• Quick update on LBOE, which shut down in April after a fire.
Tyler Adams of LBOE writes in a email, “Construction has started. The roof should be done in a couple weeks then interior work can start. Hopefully September for opening. We will be at Burger Fest on August 28th.”
• Congrats to Babalu which won “Best Margarita” at last weekend’s Margarita Festival, put on by the Flyer.
A good time was had by all. Check out the photos on our Facebook page.
• More fun from the Flyer: Burger Week is coming up July 13th-19th.
Restaurants across the city will be offering a $5 burger special during the week.
More info to come …
• First, there were beerings, and coming soon … brewcelets!
• MasterChef Junior winner Logan Guleff is participating in the James Bear Foundations’s Blended Burger Project, which has a goal of serving healthier burgers.
Chefs from across the country create burgers that incorporate mushrooms and then put them up for a vote. The top vote-getters win a trip to New York to cook at the James Beard House.
Guleff’s burger is the Mushroom Monster. Vote here.
• Krystal is offering a limited time “Fired-Up” menu. Featured items — burgers, corndogs, and chicken sandwiches — can be topped with a cheese sauce made with Tabasco sauce. There’s also a Fired Up combo.
Through August 7th.
