I Want to Open a Video Game Themed Burger Pub
Scientist tz | 11:19 AM on 04.22.2009 13 comments


So here in Chicago we have this bar called "Kuma's Korner." Basically it's a heavy metal bar that serves gourmet hamburgers. They serve a Black Sabbath burger with blackening spice and chili on it. They serve a 1/4 pound hot dog called the Goblin Cock. They serve a burger called "Lair of the Minotaur with carmelized onions, panchetta, and bourbon-soaked pears. You get the idea.

The place is insanely popular. Most nights tend toward an hour wait for a table and an hour wait for your food. Forget about it on weekends.

So I figure there's plenty of room to do the exact same thing except with video games. Since it's lunch time here in the midwest I've pulled together a short menu of video game themed hamburgers (and I've done it without infringing any copyrights, I hope.)

The Blue Bomber: A 1/4 pound patty topped with blue cheese and fried onion rings

The Colossus: A half pound patty topped with swiss cheese, bacon, lettuce, tomato served in a "bun" made up of two grilled cheese sandwiches.

The Aperature: A 1/2 pound patty on a ciabatta roll served with a thick slice of cheddar on top and a thick slice of blue cheese on bottom. Includes a slice of cake after your meal (or does it?)

The Boco: A turkey burger topped with fire roasted peppers, monterrey jack cheese, and garlic mayo.

The Tomb Raider: A 1/4 pound burger served on an egg roll topped with aged British cheddar and two fried eggs.

The Halo: A 1/2 pound burger with goat cheese, caramelized onions, bacon and tomato. Served on top of a bed of onion rings.

The Super Mutant: A 1/2 pound burger on a potato roll topped with bacon, ham, a fried egg, smoked gouda and mayo.

The Space Marine: A 1/2 pounder topped with chorizo, chipotle peppers, pico de gallo, and lots of Chihuahua cheese

OK I'm gonna stop now because I'm starving. Feel free to add your own in the comments but try to do it without infringement (yeah, I know the Tomb Raider is probably infringement.)

Good god I'm so hungry right now. Add a po-boy to the menu called the Bayou Billy, have 3 huge chicken strips with cajun seasoning on a sub roll. Wouldn't want to have just burgers on the menu man.

Princess Peach Pie - Peach Pie that disappears within seconds of you seeing it. (Into your stomach that is)

The Super Plumber Burger - Mushrooms, cheese sauce and bacon, all on a burger. Guaranteed to clog your pipes.

@Faith:

good idea but I'd use pancetta (Italian bacon) and melted provolone with the mushrooms. Now it's Italian and it clogs the fuck out of your arteries.

"They serve a 1/4 pound hot dog called the Goblin Cock."

Awesome food for a ridiculous band.

And your idea is great. Throw in some old arcade cabs and game themed drinks and you may have a niche. It would ate least do well during PAX and other cons.

Well, it's a better idea than an Eddie Murphy fan store.

Colossus = coronary. But damn if it don't sound yummy.

Cool idea, though it'd have to be in a similar setting (larger city/urban area)
Damnit, now i'm hungry.

This does give me an idea though..
