8 Cuts Burger Blends

Most burger places allow you to customize the toppings of your burger, but did you know that there's a restaurant where you can customize as well as what cut of beef your patty will be made of?

My friends and I recently met up at 8 Cuts Burger Blends which gets its name from the eight different cuts of beef from which you can choose your burger patty. Each cut has its own characteristics to suit everyone's preferences.

You can completely customize your own burger since you have the option of choosing everything from the bun, toppings, and beef. Everything sounds so good it's such a shame you can't just load up everything on your burger.

If you're not feeling creative with your meal, you can just choose from the Tributes which are their own mouth-watering burger creations. While I honestly wish I could have tried all of the burgers (I'm coming back for you, Four Cheese!), Martin and I just went for their best-sellers which are Piggy and Q-Daddy.

While waiting for our food, I couldn't help but take pictures of their cool interiors. The place has a very modern, hip feel to it. I love the gigantic butcher's knives all over the walls because it adds so much character to the space. The casual and energetic atmosphere is the perfect backdrop for getting your hands dirty and digging into some greasy, delicious grub.

I usually just go for water whenever I eat out but their Arnold Palmer (P60), which is a mix of green tea and lemonade, was just too good to pass up on. It's such a refreshing contrast to all the heaviness of the burgers and finger food.

Speaking of finger food, we ordered some appetizers for sharing while waiting for our burgers. We had their Loaded Tex-Mex Ground Beef Nachos (P295) which true to its name was generously loaded with all sorts of tasty toppings. It's definitely ideal for sharing if you're with a group of friends. 

We also had their Onion Rings (P65) which was so good because aside from being crispy, it surprisingly had a barbecue flavor sprinkled all over it. I didn't expect that since on the menu it didn't say it had any flavor, but it definitely made it one of the best onion rings I've had.

We also couldn't resist their Good Ol' Hot Fried Wings (P285) which was so good that the only thing I could say about it was that I wish I could have had more. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and coated with a spicy, tangy flavor!

Now, on to the main event -- the burgers! I had the Piggy (P245) which is a quarter pounder Beef Bomb Blend patty of the chuck and short rib with mozzarella, fried bacon strips, house-made bacon jam, lollo rossa, tomatoes, garlic aioli, all on a Sesame Seed Bun.

Martin had The Q-Daddy (P295) which is a quarter pounder Ox Blend patty of flank, oxtail and rib eye, with yellow cheddar, onion tangles, crisp bacon strips, iceberg lettuce, tomato, jalapeño ranch and sweetly spiced BBQ sauce, all on a Sesame Seed Bun.

There's so much going on in their burgers that there's definitely no other way to eat them than to just go right for it, and get your hands dirty. The patties are so tasty and juicy that you should expect meat juice to run all over your hands and arm while eating. I couldn't actually taste the ingredients individually, but all the flavors just come together in every bite! Seriously, every mouthful was just an explosion of flavors! Throw your diet out the window because these burgers are not for the faint of heart.

If you're looking for food porn-worthy burgers, then head on over to 8 Cuts and "meat their blends."
