Bulldogs Retro Diner in Wauconda

Our Food Train went up north again this weekend to Bulldogs a retro diner "in steadfast pursuit of the perfect burger" in Wauconda. www.bulldogsrestaurant.com

Each 1/2 lb burger is hand packed and cooked to order. They currently have 34 burgers on the menu. You can also have a Turkey burger, Black bean burger or Chicken breast.

They have wings with lots of different sauces. They have ones called "Asylum" that they do a challenge with, but we had the "Garlicky Parmesan", and they were awesome!

They also do hand cut fries with several different kinds of toppings or sauces. We had the "Killer Garlic Fries": fries tossed with fresh garlic, salt, pepper, parsley and parmesan. They were "killer", really very good.

My husband had the Highway to Hell Burger: fresh chilies, grilled onions, pepper jack cheese and "Hellacious habanero sauce".

 I had the Area 51 burger: green chilies, pepper jack cheese, chipotle mayo and guacamole.

It was very good! The turkey burger wasn't the best I've ever had but with the chilies and the other stuff on it, it was a very good turkey burger. The flavors were great together!

One of our friends had the Slap Yo' Momma: bacon, grilled onions, apple bbq sauce and cheddar cheese.
Her husband had the Chilihead Burger: chili, cheddar and grilled onion.

Our other friends shared the Corey burger: a burger topped with pulled pork, Carolina mustard bbq sauce and vinegar slaw.

So being a retro 50's diner they have a ice cream counter. I there fore had to have a chocolate shake with my burger! It was made with dark chocolate ice cream and was very rich, creamy and delicious! It was fantastic!

  We had a really fun time!  We would recommend Bulldogs, they have a lot of interesting burgers and I would  be intrested in trying a couple of others. 

Thanks to the Food Trainers who made it, you made it a great night. Hopefuly even more of you can make it next time!
