The Behemoth Burger

So, for my birthday this year, we decided to take the Metrolink to Union Station. The 2nd Annual Beer Fest was being held there but that was not the main reason we went. The Grill Em All Gourmet Food Truck was going to be there and we were dying to try one of their burgers.

To get to the Grill Em All Truck, you had to pay $40 per person to get in the Union Station Courtyard. Once inside, you could sample unlimited 4 oz. beer servings from over 30 restaurants and breweries. Since we brought our two grandkids, we could not all go in. So, my son and son-in-law "took one for the team" and paid to get in and stand in line. 45 minutes later (and several beer samples), our burgers and fries arrived. They did not disappoint. We ordered a Waste Em All Burger (a cheeseburger topped with a delicious green chile) along with a regular cheeseburger and both were really good. But, The Behemoth was the star of the show. It's a juicy 1/3# patty topped with beer-soaked onions and pickles and served with grilled cheese sandwiches as the bun! Not sure that I would go out of my way to find the Grill Em All boys but if they are anywhere in the area, I will be sure to make a return visit.
