I didn't get the Mexicanized one...I opted for the good ole Americano. Adam had the version you are referring to and he loved it.

According to Ron they are serving burgers now, and he's planning a couple of other sandwiches too. Gonna have to give them a try!

Food at the Bucket? That could possibly make it the "perfect" bar!


Be sure to give us a review Judy.

My current favorite is Kitxen on 5th Ave btwn Constituyentes and Calle 20. Their burger is served with sauteed potatoes and an incredible salad. For $8, it's a great deal.

Are there any other places out there worth trying?

Ahhh... but you LIVE there! Seeking out a good burger is natural for you!!!

Anyway, isn't there a Burger King right on 5th?

Yeah, but are they still cooking in the bathroom?!?!?






BTW, don't get me started on the "certified angus" crap... One of my pet peeves...

Last night we went by the Bucket after Bad Boys and Capt. Ron had been grilling the burgers himself all afternoon on a big grill upstairs. He had already finished for the day (it was about 8:30 pm then), and I don't know when they start or finish serving, but I'll try to find out soon. Maybe someone else on the forum knows. I heard they were great.

USDA
Certified Angus Beef appears to be more than "just" marketing..not unlike USDA Prime, Choice and Select grading or certification......but apparently this certification is not a lot more than this grading and marketing.....

American Kobe Beef Wagyu Cattle appears to also be more than "just " marketing..but apparently also not a lot...Both seek to put superior product on the market and market that superiority. I do agree that American Kobe Beef seems to be a little more stringent in what they are trying to control with their brand.

I think what we really need are better certifiable definitions for free range, free-roaming, truly grass-fed, antibiotic and hormone free, naturally raised and naturally fed cattle..we just need to decide what that means, how to certify it and how (or whether) that results in improved taste, quality and tenderness...We are not there yet...but progress is being made...

I don't think I've ever had Kobe beef steaks.

We've got pretty good locally raised beef here in the Black Hills, and I'd have to think preparation goes a LONG way as long as the cut is fairly decent.

I'll say this though, I'm FAST becoming a big fan of buffalo, but it is tricky to prepare and sometimes when you order it at restaurants, because of it's leanness, it can be over-done. But WOW, it's great when done right.

I could eat a good hamburger everyday, and I do get tired of Mexican food. I can get plenty of good Mexican and Italian at home.
