You see burger?\u00a0 Me see burger.\u00a0 Actually the “C” is for the location, “Couture Ultra\u00a0 Lounge.”\u00a0 The C Burger<\/a> was such a popular option INSIDE the club, management decided to sell them out of the back of the kitchen to late night clubbers in search of a burger fix, and that proved to be so popular, that they have been peddling them for a month out of their street-side location, on Couch, between 3rd and 4th.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is al fresco at its ultimate, like a food cart (but no wheels) in that there is no seating, no inside dining.\u00a0 Strictly take-away, as they say in remnants of the former Empire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stephan Stills once sang,\u00a0 “When you see the Southern Cross for the first time, you understand why you came this way.”\u00a0 Such is how I felt today, “when you feel the C burger sauce running down your chin, you understand why you came this way.”\u00a0\u00a0 Man oh man.<\/strong><\/p>\n

C Burger starts with Cascade Natural Beef, which is a reliable supplier to a lot of burger chefs in the Portland area. But it takes more than a supplier to “grind out” a good burger, and the grind was one of the stand out features of the C burger. A little coarser than many chefs opt for, but that makes good tasting meat an even more pleasurable tactile experience, in the opinion of both your reporter, and frequent co-burger gobbler, Portland small biz attorney extraoridinare, William Duval<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Your standard C burger comes with American cheese, burger sauce, lettuce tomato, onion, house pickle, on your choice of a bun or English muffing. We both opted for the buns, firm yet soft sesame seeded, soft enough to gently give with each bite, solid enough to support a juicy burger.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Upgrades are available, as are a chicken burger, and a veggie burger. House cut fries come with an aioli and spicy ketchup; the butter milk Walla Walla sweet rings (which we opted for), with a jalapeno ranch sauce on the side.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Don’t know what is in C Burger’s “burger sauce”, but this is the first one I remember liking in a long time. It’s not overpowering, as so many are.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, campers, to recap: great meat, great bun, nice sauce, fresh, crisp vegetables, and unbelievable thick onion rings. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In my opinion, which is worth nothing, C Burger climbs right up the ladder and is perched next to Foster Burger – and at half the Foster price.\u00a0 Those rings are a little spendy, boys…..but yes, to me, they are worth it.<\/strong><\/p>\n
