Blue Heaven at the Bluebird Tavern

Nine is still the magic number for MNC attendance on the burger tour.
Same burger lovers as last month but Dirt Diva was out for a little D&D and we were joined by Shan.  Efforts to recruit Bryan at the last minute = FAIL.

The Bluebird Tavern burger became an easy favorite for most of the crew.  “Tastes like it came right off the grill at home,” said Dan. Brother Joe and Lily nodded in agreement . The Eastman Clan also shared a plate of poutine frites that were amazing.

Jennifer remains loyal to the Scuffer Burger.

At the Bluebird, it’s all about the sh** between the burger and the burger.

The BB Tavern double burger is seven ounces of beef, separated into two 3.5 oz patties with blue cheese in between...all served on a soft roll to sop up all the juices. Medium rare is the default setting. Lily substituted cheddar while the rest of us stuck with the blue cheese. Heaven.  
 
Shan had the lamb burger and pronounced it the best burger on the tour by far. ☺

The burgers and frites are served with frites and homemade ketchup and aioli.

We lamented the fact that Karl was not able to join us and worse…we still can’t get our hands on any decent NYE photos of Karl wearing my stiletto high heel boots. We raised our glasses to toast the formation of
Eastman-Benz, LLC. Congratulations gentlemen. 

We also took a poll to see who is looking for a new job. By a show of hands, over half our merry band and 100% of J-squared hope to be working somewhere else real soon.

Folks, feel  free to post your comments and photos. And mark your calendar for the next MNC tour date and venue: Monday, Feb. 7 at the Bearded Frog, Shelburne.

You guys are awesome. Your tour guide, Miss Kathy

Picture yourself with a nice double burger...

...on soft warm bread with blue cheese and fries.

(Sing to the tune of Lucy in the Sky w Diamonds.)

Reminder:
6:15 at the Bluebird Tavern Tonight!



Thanks Steve, for this photo from last month that includes moi, your tour guide.

Pretty much everyone in this photo is coming out tonight except the Dirt Diva who is playing D&D. Shan, Rob Church and Sara also may join us.

IMHO (in my humble opinion) a certain someone who is working very hard, who was stuck in the airport last month and whose wife is playing D&D should come out, too.

Maybe some of the members of MNC will drop a few hints. Hint, hint, hint. See you all later.

Love on ya,

Miss Kathy

Bluebird Tavern Double Burger...here we come

The Monday Night Club will once again brave the weather in search of the perfect burger.

Tuesday, January 11
6:15 pm
Bluebird Tavern
317 Riverside Ave, Burlington

Intrepid adventurers: Note the slightly earlier time. This is so we can all sit together. Please reach out to misskathy.vt@gmail.com to let me know that we can expect you.

Prepare to sample a great burger. Stoke your appetite by viewing the photo of it here.
It's called the Double Burger and on Tuesdays, you can have it for $10 with frites.

The menu is amazing. The beers selection is local and fantastic. Wine drinkers will kiss the ground I walk on. Check the website. It's kept up to date with recent avails.

Bluebird is willing to do separate checks...but they have asked to go gently and divide into smaller subgroups if possible...rather than do a dozen checks maybe we can do four or five. :)

I FEEL SO GUILTY!

As tour guide, I feel massive guilt for not keeping up the blog. Let's just say that if I hadn't kicked this off last month, we would not be sampling burgers until spring.

It's been busy; life has been full. Sometimes, it's more important to just show up and get it out there.

Bravo to those who made it out to The Scuffer. It was an adventure, was it not? Nine folks braved the snow to sample one of the best burgers in town, including Mountain Man, Catherine the Dirt Diva, the Eastman Clan featuring Lily, J-Squared and Steve. Catherine's Bryan was on a plane at BTV waiting to go to Newark. An adventure in a parallel universe.

Regarding the Scuffer Burger, survey says: "Excellent! Cooked just the way I like it."

I promise to do better in future. And, some of you will get better pseudonyms...to protect you when we post photos of a Monday-Nighter in a burger-fed stupor.

Before the arrival of our tasty, Scuffer Burgers.
