Alley Burgers at Hundred Bar + Kitchen

jerry and kelly-dawn aulenbach zoomjer zoomkd alley burgers#yegalleyburgers. Yes, the idea was stolen from the awesome CHAR|CUT in Calgary. Being one of the very few who has enjoyed both (actually, there may only be 2 or 3 of us-make yourself known if there is anyone else), I should let you know how they compare. Both burgers are awesome, and both experiences were great. The CHAR|CUT burger is very simple, yet surprisingly effective. It’s (usually) a pork+beef patty (70% pork, I’m told). It has very little sauce (a Portuguese pepper sauce, made by Connie’s Dad, I believe), and the patty is laden with garlic-in a good way. You may even bite into a chunk. Don’t worry, you’re in good garlic breath company. The Hundred burger is less-complicated. All beef patty fried in foie gras butter topped with a fried, sunny-side up duck egg on top, with arugula. Careful when you eat it. As you’ll see in the video, the duck egg (while awesome), can be a liability.

As far as the whole battle of Alberta thing goes, the clear winners are anyone who gets an actual burger. Show up early, dress warmly if it’s cold outside, because you do not want to be sent away from the privilege of eating either of these burgers. Trust me. It’s the best 5 bucks you’ll ever spend in a back alley.

This is what the Edmonton experience looks like:
