@ Inglewood up to swangin' good! (Geneva, Switzerland)

When me and wife travel there is always two musts on our list......one is to do my signature jump at a landmark that marks the spot we are at and the second you can guess by now =)

For our first visit to Geneva we read about and visited two burger joint's with Inglewood being first to visit and as the song goes Inglewood is usually up to no good. But this Inglewood is up to burger good and provides the Geneva area with a really high quality burger's. The burger bun, is not a typical one but the puppy seed makes it all good. Their patty is 160 grams beef or buffalo (from local providers in the Geneva area) and unfortunately they did not serve the buffalo both times that I was there. Their burgers are not US juicy but more French raw inspired but still does the work!

The menu gives the people what they want (trust me I brought 10 of my business colleges to this place) with some crazy touches and there own "iWood" sauce.

When there definitely try Mexicano "B" or Dzodzet.

@ Helvti-Diner a peace of US in Switzerland! (Zürich, Switzerland)

When we first moved to Switzerland we lived in Lugano, Ticino. In the Italian parts it is not so easy to find a decent burger place or a burger at all, except for McD it was an Irish pub and an Italian pizza place.

How ever in Zürich there is a few more choices and now the chase for where to hang out when longing for a good burger has started. Helvti-Diner is after very warm recommendations from my colleague Martin the 3rd place to try.

And the owners gets thumbs up for creating a nice burger diner atmosphere! This place plays good music, has attending staff and every-time a burger order is done you hear this dude shout "Burger, Burger" which kinda take you back to a NY burger joint.

The menu: simple you have your choices of 3 different meats Swiss Beef, Angus and for the burger hot-shots Wagyu beef. How you "pimp" the rest of your burger is up to you.....simple just like it should be!

Since I will need to try all the meats for the first visit I picked Swiss Beef, the patty size of 170 grams was juicy and more than enough . The meat was perfectly cooked but I guess it was not my lucky day since my Burger was a bit too salty which was a pity. S**t happen's that we all know, so I simply have to give it another try.

BUT the Milkshake and the Cheesecake was total perfection it saved the evening! (my pics where to dark so check out the Diner's own pics below)

To sum it up, if you are looking for a nice evening out and looking for a burgers with great company and longing for a bit of US atmosphere then Helvti-Diner is a must try!

@ Holy Cow!! A Swiss chain that beats most and loves Elvis.....(Zürich/Lausanne, Switzerland)

It is not an easy task to find good burgers in Switzerland!

The Swiss are very conscious about quality of food but despite this finding a burger restaurant that serves really tasty, well done and juicy burgers has it's challenges and no Burger King and McD is not an option.

After a lot of searching (actually my wife searching and I was mostly sad due to the lack of burgers) she found a Swiss burger chain called Holy Cow. As we planned a trip to Geneva we decided to stop by in Lausanne to try this place. THANK GOD!

Holy Cow's concept is simple: Fast food, choices, fresh and with the Swiss high quality. They have a many different choices of burgers and their burger patty i about 165 grams natural beef which is enough and if you are really hungry you can choose two patties. What makes Holy Cow stick out is two more things they burger bread that is amazingly fresh and tasty and that they probably have one of the best Veggie Burger's in the WORLD!

Their menu is inspired by Elvis, King Kong and different destinations in the world which adds that little extra to their menu but also the atmosphere of the place. If you eat the burger in the original spot in Lausanne you will get the burgers with chips and in Zürich the come with fries.

Lately they have also started making their own Bier's and Ice tea, so if you like natural, high quality and conscious food then you have to visit HOLY COW!! The name tells most of the story =)

@ In-N-Out Buger the most awsome burger chain in the world....

Pure simplicity thats what In-N-Out burger represents. It all about the burger, fries and milkshake and so far every location I have been to have presented the same service and quality as the first time I ate it!

Burgers is not about how much meat you have on a patty it is about how you cook it!

In-N-Out have small burger patties but you can choose as many as you would like. And make sure you go ANIMAL style to get the whole experience of this awesome burger joint.

Unfortunatly In-N-Out is mostly found on the US West Coast but that is also a bit of the joy of it! Be careful checking out the picture this might make u very hungry......
