[Good Bite] Three Mushroom Boom
Ashton Goggans, ashton.goggans@srqmediagroup.comSquare 1 Burgers has all types of interesting things to throw between burger buns, from ostrich and buffalo to the three mushroom burger, which slides a portobello, porcini and garden mushroom sauté onto a whole wheat bun with melted Gruyére cheese and Sooner sauce. All burgers come with choice of fries, slaw or broccoli, which can be substituted for sweet potato fries, fried jalapenos or mac 'n' cheese, for a bit more. Share:

"They call it “cowboy chic.” “Sexy saloon” would be another option, given features that range from deco echo chairs with pony-upholstered seats to an astounding red chandelier hanging over a corner booth — worth a visit in and of itself. It is the menu, however, that is most intriguing. Jack and Mrs. Spratt could eat here together on options that range from flat-out comfort foot to happily healthful."
There are mini cupcakes to tempt the Jack Sprats and cupcake sundaes with an Italian-inspired, espresso-scented Chocolate “Zuppa” for his Mrs.

"He and partner Joanie Corneil, who opened Hyde Park standby Bella's Italian Cafe 21 years ago, are getting into the burger business. And their Square One Burgers will be anything but typical."
"Well, except for being round. "Everyone always asks me that," Shumate said with a chuckle." - Tampa Bay Online
"Much has been made of Square One's "Decadent" burger, a $13.99 Kobe beef patty. It's worth every penny. The thick burger comes topped with carmelized onions, lettuce, a generous slice of Brie cheese and sun-dried tomato mayonnaise."

"Square One Burgers aims to be different and succeeds. This is no fast food joint -- more like a trendy, upscale diner."

"I'm sad that I haven't tried Square One Burgers any sooner than today... I surely have been missing out! I was a little overwhelmed at creating my own burger so I opted for the Buffalo Bob specialty burger. This glorious beast consisted of buffalo meat, beer cheese sauce, fried onion rings, and smoked applewood bacon. Yeah, yeah... not too healthy, but DAMN it was good!!!"
