Sub Zero Vodka Bar - Meeting #53


October 2nd, 2013

308 North Euclid Avenue
St. Louis, MO 63108
(314) 367-1200


In Attendance:
Doug E. Fresh, NB, JC, Two Napkins (w/ Mario Burger & Olivia), Homey 1 Kanobi, Beat Meat, The Awesome One, Hamburgler, Beaner, "7", S, kt, Yoga Foodie, 1/2 Pound Curler, and Zanzibar McFarlane


NB finally discovered a Burger Joint she loves!
NB even ordered a legit BURGER (Salmon Burger)

Two Napkins & Olivia (wearing HIGH heels!)
Beat Meat & his mama The Awesome One

After ordering, I discovered that you can add a Bacon Bun to your burger... that wouldn't have gone well with mine, so I asked Kelly to bring out a few buns toasted, with spicy cheese sauce... this was a brilliant idea. 



It took TWO pictures to fit in all the burgers!
More Delicoius Burgers!

NB & JC's Sashimitini... So pretty!

Doug E. Fresh's Bourbon BBQ Burger
S's BBQ Boursin Burger


Another view of kt's World's Fair Burger (drooling)
kt's World's Fair Burger - Yes, it was that good.



The Classic

Olivia digs in to her burger!
Mario Burger takes a HUGE bite!


The Sushi Burger - Trust me, it's AWESOME.

How would you describe your burger?
Doug E. Fresh:  Good, but I tasted two others and they were better
NB:  Good
JC:  N/A
Two Napkins:  Perfect.  Spicy.  I was a little scared about a pretzel bun, because it can be too bready.  But the liquid cheese made it soft and just hearty enough.
Homey 1 Kanobi:  Great, but I was disappointed with the pretzel bun.
Beat Meat:  Sweet, salty
The Awesome One:  Both were impressive looking – large and full of flavor.
Hamburgler:  It was SO good.  It was like POW!!
Beaner:  Very good, Loved the thin burger, cooked to perfection… rare!!
7:  Average
S:  Original, great flavor
kt:   WOW.  This burger knocked my socks off!  It is in my top 3.  Perhaps my #1 currently!!!  I usually shy away from “messy” looking burgers, but this one caught my attention, and I am THRILLED that I ordered it!  The meat was perfect, the peppers/mushroom/onion slaw had a spicy kick to it, and the melted cheese was heavenly!  Even the pretzel bun was kick ass (which is rare as they are usually dry!).  The Salmon burger was kinda blah, but I was shocked by how much I enjoyed the Sushi Burger!  The BBQ Bourbon Burger was wayyy too dry. 
Yoga Foodie:  Unique, the crunchy topping was delicious
½ Pound Curler:  Fresh Bun – touch dry.  Meat was slightly overdone.  Pretty good.
Zanzibar McFarlane:  Bland but juicy, the bun was disappointing.  I wish I had ordered the pretzel bun.

Doug E. Fresh:  5
NB:  9
JC:  7

The Awesome One:  Great bar for before the meeting, great selection and great turn out!  I love CWE! (*CWE is an area in STL called the “Central West End”)

Beaner:  Sat next to Yoga Foodie & ½ Pound Curler, and Zanzibar was here. 
7:  Good company
S:  JB (*Exactly Mr. S… exactly.)
kt:  Derek was kind enough to accommodate our party of 17 just days before we came in!  The servers were all super friendly, and I was Shocked by how many burger choices we had!  This was my first time eating a burger at one of my favorite Sushi restaurants!  I also had a great time sitting next to Beat Meat.  Hehe.

*So... if you are like me, and have only eaten the delicious sushi at Sub Zero (or... if you're like several of our BBBC members and have only enjoyed the delicious Vodka at Sub Zero) you should SERIOUSLY make a point of heading to the Central West End and ordering one of their INSANE burgers!  I am a convert!  It will be very hard for me to order only sushi when I'm eating here again!  Derek was so kind in accommodating our group of 17, and Kelly our waitress was a superstar!  Thank you SO much!
 
CHEERS!
