Mobile Munchies: Burger 88

There’s burgers and then there’s burgers. Burger 88 takes them to a whole new level. Whether it’s meats you wouldn’t normally see or toppings that sound insane until you try them, this food truck is taking burgers above and beyond what the average truck does. The real question is, would I be brave enough to try them?

I went to Burger 88 not knowing what to expect. They were near the downtown food truck food court but off by themselves a bit. That may have thrown me off a bit, but I gave them a shot anyway, and I’m glad I did. I opted for the lamb burger with lettuce, tomato, onion, and tzatziki; basically a gyro in burger form. It was one of the best things I ever tasted. The lamb was rich without being too oily, and the toppings were so fresh I thought I picked them from the garden myself.

Then there’s the fries. I went with the parmesan truffle fries because, well, I really don’t care about my breath after a good meal. The non-trans fat oil gave me pause but it worked out well with the flavors of the fry. The truffle oil was to die for and the parmesan on top made the fries want to be consumed. All in all, they were some of the best fries I ever had.

So if you’re feeling a burger but aren’t sure if Burger 88 is right for you, stop on by and let them brand you with their amazing meats. You’ll be glad you did.
