Park Grill

(Peppercorn Crusted American Kobe)

This month, Park Grill is devoting an entire week to America’s favorite concoction (take a guess) during its aptly named “Burger Fest” 2009.

Whether diners like their burger with cheese or without, on a pretzel roll or topped with an egg, beginning Monday, August 17 through Sunday, August 23, guests can choose from a variety of burgers featured on Chef Bernie Laskowski’s unique menu creations.

Pavlov, start your engine!

The menu at Burger Fest 2009 includes an assortment of burgers to suit anyone’s interests – even a finicky Fiend such as myself. And better yet, all burgers come with Park Grill’s hand-cut fries or chips and feature a suggested beverage pairing of either wine or beer.

The Fiend requested some pics of a few that really piqued the ol’ palate. Stay tuned for a review of one or two of the above selections. Or perhaps all three…
