"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.

"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.

"Spud's McWhiskey" - PEI Burger Love 2016 - Part 14

* Stop #14 of my 2016 Burger Love adventure. 

O'Shea's in Kinkora is a spot where we attend trivia on a regular basis. Last year Richie had created one of our favourite burgers overall so it was one we definitely wanted to try. It's a great pub about 15 minutes east of Summerside, PEI. The staff are great and we always enjoy spending an evening hanging out there.

"Spud's McWhiskey" was composed of a 7oz Island Beef Patty and Parmesan Potato Gratin with Jameson Irish Whiskey Glaze, Maple Bacon, Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded Blend Cheese, Onion Tanglers, Romaine Lettuce, and Tomato on a Brioche Bun grilled with Butter, garnished with a Breaded Pickle Spear.

It didn't disappoint, this year burger garners a spot near the top of the leaderboard yet again. The burger was seasoned and cooked very well and had a great taste on it's own. I really liked the flavour of the potato patty whiskey glaze and maple bacon.

If your looking to try a burger in the Summerside area I'd highly recommend taking the short drive to O'Shea's to try Spud's McWhiskey.

We stayed for trivia and took home 2nd place, always nice to win free beer!!
