Burger #16 – Big Eats (Eats Mobile)

August 8, 2014November 12, 2015 / life-of-burgers / Leave a comment

From the moment I heard “Food Truck Party” I knew there was no way that I was going to pass up on this opportunity. The Coast (a popular Halifax paper) hosted this wonderful Food Truck Party in the parking lot of the Museum of Natural History. Unsure of what burger related things I would find there, I eventually settled on the Eats Mobile food truck and their Big Eats burger.

*For this burger, I’m not going to do the ratings as I feel that this is a special circumstance and it wouldn’t be fair to compare it with the other burgers.

Stats

From the menu: “A 7oz handmade 100% beef patty loaded with lettuce, tomato, & sautéed onion”

Located at 6092 Quinpool Road, Freeman’s has become a pretty popular spot for both beer-drinkers and late night eaters. I had eaten here many times before, and also had food delivered for numerous late night meals (they deliver until 5 AM!). For this burger, I went with the Fiery Smokehouse Cheddar Burger.
