs, Chili, Bacon, Mustard, Chopped Onions, Sour Cream, Shredded Cheddar Cheese wrapped in a Flour Tortilla. Awesome stuff. The chili here is good so on Fries with Shredded Cheddar, it’s a great combination. As I’m making my way through my Burrito Dog, the Pitchfork Burger arrives. It’s looking at me like the kid who always get picked last at kickball. I was second to last for the record, yeah baby!

Pitchfork Burger

Damn you Burrito Dog! I pick up the Burger and have a moment with it. I take one bite and put it down and decide to go back to finish the Burrito Dog. I can’t keep Pitchfork off my mind the entire time I’m finishing the Dog. When I return, he’s snugly laying there in his little container looking back at me. I haven’t forgotten you and I won’t. It was a really great burger, joking aside. I plan on going back to eat another Pitchfork Burger (for only another $1 you can add another Patty, hmm….). This time, you can bet he’s getting picked first.

Kingdom In Miami, Florida

By Burger Beast · Comments (19)
Monday, January 19th, 2009

Due to an overwhelming amount of emails proclaiming the greatness of Kingdom, I felt I should go check the place out. The parking is a bit of a nightmare and if you do go down into that neighborhood it would be a good idea to not get lost. The place is not very big but it’s got a charm about it with some seats inside and tables set up on the outside (in an enclosure). Let’s see what to get…I check out their menu and look for the burgers first. I come across a Fries/Onion Rings combo as an appetizer.

Onion Rings & Fries

My friend orders it. The Fries are crinkle cut and not bad. The Onion Rings were better and both were topped with some seasoning which gave them a nice flavor. My wife and I decide we should also get some wings. You can get them tossed in either BBQ, Honey Mustard or Buffalo Sauce (the bartender may have said another flavor but I can’t recall).

Wings tossed in Frank's Red Hot

We get the Buffalo version (tastes like Frank’s Red Hot to me) and love ‘um. Those things were hot, and by hot I mean temperature hot. In the pic above you should be able to see some smoke rising from them.

Chicken Burger

My pal orders the Chicken Burger. The Chicken Burger is ground Chicken packed into Burger form no dead chickens were harmed though). She loved it, Marcela loved it and I……you got it, loved it! She added Provolone Cheese and Bacon to it. How could you go wrong with Bacon? There are 3 burgers on the Kingdom menu: Queen (8 oz.), King (12 oz.) and Doomsday (24 oz.).

King Burger

If you can eat the Doomsday Burger in under 15 minutes you don’t have to pay for it. As tempting a proposition as that sounds if I was served a Doomsday Burger at the temperature they served the King Burger at , I would have no palate left. That Burger was smoking hot. I ordered my King Burger with Cheddar and a heaping load of crispy Bacon. It was remarkably delicious. I suggest you get over here and try one of their burgers cause there’s a new King in town.
