"Hickory Dickory Broc" - PEI Burger Love - 2018 - Part 3

The one and only downfall about going on vacation in April is that you end up missing part of PEI Burger Love. Being away for 2 weeks meant having to play catch-up to try and get in several burgers over the home stretch before months end.

So after arriving home late Friday afternoon we knew our supper plans would include a burger. Since we had to go back to Charlottetown in the evening for the PEI Roadrunners banquet we decided to stop in at O'Shea's Pub in Kinkora to try out the "Hickory Dickory Broc". We've been a fan of this pub for several years and the burgers that Richie and his crew put together each year always end up near the top of our list.

This years creation is no exception. The burger consisted of: 6 oz Island Beef Patty, Shredded Blend Cheese, Maple Bacon, O'Shea's Signature Sauce, Onion Tanglers, Hickory Sticks, Lettuce, Tomato on a Grilled Brioche Classic Bun, topped with a Broccoli, Cheese, and Bacon Wedge.

If you've been following along since I started writing these reviews you know that I like the 3 B's, BBQ and bacon. OShea's signature Jack Daniels BBQ sauce and maple bacon certainly set this one apart and the crunch from the onion tanglers and hickory sticks make this one a bit unique. Plus even if you hate broccoli you'll love the topper since it's deep fried with cheese and bacon. If you are looking for a burger to try out in Prince county before the end of the month this one is certainly worth the trip. I might just head out to trivia Friday night and have it again.

After being away for a bit one of our first stops was @OSheasPub for @PEIBurgerLove. Richie's "Hickory Dickory Broc" did not disappoint. Excellent burger. #PEIburgerlove pic.twitter.com/Y8Zu45ozrA

"Wingin It" - PEI Burger Love 2017 - Part 10

Stop #10 of the 2017 Burger Love tour.

O'Shea's Pub is a great little pub in the small community of Kinkora about 15 minutes from our house. Although we don't get there as often as we'd like it's always a great time and Richie and the staff always make us feel like family when we are there.

Last years Spud's McWhiskey and the Shea-Nanigan in 2015 were one of our favourites each year so we figured this one would be good too and we weren't disappointed.

Richie and the crew knocked it out of the park again this year. The "Wingin It" had 7 oz Island Beef Patty, O'Shea's Signature Sauce, Savoury Onion Fritter, 2-year Aged White Cheddar, Bacon, seasoned Sauteed Onions, Lettuce, Tomato, seasoned Lattice Fries on a toasted Brioche Bun topped with a Salt & Pepper Chicken Wing.

Rating 9.5/10

"Shea-Nanigan" - PEI Burger Love - Part 10

* Stop #10 of my Burger Love adventure.

A friend of mine does trivia at O'Shea's Pub in Kinkora (Senators coach Cameron's home town) and we try to attend when we can. He had raved about the burger so we decided to head out early before trivia started to give it a try. 

The make-up of the "Shea-Nanigan" was 7ozs. Island beef, mozza & cheddar cheese, grilled maple ham, onion rings, spicy lattice fry, signature Jack Daniel's™ sauce, fresh tomato, and romaine lettuce on a grilled and buttered cornmeal kaiser, garnished with a mac & cheese wedge.

Richie and the staff knocked it out of the park with this one, it was really, really good. The maple ham rivaled the candied bacon on the Sugar Daddy and the Jack Daniel's sauce added a little bit of sweetness. Topped off with a couple of onion rings and lattice fries for a little crunch.

Normally my wife and I split a burger between us but since it was trivia night she shared one with one of our team mates so this one was all mine. In all honesty, I would have been disappointed if I had to share this one.

After 10 burgers this one is near the top of the pack.
