My wonderful neighbor Crystal brought the Texas Bound Great Eats! Magazine over to my house. Inside we found listed the top 15 burgers in Texas. Number 8 the Bacon and Bleu Cheese Burger was located in little ol' Fort Worth, less than 15 minutes from my home. All this time I have been living 15 minutes from a top ten burger and I never knew!!! This burger is found at Dutch's right next to the TCU campus on University. I finally found someone, over the age of 9, to accompany me there so off I went.
I arrived before Mrs. Janny Cooper, so I perused the menu. All my little squids were starving, and the menu, to my delight, was so much more than burgers. Sitting right next to the now famous number 5 was a little known number 6... the chicken and roasted green chili sandwich.
Hmmm, what to do, what to do? A ha! Janny had not arrived, so I made an executive decision. I would order both the burger and the chicken sandwich, and she would have to eat half of each. Wise decision. I added the fries to each sandwich and a drink. Liam and Remy both chose the Dutch's minis (two sliders), and Adin ordered the hot dog off the kids menu. All three came with a side of choice (chips, tater tots, fries, onion rings or fruit, and a drink. I added two more drinks for Janny and me, and our grand total was under $35, so wallet friendly.
My food arrived before Janny did, but I didn't have to curse her name. She followed soon after my name was called. I just had time to split each sandwich and prepare our baskets.
Each sandwich is served on a sweet bun. In fact, after I tasted the sweetness, I noticed the staff wearing shirts claiming the "sweetest buns". I know, I'm observant, but that didn't matter. What mattered was the greatness sitting in front of me. The hamburger was, of course, fabulous, but the chicken sandwich was heaven. It was just the perfect combination of herbed mayo, the slightly sweet bun, and the peppery goodness of the green chili. The chicken was moist and tender. This is totally a craveable sandwich. I was sad that Mike wasn't there for me to share the food with, but I was glad that I had a great excuse to come back!
Excellent, two thumbs up! Now I can check 2 places off the list (Twisted Root was number 15), and only 13 more to go!! =-)
Bon appetite, go try Dutch's for yourself!
