Welcome back dear Readers!First of all, I wanted to thank all of you for reading the blog as usual and passing the word onto friends. There is still one week left in this month and we've already surpassed more hits than any other month since I began this blog. So thank you so very much. Without you, this blog would not work.
But now onto the sandwich...
I took a detour on a cool early summer night in Burbank this week to find a surprise sandwich that I never would have sought out on my own.
Stopping at Buffalo Wild Wings, I wasn't sure that I would actually write a review for a sandwich here, mainly because I don't like reviewing restaurant chains. As you know, I'm a big fan of the atmosphere and local color presented in mom-and-pop shops, and maybe that's why I do end up reviewing places like this. Just to prove my point.
Looking through the menu, I finally decided upon the Screamin' Nacho Burger made up of two all-beef patties, chipotle barbecue seasoning, corn tortilla chips, pepper jack cheese, jalapenos, pico de gallo, and southwestern ranch dressing.
I know, I know my physician called me halfway through the sandwich to say he was dropping me as a patient. It was crazy, and halfway through, my heart gave out...but then came back online when the hot wings with their spicy garlic sauce arrived. Wow.
The burger patties were delicious, although fairly skinny. The melted pepper jack cheese, southwestern ranch dressing, jalapenos and pico de gallo combined for an excellent taste of the southwest. They just work so well together.
The chips? Well they added a fun crunch texture to it that made this burger stand out.
Was the sandwich good? Yes, it really was, but don't get me wrong, the whole experience could have been a bit better. Even though the rest of the menu sounded pretty amazing. The food was good, but the fun and atmosphere sometimes gets lost in these big sports bars. Just a personal preference, you may not mind so much.
On the plus side, they did switch one of the televisions to the Phillies v. Mariners game. Again on the downside, the Phils lost.
Ah well, at least the wings were incredible!
Until next week!

I am quite familiar with Buffalo Wild Wings, as there were locations all over the hometown of Indy forever, even before they moved to conquer the west. Have never sampled a sandwich though, always stuck to the appetizers and wings. But this review sounds compelling, should I feel the need to check one out, I'll definitely be having a sandwich.
