The BBQ Slaw Burger

You may have heard in a previous post that the huz’s burger was selected as a finalist in a burger creation contest at a favorite local bar & grill  – Sidetrack!

The BBQ Slaw Burger – “Our Famous Burger topped with handcrafted BBQ pork, double cheddar cheese and homemade cole slaw. Served with sweet potato fries.”

Yesterday, Sidetrack contacted us and indicated that they had decided to feature the burger as the Specialty Burger of the Day! So…we assembled a posse of nine of our ‘peeps’ and headed out to Depot Town to order a tableful of BBQ Slaw Burgers! We were thrilled upon entering to see his burger on the specials board!:

And this picture, taken by yours truly, was posted on Sidetrack’s Facebook wall yesterday, advertising the burger! Yup, that’s the huz.

Once our beers were ordered, we noticed The Halvorson BBQ Slaw Burger listed on the menu! Five Cent Femme joined us on our excursion, and, being the bold individual she is, asked the diners at the table beside us what they had ordered, to which they replied, “The specialty burger! The “Halvorson”!”, which was followed by squeals elicited by Five Cent Femme and myself as we proceeded to point out Mr. H himself, the creator. (Can you say run-on sentence?) Muahaha!

Our server also happened to stop by at that moment, and told us that the burger had been a popular item all day! We were treated very well by the Sidetrack staff (as always).

And here she is. Again, I’ve been having camera issues lately, so not the BEST picture, but you get the idea. What it iz:

• Beef patty, juicy and cooked to perfection
• Double cheddar cheese
• Tangy BBQ Pulled Pork (a hefty scoop is hidden in there, I promise!)
• Creamy, Crunchy Coleslaw
• Sweet Potatoes Fries (THE best, anywhere) + spicy horseradish dipping sauce

Oh me, oh my, this was rather incredible. I devoured every last bite of this, as did most everyone else at our table, of their respective burgers.
