"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!!

"Blazing 7's" - PEI Burger Love 2016 - Part 3

* Stop #3 of my 2016 Burger Love adventure.

Next up in the rotation was the "Blazing 7's" from the West End Bar & Grill at the Red Shores Casino in Summerside.

6oz Island Beef Patty, Scottish Ale Infused BBQ Glaze, Southwest Sauce, Jalapeño Monterey Jack Cheese, Smoked Bacon, Cajun Tomato Salsa, Crisp Onion Rings, and Lettuce on a Craft Beer Bun, garnished with a Jalapeño Popper.

Quite often we'll go to trivia at Red Shores on Saturday night so we decided to try out the burger while there. I didn't enjoy this one as much as their entry last year, but not a bad burger. The patty itself was on the small side but cooked well. I'm a fan of BBQ and bacon so those combined in this one tasted pretty good. Was a little tentative due to the jalapeño cheese since I'm not a big fan of spicy, but it only added a little bit of bite to the flavours.
