Review-Barringer's Burger
Now for the review: I told the waitress I wanted to hear about their cheeseburger. She started out by saying it's 10 oz of fresh ground beef, not frozen. Good start. So I ordered it with lettuce, tomato [extra charge], bacon [extra charge] with mayo on the side. Next did I want pepper jack, Swiss or American. Pepper jack, of course. I asked for sauteed onions, she said sure. Then she cautioned me that they take about 15 minutes and asked me how I'd like it cooked- medium and juicy of course.. The friendly folks from the group made the time fly. The burger arrived presented as Nicki's photo shows. It was terrific. Juicy, sloppy, tasty-just what I'd want in a burger. The cheese was melted just enough that, along with the onions, The bun was not noticeable, and that's a good thing. The bun should either be benign or really attract your attention in a positive way. [Which has only happened once as I can recall]
If you are really needing a burger fix, Barringer's would make an excellent choice. Definitely a 9+ rating.

- I've been away for a week. In Dallas you can probably get a killer burger, but the bar-b-cue brisket is special there, so that's what I did. I'm in a burger deficit now and will be having a BurgerQuest tomorrow, October 16 at Scotty's Brewhouse Downtown at 12:30. Let me know if you think you can make it either by messaging here or Twitter @davisr66

- Indeed I've heard of Moonshine, IL. I'm hoping to make it over there myself sometime this summer or fall. Here's a website: http://www.clarkcountyil.org/Communities/moonshine.htm If anyone's interested in a fall trip, let me know. Our next Burger Quest outing, tentatively, will be Friday, July 31 at the Mug 'n Bun Drive In on West 10th Street at Lynhurst Drive, 1:00 PM. I'll verify that midweek.

Comment by Rick Garrett on July 22, 2009 at 9:49pm - Has anyone else been over to Moonshine, IL for a Moonburger? I've been over 3 times now, and it's just awesome. Great one day road trip!
