The Gnarly Heifer (Finally!)

This one has been a long time coming!

I’ve known Kara, the owner of The Gnarly Heifer, for  several years now.  She used to manage another local bar/restaurant that I would eat at every week while my girls were in ballet. From the first time I met her, I knew she was an amazing, awesome person.  She has a huge heart, has an incredible taste for good food, and knows how to put a smile on everyone’s face.  When she was no longer managing that establishment, I didn’t even want to go there anymore.  It just wasn’t the same. She brings so much to anywhere she is.

The Gnarly Heifer is in Whitehall, in the old Taqueria Diaz building, for those familiar with the area.  They have the most amazing burgers, hand-cut fries, hot dogs, salads, and wraps. They even have house-made hummus, and some pretty amazing Moo Mac – loaded mac n cheese.  I am a sucker for a good burger and fries, and this has quickly gone to my short list for favorite places to get them!

I usually go for their weekly special for a burger, but I did get the Olive This Burger this last time.  I am not a green olive fan at all, but there is just something about an olive burger!  I also got the hummus, Moo Mac, and Truffle Fries.  I shared, and even then, it was WAY too much food for the two of us.  Kara does not let anyone go hungry!  These are GENEROUS portions.

If you have not tried The Gnarly Heifer, what are you waiting for?  You need to make the trip here, just for this experience!  To visit their Facebook page and view their menu, click here The Gnarly Heifer

*I’ve been holding out on posting until I could get an ussie with Kara and I, but she either has the day off (how dare she!), or when she is in, she had her white glasses and not her red ones LOL!  So I will update this blog when I can finally sneak in and get one with her beautiful face!

Delicious Truffle Fries. The dip for these is out of this world!!

This was a weekly special I got quite awhile ago! I cannot even remember everything on it, but it was so perfect, and spicy!!

Some good ol’ hand-cut fries. So good in their house-made Gnarly Sauce!

Moo Mac. This is something you definitely need to experience. Creamy mac n cheese, brisket, bbq sauce, and french fried onions. There is nothing bad anyone can say about this!!

Hummus with naan and fresh cut veggies. The hummus is creamy, slightly garlicky, with a balsamic reduction. Just perfection!

Olive This Burger! If you think you don’t like green olives, like myself, you might like this! For some reason green olives make me gag, but I could eat this all day long.
