Super-fantastic Journeys

 Ivywild Kitchen is one of seven food venues available in the Ivywild School.  The Iveywild School serves great pub food to accompany your drinks from the Bristol Brewing Pub located just down the hall of this revived elementary school.  The menu offers a nice collection of shareables, chicken sandwiches, and burgers.  We looked at all the eatery options and this was the one that called to us during our first visit to Iveywood School. We ordered the Bacon and Blue burger as our main item.  This burger was the perfect size burger and full of flavor.  The blue cheese was subtle and added to the burger but allowed the caramelized onion and house sauce to shine.  I was nicely surprised at the flavor combinations when eating the burger.  The burger is served on a potato bun which held up to the burger well and tasted great. We shared our burger so that we could try some other menu items, so they were nice enough to cut it in half for us.  This was a really good burger. With our burger, we g

Known in Fort Worth on many a burger list M&O Station Grill serves up a delicious classic burger done right. Located in the Foundy District M&O is a great place to eat a burger before visiting the distillery or wine bar in this up-and-coming neighborhood.  M&O is a casual dining restaurant that feels a bit like an old-fashioned dinner.  Their burgers are made from grass-fed Angus sirloin.  You can get it in the classic style or as a keto meal as well. With 12 different burger options, you can find a burger to fit your mood.  I wanted to try the M&O Original to get a baseline established and understand the flavor that their specially marinated beef brings out.  It was a classic burger with melted cheddar and their house dressing. The bun was warmed and was the perfect size for the patty. My wife got the Mushroom & Swiss Burger which looked very good.  It had gilled mushrooms and stringy melted swiss cheese on top.  This is another classic style burger that they do ve

Georgetown is an old gold mining town located less than an hour from downtown Denver.  Growing up in Colorado, Georgetown was just one of the small towns you drove by while going somewhere else.  Now Georgetown is a great place to visit and use as a base camp for more exploring in the area.  The town of Georgetown has changed over the years in a very positive way but has maintained a lot of its old mountain charm. Georgetown is known for the Victorian houses built here back in the 1800s, and many of them are still standing and well maintained.  Many of the yards are full of flowers during the summer, making for a beautiful town to explore.

Rodeo Goat was on my bucket list for longer than it should have been.  It was all about the location before, but with five locations around the DFW area, you no longer have to drive that far to get an amazing burger at Rodeo Goat.  Rodeo Goat starts out with the freshest ground beef possible which they say is ground in-store the same day that you eat it.  Fresh quality meats are important in the burger, and their burger tastes like it.  Their menu is full of different burger options, 18 in total on the regular menu.  In addition to the regular options, there is always the "Battle of the Burgers" on the top of the menu which puts two specialty burgers up against each other in a battle for greatness where the decision is made based on what you vote for by ordering. We visited the Cypress Waters location on a Saturday afternoon after the normal lunch crowd.  Cypress Waters is located in the middle of the DFW metroplex and is close to the DFW airport if you are flying into town.
