Fest and Show Burgers

 I'm not going to get all fancy with these burgers. They were more of a what the heck, I need something to eat. Of course, default for me is a burger.

Summertime offers quite a few opportunities to grab a burger. Summerfest is one of those places. Eight days over 3 weekends. Tons of music and tons of food vendors. My first visit to the festival was on Friday July 1st. My wife and I have a few "must haves" while attending the event. This time, burgers got on the list. We went to Ward's House of Prime. The name makes you think this is going to be something special, even at a festival. Nope. Not at all interesting. Lacked flavor. The bun was okay. Pricey. 

The next time at Summerfest was July 9th, I was alone. My first burger was from the Charcoal Grill. It's a chain restaurant and that's okay. Chances are they serve something consistent with there brick and mortar locations. I can't compare because I've never been to one. No matter, it was a decent burger. Frozen, formed patty. Grilled on an open flame. Love their set up. It's out in the open. Flames licking burgers, chicken and brats. Yes, I stand in the smoke for a moment each time I pass. Pricing was consistent with overpriced fest food. Before the evening was over, I'd have one more burger. I stopped at Major Goolsby's. Goolsby's is a local Bar/Restaurant in downtown Milwaukee. I would have to say, of the three burgers I had on the festival grounds, this was the best. Pricing consistent with the fest food.

Rounding out the week, I went to a car show on Sunday July 10th. Great day for a show. I went over to the registration tent to sign in. The smoke from the grills in the concessions area filled the registration tent. Prices on the food were a bit high for a car show. Burgers were $9, Cheeseburgers $10. Hot Dogs were at $7! Thank gosh they took credit cards because I spent all my money on registration. I got a cheeseburger and a bag of chips. Classic car show/church festival cheeseburger. The cheese is placed on a hamburger and isn't even partially melted. Don't get me started on flavor. I guess that's why there are always a lot of condiments available.

Sorry I didn't take any pictures of the burgers. Here's a picture of our car at the show.
