Brewers Burger Brawl!

August 19th-28th is the first ever PDX Beer Week. There's almost nothing better than beer and hamburgers so we're happy to note that there will be a brewers burger brawl. Five local brewers from Upright, Hopworks, Burnside Brewing, Laurelwood, and Breakside Brewing will step up to the grill to create a burger and pair it with one of their beers. There will be bistro sized burgers for attendees to sample and then vote for their favorite.

Splitz Grill, Vancouver, B.C.

I was lucky enough to get to try a second burger spot in Vancouer: Splitz Grill. Pretty cool set-up- choose the type of patty you want including Bison, Lamb, and Lentil and then choose your toppings. The only extras are cheese, sauteed onions or mushrooms and bacon. Lots of topping choices as you can see in the above picture. I got the bison burger and my friends got the salmon and all beef burger.
