Whisk Gourmet Food + Catering - Coral Gables, Florida

Last Friday I ordered a burger from Whisk. I have always heard good things about their burgers. The cool thing about Whisk is that burgers are only served on Fridays, they are in limited supply and every week it's got different toppings on it. That's a great way to keep me interested in eating there. Just a couple of days ago GhenghisJuan ate a burger from Whisk, the Blue Smoke to be exact. He knew I had a Whisk burger last week but our conversation never progressed past that point. He emailed me:

The blue smoke was smothered with generous amounts of caramelized onion jam and blue cheese and topped by two slices of thick-cut smoked bacon. The bread was slathered with tarragon mustard. That's medium but on the rare side. Good thing I like it on the bloody side. It was exceptional, cooked perfectly. I love the burgers from this place. whisk is my #1, no doubt about it.
What did u have last week?

And this will be my response, well actually, he's going to read it on here:

I'm not gonna lie, your burger sounds better than the one I had but that's also because yours had bacon. I had the Pimento Cheese Burger with aged cheddar, pimentos, grilled spanish onion (I wanna see some papers), lettuce and tomato on an onion challah bun. Excluding the lettuce and tomato which I can always do without I loved this guy. For a while I was so focused on only the flavor of the beef that I lost out on the greatness of toppings. The toppings are really what puts the Whisk burger over the top. You didn't mention their fresh potato chips, always a nice touch.

Kristen and Brendan do a great job there and have very loyal customers. Sadly, Ive been a bad friend and havent visited in awhile and not even my hectic travel schedule is enough of an excuse for that. It definitely helps to check the website for the specials and a sneak peak at the Friday burger.
