Fat Cow - Went Tonight - Top 3 Baton Rouge Burger

Son has been telling me how good his burger was at Fat Cow. We decided to go tonight.

I will say, we have eaten burgers at just about every place in this town.....and I am not extremely picky about my burgers - Just want to taste meat and not condiments.....and dont overcook it. Make good bread.

The burger menu at Fat Cow is extensive. Many different options. They grind their beef every morning......and have their bread shipped from Houston (like another good burger spot in BR).

I chose, on my 1st trip, to try to stay basic in order to get an understanding of what they are doing. I know they make some condiments (not all), pickles, banana peppers, etc inhouse. This was a plus upon entry.

Regular Bacon Cheeseburger:
Homeade Pickles, Tomato, Red Onion, Sauteed Mushrooms on the side.
The bun appears ciabatta like, but is obviously similar to the bun at Mason's. Fat Cow seems to use less of the bun, and toasts them perfectly.





Duck Fat Parmesean Frites:
Winner as well. Really liked them. Some were crispy, some were a little soggy (I like soggy - some in my family like crispy - this works well for us). I couldnt pass up the chance to grab these. Someone ordered their Duck Fat Frites topped with Bacon/Cheese like their basic cheese fries....this looked great. Cardiologists need to eat, too.





I saw several salads come up for customers....they look great. There are many healthy options on the menu if you visit here - and dont need a burger.


We sat at the bar....and noticed the grill cook "refilling" his fire under which he grills their own ground beef. They use Lazzari Mesquite Charchoal to cook the burgers. Winner.





I will without question have Fat Cow on a VERY, VERY short list of places in BR to get a burger. This thread is not to bash other establishments....but there have been an influx of burger places in EBR over the past couple years......and I wont go back to any of them. Gave them all several tries.
