Biggy's Beach Grill - Doin' it right...

Where: 
Biggy’s Beach Grill
1301 Long Beach Blvd. North Beach Haven, NJ
609-207-6122

http://biggysbeachgrilllbi.com/

What: 
No Worries Mon (deluxe cheeseburger)

Build:
A deluxe cheeseburger with two quarter-pound seasoned burger patties (I can't remember all of the seasonings Biggy told me, but there was ginger, some kind of teriyaki?, onion?, etc...) 

Comments:
I am not a fan of a heavily seasoned burger, especially the kind that has the seasoning blended into the meat to the point where my burger is no longer a burger, but a meatloaf patty.

Please do not order for me, if I want to eat meatloaf, I'll order it. 

With that said, Biggy had such a light touch when it came to his seasonings, I softened quickly.

The burger comes with the toppings on the side so you can build-to-suit. I prefer iceberg lettuce over the leafy green stuff, so I ended up with just onion on my burger which was fine with me.
I ordered the burger medium rare and it was served per my request. However, due to the burger being piping hot and me spending too much time taking photos, my burger continued to cook itself to a medium well. Bummer, but in fairness, it was my fault, not Biggy’s. 

The Burger Bun: 
Although it was very fresh, I'm totally over the trendy popularity of the brioche bun. Get me a good old fashioned burger bun (preferably potato). It's a burger for Pete's sake, stop with the wannabe opulence.  

All in, a good burger for $8 bucks and served with a side salad, it ain't bad at all. 

Biggy's gets a 7.9\10 on the BC rating scale.

BHF Burger Specials

Where:
2115 Long Beach Blvd, Spray Beach, 08008

What: 
Assorted burgers, a stuffed flounder sandwich and other assorted munchies.


Comments:
This is my first review of the year for the awesome BHF burgers. I was glad to be back. How I missed that Black Angus goodness on a fresh baked ciabatta roll. Honestly, the burger meat at BHF is the great-tasting kind of flavor you look for at any burger joint, only to be disappointed. It may be a fish joint, but they are putting out world class burgers.

With that said, the burgers on the docket that day all slid easily into home with 10\10s on the BC rating scale. If you still haven't tried one of these char-grilled half pound beauties, I'm here to tell you, it's time. 

I've listed descriptions with comments accompanying my photos below:



The pimento cheeseburger... a south of the Mason-Dixon line favorite has made its way up to Jersey.  There’s nothing quite like the creaminess of pimento cheese combined with rendered beef fat. Talk about southern comfort food....










After taking the time for photos, my burger has cooked itself from medium rare to a medium well, but it was still excellent.












This was the most unique burger of the lot. The ingredients were so obscure that one might not even consider this a burger. It consisted of a ½ lb. Angus burger blended with chopped pickled ginger and chopped shrimp with a dash of teriyaki, then flame-broiled and wrapped in wonton dough and deep-fried until crisp. Next it was topped with seaweed salad, ahi tuna, sriracha mayo and cusabi sauce.


















This is a creation of Chef "Magic" Mike. It is a ½ lb. Angus cheeseburger between two cheese quesadillas, along with mushrooms and onions sautéed in truffle butter and cream. 

This gastronomic delight (my fav of the day) Chef Mike has aptly dubbed:                       
"The South-of-the-Border Fatty Melt".
