Burgermeister<\/strong> should already be on your radar if you\u2019re looking for thick burgers. With locations in both Brickell<\/strong> and South Beach<\/strong>, this spot has been making tasty greasy waves in Miami\u2019s burger scene, and for good reason.<\/p>\n

Burgermeister is where you go when you\u2019re in the mood for a thick, juicy 8oz burger cooked exactly how you like it. My first experience? Right in the middle of the pandemic \u2014 delivery only, stripped down to just meat and cheese<\/strong>, no frills. And even in that bare-bones form, it hit just right.<\/p>\n

That was the moment I knew these folks weren\u2019t messing around.<\/p>\n

It had been a minute since I found myself in Brickell \u2014 probably not since Burger & Beer Joint<\/strong> was still doing its thing down the street. But the call of a legit burger brought me back. Thankfully, Burgermeister\u2019s Brickell spot is easy to get in and out of, and parking isn\u2019t a nightmare as expected in that part of town.<\/p>\n

Marcela and I showed up and, as usual, she couldn\u2019t make up her mind. She finally landed on El Vato<\/strong>, loaded with pico de gallo, guacamole, grilled queso blanco, lettuce, grilled jalape\u00f1os, and a hit of hot sauce aka, a greatest hits playlist of everything she loves. I locked in on The Meltdown<\/strong>: caramelized onions, a melty blend of Swiss and Gruy\u00e8re, and a cr\u00e8me fra\u00eeche aioli that\u2019s smooth, tangy, and rich in all the right ways.<\/p>\n

Both burgers were fire. We\u2019ve been back a few times since and even tested out the Pollo Crispy<\/strong>, a hefty chicken sandwich<\/strong> \u2014 which also holds its own.<\/p>\n

Burgermeister was invited back<\/em> to the South Beach Wine & Food Festival Burger Bash<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 not their first rodeo. Before that, they hosted a Burger Club<\/a><\/strong> meetup to get feedback from our crew. We tried three different burgers to help choose which would cut the festival.<\/p>\n

It was one of those awesome collabs where you could feel the passion behind the food. Spoiler alert: we helped pick the right burger for the big stage.<\/p>\n
