Texas Monthly Burger Trail continued
After trying out Parkside's burger, I continued my way down the list. I was in Port Aransas a few weeks ago for our first vacation since we opened Thai Fresh. Port A, as we call it, was more beautiful than I remember. The only time I went was 4 years ago and I didn't fall in love. This time around, the water was clean and the beach was pleasant. We had so much fun swimming and hanging out on the beach.
My mission in Port A was to try one of the burgers on Pat's list from Port Aransas Brewing Company. I didn't get a chance to go until the second day there. I ordered the Stopher Burger and I absolutely loved it. The meat was so lean but tender and very well seasoned. I do also like fatty meat, if you wonder. The best part of the burger was the bun that they make fresh everyday. I asked our server what kind of dough it was (not that I will attempt to make it or anything) and the answer from the kitchen was "it's a secret." It's the same dough that they make their pizza dough in house. It was a little salty, which I loved and it was so soft and dense.
So, if you are in Port A, give these guys a try. Order a beer or two to go with your burger.
While in Port A and needing some Thai, try out Thaiphoon (across from the IGA) The food is good, reasonably priced -especially for the Island-and the proprietor is a very nice lady named "Toy".
ReplyDeleteWell, this post makes me hungry! It looks so delicious. Wish I can also go there and have a taste of it myself. Anyway, I've been looking for topics as interesting as this. Looking forward to your next post.

I ate there recently and then bun reminds me a little of an english muffin. It was so good! I was not a fan of their beer though. :(
