Bobby's Burger Palace + Capogiro gelato = Awesome additions to an already awesome day!

So, on a recent trip to Philly to see a great little show, me and some cool peeps that were with me went to get some food that was less than 5 minutes away from the venue. Who knew that such delicious food would be so close by? Well, the original plan was to visit Capogiro gelato as I had just read that they were rated one of the top 10 ice cream parlors in the US by the US World News Report. So as we were on our way there, low and behold, Bobby's Burger Palace! I jumped up and down like a little school girl shouting Bobby's Burger Palace! Bobby's Burger Palace! Look! Bobby's Burger Palace! Now, I was really excited because I never thought that I would be able to go to this place since it had a lot of western locations and I certainly was not gonna make that trip. It was like so lucky we saw the place so obviously we went in.

 

According to Best Thing I ever Ate, Claire Robinson got the Buffalo Burger "crunchified" ie with potato chips. I wasn't a fan of buffalo so i got the crunch burger that was a burger with american cheese and potato chips. It was definitely different, that's for sure. Chips on a burger? I mean, come on, I KNOW you haven't had that one before. I liked that the chips held up their crunchy texture despite being crushed by the bun. The burger was medium well and cooked nicely and the soft bun with crunchy chips just made it great. Plus they had great sauces like burger sauce (not so great), ketchup, chipotle ketchup, bbq, etc so you had a lot of options. I stuck with regular ketchup, keeping it simple. 

On to the next! Literally a few stores away, capogiro gelato! We ended up looking like freaks trying just about every flavor they had hahaha oh well. I ended up getting the pineapple gelato and something called amish milk gelato. They looked about the same where I couldn't really tell which one I was eating until it was in my mouth. The pineapple one had a prominent pineapple flavor that I liked which wasn't too sweet and thats why I went with it. Then after I tired the amish milk gelato it was like this weird creamy gelato that really just, well, tasted like milk! I thought itd be a nice creamy cut through the sweet pineapple. Mona got the chocolate coffee one which sorta just tasted like chocolate and kiwi which was reallly good, I almost got that one too. It seems theyre fruity flavors are the best. Anyhow, stop on by if you're in Philly and it'll definitely brighten up your day!
