\n<\/a> \"Tru<\/a>You can walk down a few block street of Oak Street in New Orleans and find almost any type of cuisine your little heart desires. \u00a0But if you pass by Tru Burger, you’re missing a great experience.<\/p>\n

With fresh ground in house quality beef, a choice of meat or veggie patties plus occasional special offerings and Zweigle Beef Hot Dogs, Tru Burger has a lot going for it in a city (now) rich in quality burger offerings. \u00a0Until this raft of new burger places openings, locals favored a pitiful outlet on the east border of the Quarter, whose real claim to fame was serving an oversized baked potato (WTF?) with their burgers. \u00a0Never impressive, IMHO.<\/p>\n

I went to Tru in search of a Zweigle, as I have had them at the source. \u00a0(They are from Rochester, New York). \u00a0I lived with a vegetarian woman in Paris, and we visited her home town in upstate New York, and she insisted on having mom get and prepare the local favorite Zweigle White Hot<\/a>, a white hot dog in a natural casing. \u00a0They were also available at a local joint <\/a>where I lived in Portland, Oregon, and Zweigles\u00a0makes a high quality dog.<\/p>\n

Alas, the only dog option at Tru Burger was a skinless, and I’m a natural casing snob, so I ordered a burger. \u00a0 It took awhile to cook, but that’s OK. Burgers are served with “Tru Sauce”, pickles and raw onion.<\/p>\n

When I am trying a new place (to me), I go with “as plain as possible” to get a true feeling for the individual ingredients. \u00a0At Tru, you can add American, Swiss or Cheddar for 50 cents \u00a0(I wish pimento cheese, a local favorite, was an option), as well as other condiments. \u00a0The pickles are bread and butter, and I’m not really a fan, (preferring dill), but I know folks in the south like B&B pickles for the sweet factor.<\/p>\n

Additional options include a fried egg, sausage patty, bacon, avocado and chili. \u00a0Rest of the menu is over here ….. not there, here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Tru is one of several places in New Orleans buying burger meat from Creekstone Farms<\/a>, a Kansas beef purveyor, who I think now makes the finest burger meat in all the land.<\/p>\n

New Orleans has a number of great burger places now, and Tru deserves a spot on that list. \u00a0If you’re a visitor to the Crescent City, take the St Charles street car from the Quarter to Oak Street, and walk a few steps towards the river to hit the Tru. \u00a0Check out their menu here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
