Vizzi up the Burger!

Back at the beginning of the year, when we decided to start this food blog, Jen and I started our quest for Buffalo’s best burger. Our first stop was Vizzi’s on Kenmore Ave. There was a big sign outside claiming that they have “Western New York’s Best Burger”… we’ll be the judge of that. From the outside it looks like a hole in the wall, crappy bar and pretty much confirmed my theory when we actually went inside. (See photographic evidence below) But, I heard about these huge burgers and I had to check them out for myself.

I wanted to stick with the standard cheeseburger so I didn’t get too adventurous with the menu. When the burger was set in front of me I think I heard a tiny choir of angels singing in the background. It was truly a sight to behold, and that first bite was heavenly. It was so big that I could barely bite into it! The burger was perfectly cooked, juicy and very tasty! Complemented by all the glorious toppings (cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, ketchup and mustard). Not to mention the pile of fresh cut seasoned French fries that were also delicious. Did I eat the entire ½ lb. burger myself? Of course. BUT, I will say it was a challenge. Those last few bites were forced in, only because I could not be so close to the finish line and fail! Plus it was soooo good… *drool*

 My only complaints, or critiques if you will, were that the bun was not big enough for such a substantial burger. And also I ended up getting the core of the lettuce on my burger, which was pretty disappointing. If I were one of “those people” I probably would’ve asked for new lettuce but I was too hungry to care at that point. Plus, if you put food in front of me you’ll have to pry it from my cold dead fingers to try and get it away from me once it’s in my possession. Hence the reason I don’t usually send food back… unless it would cause me bodily harm.

Overall, the Vizzi’s cheeseburger gets a solid 9/10. IF it had a bigger bun (hehe) and a good piece of lettuce, it would be a 10. No question. I could find nothing else wrong with this burger. It was absolutely delicious and I will definitely be going again. Mmm.
