Stone Bellevue that is known for taking American and Asian fusion to the extreme, has launched their latest concoction, Bellevue’s Best Burger. The burger It features the unique taste and tenderness of highly marbled Wagyu, made from short rib, Japanese beef, and delivering an unrivalled dining experience. Not only is it a delight, but it’s healthier, too, and is regarded as having a minimal impact in raising cholesterol levels.
The burger patty is blended with Grass-Fed Angus Beef. Each is handmade and isn’t pressed until moments before being inserted into the pan. In gourmet burger language, we’re talking “smash burger style”, so caramelization can be achieved on the stove. The onions are caramelized in cabernet and melted pepper jack cheese, for a little kick, before being stuffed between a soft, buttered, split-topped brioche bun.
This delightful fusion burger is topped with thick-cut, apple wood, smoked bacon. The brioche is lathered with creamy Aioli sauce made of garlic and soy that includes a delightful, pasty texture. A sweet and tangy, house made wing sauce adds zest. Fresh garlic, ginger and smoked paprika are added to create a symphony of flavors for your taste buds.
Then the masterpiece is oven-baked to ensure that the meat center is served at the proper temperature and that the bun is crispy. Add baby greens and voila, Bellevue’s Best Burger is served to your table with a spate of golden brown French fries.
The combination of the creamy aioli, caramelized onions, bacon, and sauce and spices is a hands-down winner (and this burger is one of the best I’ve ever had.)
Just four minutes by foot from NE 8th Street, this is a great alternative for a quick in and out, business lunch)
