BBQ Bacon Melt at The Melt FIGat7th | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 32 Quincy Freeman16 September 201500 views The Melt has three new burgers. I tried them all. Here is the second one, the BBQ Bacon Melt.

It is not like a traditional shopping center. It is more hip and vibrant. While you can shop and get household items, you can also have fun, listen to live music, enjoy a meal, have a date, or a combination of all these things. The Melt at FIGat7th is inside their Taste Food Hall, and adds variety to the list of options there. On this episode of The Burger Crawl, I try The Original Burger. The Original Burger is the first burger offered at The Melt, which got its start making delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. They take the concept of grilling cheese directly onto bread, and apply it to a potato bun burger. Their concept is simple, perfectly-sized for the average person, and truly a treat.

Original Burger at The Melt FIGat7th | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 30 Quincy Freeman30 August 201502 views I think this is the first time I have had a Potato Bun on a burger. Honestly, I am not sure. I like Brioche, sort of. Like in this weird I just ignore it kind of way. I know it is there, but it is just bread. The Potato Bun used at The Melt is delicious, and add an interesting flavor to the overall taste of the burger.

13 Burgers, 1 Beer at L.A. Weekly’s Burgers & Beer | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 29 Quincy Freeman20 August 201502 views L.A. Weekly's has hosted the first ever Burgers and Beer Festival in Los Angeles, at least to my knowledge. There were over 35 different burger restaurants and craft breweries represented at the festival held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum on August 8, 2015. I tried 13 different burger sliders, and one beer. 😀 Sandra's Tastemade Channel – https://www.tastemade.com/@heysandra The Venice Whalter's IG – https://www.instagram.com/thevenicewhaler SUBCRIBE!!! – http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=Cuethecritic The Burger Crawl – http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Dju8d3K4jm2KnmuRSV7QsX3bkWHxbTZ https://www.instagram.com/cuethecritic | https://fb.me/cuethecritic 13 Burgers sliders and 1 Craft Beer is what I tried at L.A. Weekly's first annual Burgers and Beer Festival. The event was held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, and proved to be one of my favorite festivals of the season; not dethroning Bacon & Barrels, of course. Prior to knowing about Burgers and Beer, and on the cusp of starting my YouTube channel (and this series: The Burger Crawl), I thought I would be the first to bring a burger #FoodFestival to Los Angeles. Maybe one day I will or LA Weekly will let me help with their's. No matter what the future holds, I truly enjoyed the experience.

Veggie Hyrbrid at Oh My Burger L.A. | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 28 Quincy Freeman16 August 201501 views How do you combine two things together that may no seem to work together? A combination of healthy and fat assery. Oh My Burger L.A. has done that successfully. They have something for everyone, including me. On this week's episode of The Burger Crawl, Chef Brandyn Powell makes me a veggie burger with a meat patty substitution. He combines three menu burgers to create this veggie melt burger hybrid. It does not have an official name yet, but maybe one of you can help us figure that out.

It was created in an effort to get me to try two things at once: the veggie melt, and OMB's new 73/27 beef blend. I enjoyed both, and to my surprise the vegetables gave the burger an intense depth of flavor which meld well with the meat and fat content of the burger patty.

Bone Marrow Burger for Dogs on Deployment | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 27 Quincy Freeman4 August 201500 views The Bone Marrow Burger features a brandt beef patty, bone marrow pistachio & peanut butter, sliced blue cheese, balsamic reduced onions, arugula, shoestring truffle fries, and garlic aioli on a brioche roll. SUBSCRIBE!!! – http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=Cuethecritic The Burger Crawl – http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Dju8d3K4jm2KnmuRSV7QsX3bkWHxbTZ https://www.instagram.com/cuethecritic | https://fb.me/cuethecritic This year's charitable burger at Slater's 50/50 donates a portion of the proceeds to Dogs On Deployment (http://dogsondeployment.org/). Dogs on Deployment is a non-profit that offers a foster home to dogs of military personnel while overseas. The Bone Marrow Burger [aptly named for the benefit dogs] helps a worthy cause, and the irony is that the peanut butter flavor is the prominent. While dogs like peanut butter a lot, I do not. To say the burger is bad would be a disservice and a lie. It is not a bad burger, it is merely one that I am not particularly fond of; however you may be, so try if i were you.

‘Merica Burger 2.0 at Slater’s 50/50 | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 26 Quincy Freeman21 July 201502 views Cue's Bacon Weekend 2015 consisted of Bacon & Barrels' food festival in Solvang, CA on Saturday; OC Fair's Media Preview on Sunday; then this overloaded bacon burger filming at Slater's 50/50 yesterday (Monday). Why? Because America! America loves bacon! The weekend finale was me laid out for 45 minutes on the table where I filmed this video. #BOMnation.

It is paired with Ironfire Synner Extra IPA. Every July Slater's 50/50 releases the 'Merica Burger. This year's 'Merica Burger differs a bit from the previous years. I believe the fried Mac N Cheese was one of the major differences. Last year had a fried egg, and leaf lettuce whereas this year's has fried Mac N' Cheese and field greens.

The Boner Burger at Animal | The Burger Crawl – Ep. 23 Quincy Freeman15 June 201501 views Thrillist is where I learned of the Boner Burger at Animal after a friend of mine showed me the article. Upon tasting the burger, I was astonished with the impactful flavor, and basked in the glory of the dripping bone marrow fat and 420 sauce.

Apparently this was a huge deal to him as I read his article (http://www.thrillist.com/eat/los-angeles/mid-wilshire/animal-secret-off-menu-burger-best-la-restaurants). I could not help but be overcome with the same ecitement as Jeff, so I knew I had to try the only burger available at Animal, which is off-menu, and apparently not a well-kept secret. The burger packs a ton of flavor, and is very good. It is smaller than what I like but that does not take away from it's deliciousness.
