"PiggyBack" - PEI Burger Love - 2017 - Part 11

Stop #11 of the 2017 Burger Love tour.

As we've done the past couple of years, my wife and I spend the last Saturday of PEI Burger Love doing a little tour, one last chance to try a few burgers. We always set out on this day with great intentions and a list of "several" we want to try but even though we split the burgers and don't order any sides we are usually pretty full after a couple. With that in mind, we try to make sure that the first two are ones we really don't want to miss and go from there.

We both wanted to try the "PiggyBack" from Gahan House so we decided to start there. Their burger consisted of 7 oz Island Beef Patty, Aged White Cheddar, Bacon, Crispy Onions, Sweet Sriracha Slaw, Granny Smith Apple Chutney on a lightly grilled Iron Bridge Brown Molasses Bun topped with a Molasses Bun & Maple Stout Pulled Pork Slider and a Gherkin.

I'm glad we started with this one. The sweetness of the apple chutney and the molasses added balance and a great flavour to the burger. The pork slider on top was a nice bonus. I put this one right at the top of the list with O'Shea's "Wingin It" as my favourite for this year. 

Rating 9.5/10

Great start to the @PEIBurgerLove tour. "PiggyBack" from @GahanPub. One of those ones I wish we weren't splitting, so good. #peiburgerlove pic.twitter.com/NYUxyBlqpT

Three Little Pigs - Porktoberfest 2016 - Part 3

* Stop #3 of the 2016 Porktoberfest adventure.

The PEI Marathon was this past weekend, unfortunately I opted not to run this year but my wife was doing the 10 km race. A trip to Charlottetown to get her race kit meant an excuse to make another Porktoberfest stop.

When checking out the listing on October 1st the "Three Little Pigs" sliders from the Quality Inn on the Hill jumped out as one she wanted to try, and of course I wasn't going to say no to pulled pork. It certainly isn't a spot we'd even considered going for a meal before, neither of us had actually been there before, but during Porktoberfest (and Burger Love) we go by the description and if it's something we want to try, we go; regardless of the location.

The sliders are comprised of 6 oz of PEI Pulled Pork and homemade BBQ sauce:

PIGGY #1 - Pulled pork with homemade apple sauce and topped with a cinnamon apple chip.
PIGGY #2 - Pulled pork with hickory sticks and topped with a deep fried mac ’n cheese wedge.
PIGGY #3 - Pulled pork with our sweet chili mayo, fiesta onion rings and topped with a bacon wrapped scallop.

Also included in the $15.95 price tag is homemade coleslaw, and maple bacon seasoned PEI potato skins fully loaded with cheese, bacon, sour cream, green onion topped with pulled pork. 

The sliders were so damn good, the homemade BBQ sauce was delicious and the pulled pork was smothered in it. The addition of the potato skins covered in BBQ sauce and pulled pork were a welcome addition and really completed the meal.

If you are in the hunt to add to your Porktoberfest count I'd highly recommend checking out the Quality Inn. The Three Little Pigs are certainly worth stopping in for.

Some @Porktoberfest action for lunch today, the Three Little Pigs sliders from @Innonthehill were really, really good. #PEIPorktoberfest pic.twitter.com/kNqciv1FAd
