| Daveed's in Mt. Adams. Not my picture. |
Daveed's is the 18th burger I have had this year and #11 on the "list". I am only a month and a half behind in my reviews now because it was on June 16th. You have to hit it on a Thursday between 6 to 9 pm if you want a burger because they don't have burgers any other day of the week, or are open half of the week. The first thing I noticed was that it has the worst hours I have seen from a restaurant so far, but it must work for the Mt. Adams demographic which goes from an older, chill crowd during the week to a very young party crowd at night.
I have to start this one off by apologizing for only taking one picture because, well...this was a damn fine burger and it will end in the top 5 at least. I expected to go with 3 people and ended up with 6 of us in one of the smaller establishments in Mt. Adams. I felt like an ass just taking pictures with all the wait staff and 5 friends staring at me writing comments on the "list" for the burger. I have friends that I go out for burger with that are used to my burger snobbery by now, but these were new people.

Daveed's is by no means a cheap place and their food shows it. The entrees range between 20 to 30$, but it is a very limited menu, which happens so that they can get the best quality with the few things on the menu. The menu included a cheese plate with Brie/Chaumes/Manchego/Roquefort. Personally, I like the Manchego and Roquefort and would happily devour the entire plate of cheese myself minus the Brie. They also have a seared and grilled Foie Gras that appears to be on a "Taste of Belgium" waffle with strawberries and vanilla creme. I think anything on one of those waffles is going to be amazing! I think everybody I know loves those waffles. The pan seared duck breast with truffle, wild mushrooms, white cheddar and garganelli (pasta similar to penne) sounds tasty also.

| Look at the presentation on this burger! |
You won't find my burger on their menu, but when you look it up in google you'll see that they have a burger special on Thursdays. You can get a delectable burger, as shown above, with crisp, seasoned truffle fries and bud light for 16$. You don't get a choice in toppings and they don't have weird things to take away from the flavor of the burger. This is by far the cheapest item on the menu and I highly recommend going to just have this culinary experience. What you get on this one is bbq onions, which are more like carmelized onions and by no means taste like bbq you would think of anywhere else, cheese, bacon and an aioli. All of these flavors worked so well with the fresh onion roll they put it on. They get bonus points for using the often forgotten onion roll, which is my favorite way to get a greasy burger into my mouth! The meat came medium, just a little pink in the middle, well seasoned and was greasy but not falling apart in your hands greasy. I heard a complaint in my party that the burger wasn't cooked enough and had a texture she just couldn't get into. I disagree, but I had to throw that in there for good measure. So my burger quest has gotten so popular that we had 6 people sitting at one table ALL getting the burger! Hahaha, that kind of cuts down on what other things I get to try, but it gives everyone the feeling like they are a part of the quest too, which is fun for everyone.
I am just going to end this by saying go there tomorrow, because it's Thursday! This is almost tied for first with Senate at the moment for me and you all know how much I love Senate's food and atmosphere. You can't go anywhere else and get a burger, truffle fries and a beer for 16$. Plus, you need to get out of your comfort zone, we all do, that's what this burger quest is all about.
