Food Friday: Flatire Burger
While out taking pictures of historic places in Edmond, it was time for lunch and we realized that there was a good burger joint that we hadn’t been to in a while. Flatire Burger has been in Edmond for over 20 years, just west of the University of Central Oklahoma campus. We had gone there early on but hadn’t been back since. That was a mistake.
On a nice Saturday afternoon, after walking around the UCO campus, we went to Flatire. The weather was so nice that we sat out on the patio in January. We started lunch with the Green Chile Spokes. These are Anaheim chiles that have been roasted, then breaded and fried. The served them with a ranch type dipping sauce called Rooster sauce. We loved them. They were so good, crispy with a touch of heat to them. I could have eaten a whole bucket of them on my own. Now onto the burgers, I ordered a Juicy Lucy while Big K decided to tackle the Hell’s Kitchen burger. It didn’t take too long for us to get these incredible burgers. The Juicy Lucy is a half-pound burger stuffed with cheddar cheese, topped with more cheddar, bacon, grilled onions, and a fried egg. This was seriously on of the best burgers I’ve eaten. We all know the best burgers are messy and this one was so juicy that it was falling apart. Every bite just had so much flavor. As a side I got tator tots, which were fried perfectly. And the Hell’s Kitchen burger that Big K had, his exact words were “it is fucking amazing”. This burger brings the heat, grilled sweet onions, grilled jalapenos, ghost pepper cream cheese, bacon, salsa, chipotle mayo, and crushed tortilla chips. He ate it without breaking a sweat. He got the fries and loved them as well.
I totally need to remember that Flatire Burger is an option in when in Edmond. The service was outstanding and the patio was a great place to sit. I will give them 5 strips of bacon.
