Wednesday, March 16, 2011 Buffalo Wing Burger Rocks Filling Station Company!

Filling Station Company in New Canaan is celebrating their one year anniversary with this insanely good Buffalo Wing Burger! House made buffalo wing sauce, celery and blue cheese on top of one of their already tasty burgers.

Two Tits Up! \m/

The flavors were spot on! I've had blue cheese on a burger before and was pretty put off by it, but that absolutely wasn't the case with this burger. The perfect smattering of blue cheese chunks, thinly sliced celery and finger-lickin' slathered sauce combined with the Filling Station Company signature bun/burger ratio. Mmm, mmm, mmm. Between bites of burger and sips of diet soda I managed to shove a few fries in malt vinegar before shoving them in my mouth. The flavor screamed Royal Guard Fish & Chips (and if you're from Stamford you know what I'm talking about) and it was just enough to cleanse my palate before I dove back into every bite of buffalo burger.

DDelicious.

Hurry up because this burger is only on the menu until the end of March. So you have 15 days to enjoy it! And if you're brave they have a Guinness shake to go along with it!

Bang on, my peeps!

Friday, December 3, 2010 Feeling It @ Filling Station Company

My husband and I ventured out in the chill for our first taste of Filling Station Company in beautiful downtown New Cannan, CT.

How good was it? I dunno, you look at that bun and tell me how good it was. IT WAS FREAKIN' DELICIOUS!

And I can tell you, as a culinary student who has recently learned about these things, the design is brilliant. When you look at the mouthwatering menu online you may wonder why they don't take phone orders, but when you see it in action it will become crystal.

I, of course, was the embodiment of all the idiot customers I used to hate back at TCBY. Moronically staring at the menu, not knowing where to place my order despite the big sign that says "start order here."

I went for a cheeseburger with bacon (as you can see in the photo) and my hubby went for a hot dog and a cheeseburger, both with various fixins. The burgers were outstanding - perfect bun/burger ratio. My husband started with the dog, and reported it was very good. Upon biting into his burger he proclaimed it even better. The organic french fries came with the quintessential wooden fork and my seasonal peppermint shake was refreshing and tasty and empty too soon. Shoulda got a large.

So, get your ass out there in the cold and go the Filling Station Company. Go now because the peppermint shake is only around this month! You might see me there getting another myself.

Bang on, my peeps!
