On Monday, March 8, the Kooper’s Chowhound Burger Wagon was back in Hunt Valley in the parking lot behind the Verizon building.
I challenged a few friends from Twitter to meet me there, and it became a large, fairly impromptu “tweet-up” ending with a large group breaking bread in a nearby Hunt Valley office building!
It was a beautiful day, so the crowd starting lining up to get a taste of the delicious burgers.
Kooper’s does its’ marketing mostly using social media, with their Fan Page on Facebook, and their twitter account to notify potential customers as to where the wagon will be on each particular day.
This time I tried a Bison Burger, opting for the healthier cut of meat, but negated its’ low fat base by adding blue cheese and bacon to the toppings.
Here, Derek Massey of Mid-Atlantic Settlement Services waited for his burger, while showing off the “wagon”.
The group of us, most of whom met on twitter, took our burgers back to the cafeteria by Mid-Atlantic Settlement Services to enjoy the afternoon and visit with each other.
I have to say, the Bison burger was rather dry, which I know is a result of the meat being so low fat. It was still very tasty! Everyone seemed to really enjoy their burgers, though the trip has now become a challenge to determine the “better burger”, with the next tasting at the NEW Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Cockeysville this coming week.
5 Guys all the way! My regular burger was a bit dry from the chowhound as well, which I assume, means they’re also using lower fat beef like maybe a 90/10 instead of 80/20, but their pickles are superb!
I hope I am not doing any damage to my rep as #1 Five Guys Fan by posing above. To the guys at Five Guys…you’re still my boys!
The Chowhound Wagon had a good burger. Good sized, fresh toppings, etc. Had a nice char-broiled taste.
But was it Five Guys? Unfair comparison. We’re talking about the Rolls Royce of burgers here. 2 handmade, never frozen patties with cheese between them? Rolls so fresh it’s like they just popped out of the oven? Free peanuts? The burger experience to which all others are compared….
Oh wait, this is was about the Chowhound Wagon, right? Good burger.
