The man has opened more than a dozen restaurants here in the last fifteen years. This summer, he added a burger stand into the mix. Inspired by the <a href="http://www.shakeshacknyc.com/">Shake Shack</a> in New York, SquareBurger is <a href="http://maps.google.com/places/us/philadelphia/race-st/600/-squareburger">located</a> in Franklin Square surrounded by a fountain, a carousel, a huge playground, and an 18-hole mini golf course. Parents may bring their kids for the activities, but they stick around and come back because of the food.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ODmAFjHfcm8/Ssdpxu7gRQI/AAAAAAAAAjM/rf07AIarJoI/s1600-h/Oct_01_2009_002.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_ODmAFjHfcm8/Ssdpxu7gRQI/AAAAAAAAAjM/rf07AIarJoI/s320/Oct_01_2009_002.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388391782304204034" border="0" /></a><br />With the square-shaped burgers priced starting at only $4.25, this place is more than affordable. There's something for everyone here- the hot dogs are kosher, there's a veggie burger for the vegetarians, and even a summer love salad for the vegans.<br /><br />To end the meal, there is a whole list of floats, shakes, and sundaes. The most popular is the Cake Shake- it's a delicious vanilla shake with pieces of Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets (<a href="http://www.tastykake.com/company.aspx">Philadelphia is the home of the brand Tastykake</a>) that you can slurp down with a large straw. SquareBurger has chosen to use all environmentally friendly containers, made from 100% plant materials, with recycle bins on every corner of the park.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ODmAFjHfcm8/Ssdutw1h6QI/AAAAAAAAAjU/4oXBVS-V5Qk/s1600-h/Oct_01_2009_019b.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 166px; height: 236px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ODmAFjHfcm8/Ssdutw1h6QI/AAAAAAAAAjU/4oXBVS-V5Qk/s320/Oct_01_2009_019b.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5388397211654678786" border="0" /></a><br />If you're ever in Philadelphia, whether you're in the mood for <a href="http://www.historicphiladelphia.org/day/franklin-square/SquareBurger%20Menu.pdf">a burger, a hot dog, or a shake</a>- SquareBurger offers you good food at great prices, and the atmosphere isn't too shabby either!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688188238169929615.post-75088680552269064992009-09-25T13:21:00.001-04:002010-01-10T23:05:58.975-05:00ham.bur.gue.sa<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfwzmZS1ktRuDP-BqKvB6Cc-7pjbXOXb3A1-jtzPKUTBlgPEhc5DsyTfKHhrZCUNCsqe3TgPnM1fKcpVShmqfi_kDDJkgd3Krm_KeaZenX5j-sW9-DO8ysG2SD6vZ4LePAVY31dt3ssiy/s1600-h/Photo-778346.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtfwzmZS1ktRuDP-BqKvB6Cc-7pjbXOXb3A1-jtzPKUTBlgPEhc5DsyTfKHhrZCUNCsqe3TgPnM1fKcpVShmqfi_kDDJkgd3Krm_KeaZenX5j-sW9-DO8ysG2SD6vZ4LePAVY31dt3ssiy/s320/Photo-778346.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5385456824812824450" /></a></p>Interesting burger spot @ bayside...who would have thought??Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688188238169929615.post-56780696919525077992009-09-23T21:10:00.001-04:002010-01-10T23:05:58.976-05:00Kingdom of Burger Heaven<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372423169920293842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh67GTAZ5qMS-csfytT-IxRymQeXiTommrdpFzenbZygMC0-W7eAFwx9IFX5Tvx2L-NzKC0pHzw36MhSAhl2L93uGPB69EJYMZJE_wegji_KUn85TouGQk94ZVhQVaNsEANpDk3zaQKTjs/s320/DSC04957.JPG" border="0" /> <div><br /><div><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=kingdom+burgers+miami&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&view=text&latlng=15979046223364055631">Kingdom</a>, a great neighborhood bar located in the historic <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><a href="http://www.mimoboulevard.org/">MIMO</a></span> district of Miami, sells some of the best burgers anywhere.

According to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_dog">Wikipedia</a>, "A number of current corn dog vendors lay claim that credit for the invention and/or popularization of the corn dog goes towards Carl and Neil Fletcher for when they introduced their "Corny Dogs" at the Texas State Fair sometime between 1938 and 1942. The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronto_Pup">Pronto Pup</a> vendors at the Minnesota State Fair claim to have invented the corn dog in 1941.<sup> </sup><a href="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/97/229697065_c5294c3738.jpg">Cozy Dog Drive-in</a>, in Springfield, IL, claims to have been the first to serve corn dogs on sticks, in 1946.<sup> </sup>Also in 1946, Dave Barham opened the first location of <a href="http://www.hotdogonastick.com/frames.html">Hot Dog on a Stick</a> at Muscle Beach, Califorina.<br /><br />If you're as much of a fan of the corn dog as we are, mark your calendars the first Saturday of March as <a href="http://www.corndogday.com/">National Corn Dog Day</a>.

It was a showcase about the New York trend setting burger joint: POP BURGER. Inspired by fast food American classic platters and simple and fresh flavors as a catalyst to do business and have fun. This burger joint is now rescuing and the old formula for doing business : the synergy between food and entertainment. The same tactic used for kids by other chains now in the adult world.<br /><br /><span class="text">With two locations, the original is located in the heart of the meatpacking district in New York City and the newest addition is in Midtown East. </span><span class="text">A group of <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">DJs</span> play a wide range of music including rock and roll, top 40, hip hop, house, dance, 80s and even reggae. </span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBIdkb-tMpO6ZBeJg7PbSOuLNe48Pn5YfwdSGcsK5RtHmgu2fY48G-IRc2G7JaitKBRpJOQ9bcqd3dGFV-sn_Gf8bazjbDUoWfWqOUm915Ou6yh-uDxWh8BYr0fCT0-tGFjsuSDAE32sne/s1600-h/2098869377_2aeab09212.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342143313753296002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: pointer; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBIdkb-tMpO6ZBeJg7PbSOuLNe48Pn5YfwdSGcsK5RtHmgu2fY48G-IRc2G7JaitKBRpJOQ9bcqd3dGFV-sn_Gf8bazjbDUoWfWqOUm915Ou6yh-uDxWh8BYr0fCT0-tGFjsuSDAE32sne/s320/2098869377_2aeab09212.jpg" border="0" /></a> A white and simplistic eye catching packaging design is helping this start up gain momentum.

Based in Austin, Texas this mobile food truck is why I insist that no one should ever judge food by the location. Apparently the mighty cone is taking over Austin and although they serve sliders and shakes, the mightiest of them all is the Hot & Crunchy Cone (pix above).<br /><br />For $5, the Hot & Crunchy is wrapped within a fresh tortilla shell filled with deep-fried avocado, chicken or shrimp, sesame seeds, almonds, chili flakes and cornflakes.<br /><br />The mighty cone officially launch in March 2009 on South Congress Avenue in downtown Austin. Should you be in the neighborhood you gotta check them out.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
