No, you aren't limited to these items for your burger entry - think outside the box/bun!

All you wanna-be burgermeisters out there, this is your chance for a moment of fleeting fame! We’re turning over our March Burger of the Month decision to you, our loyal fans. What burger do you want us to make? We know you have a burning idea (Rolaids anyone?) for the perfect burger so tell us all about it!

How to enter? Go to our Facebook page and look for the “YOU be the burger chef!” link on the left margin of our page.

Describe your burger, give it an awesome name, and attach a photo (if you are an overachiever) And be reasonable with your concoction – we aren’t making lobster burgers or foie gras sliders! You are not limited to the items on our build-your-own menu, so feel free to think outside the box! Entries will be accepted Feb 1 through Feb. 7 at high noon.

On Feb. 8, we will select our top 16 entries and turn it over to our Facebook fans (and your friends!) for voting – and may the best burger win!

The top 16 burgers will advance to the next rounds of voting Feb 8-15…yes this is reminiscent of the basketball “March Madness” concept, but we like to call it our “February Fury!”

On Feb 16, we will announce our “Final 4″ burgers, then semi-finals voting, and the ultimate winner will be announced Tue. Feb. 21

The winner will enjoy the fame and glory of having the March Burger of the Month named after them, which you can lord over all your friends and enemies.  We’ll also award a small token of our appreciation (no, we aren’t telling you what it is!)

February Beer of the Month – Schooner Exact Regrade Pale Ale

This pale ale has a sweet citrus  aroma to go along with citrus and spicy hop flavor. Lightly sweet  caramel malts and some wheat create an enjoyable malt backbone.  It
finishes with firm bitterness, but uses restraint to keep it balanced and drinkable. The Stats: ABV: 5.5%, IBU’s: 40

February Shake of the Month – Chukar Cherry

February’s Shake celebrates National Cherry Month, Valentines Day and of course, the 279th birthday of the father of our country, George Washington. You do remember the story about young George chopping down his father’s cherry tree, right??

For this festive shake, we teamed up with our friends at Chukar Cherries in the Yakima Valley, using real chopped Bing Cherries in our creamy vanilla shake.

February Side of the Month – Deep Fried Mac and Cheese

In our spare time we experiment with deep frying different foods, with the deeply held belief that there really isn’t any food that can’t be improved by deep frying. Obviously, this holds true with Mac & Cheese.

Using our own homemade recipe, we lightly bread slices of Mac & Cheese and deep fry until golden brown.  The kicker is our special Ranch Dressing starring our favorite Secret Aardvark Hot Sauce.

February Burger of the Month – The Philly Cheeseburger

We are not claiming February’s Burger of the Month is a “Philly Cheesesteak”, but our Philly Cheeseburger incorporates many of the key elements of the traditional Philly Cheesesteak.  Its like a Philly Cheesesteak Sandwich …  only better.

And here is how we do it;  we grill a Northwest Grass fed Beef patty, pile on freshly sautéed green peppers and onions, then smother it all with something we like to call “Liquid Cheese” all on a fresh Larsen’s Bun.
