Best overall: Kumas Corner

 

 

^^^^YEAH THAT^^^^^^

 

I understand the person starting the topic is from Orland which is probably why no one has mentioned this place to him since its on the northside. But if you want a seriously life changing ill-never-eat-a-burger-at-any-other-place-again type burger. Kumas Corner dishes out the absolute best burgers i have ever had in this city. If your stomach can wait and hour and a half on average for a table, it will be well worth it.. Just dont plan on going on a weekend where lady gaga is in town because this is apparently her favorite burger joint and always visits kumas in the morning on the day of a concert.

Just went there last night for the first time to grab dinner with some friends, got the Megaburger and fries for $5. Good burger but not the best Ive had. Very solid though.

 

Their burgers washed down with a few well-poured pints of Guinness was a hard dinner to beat back in the day.

I really need to finally check out Kuma's, I've lived close to there for years. Is there a time of day that the wait isn't as long? Don't really wanna wait for an hour and a half if I can help it.

 

Hmm honestly the best time to go when there will be no wait is probably when it first opens at 11:30am.. or when its close to shutting down at 2am.. But i highly suggest if you live close enough, call them and order it to go and it will be ready in 30 minutes. I dont even bother waiting on tables anymore unless im with a kumas corner newbie :)

I try to make it there like once a month, if you can afford to eat later on (the next morning will hurt,) you can just walk in and sit at the bar at around 10 PM during the week from what I have experienced. UN. REAL.

 

Oh, and they do have the supposed #1 beer in the world which is called Delirium Tremmens...I have not had it yet and it is $12!

 

Make sure you go with someone and get a mac & cheese as well before hand - try it with andouille and red peppers

 

The last time I was in there, they were playing a very odd Japanese alien softcore porn hahaha

Delirium Tremens is indeed a phenomenal beer, and I am happy to be a proud member in spirit of the "Confrerie van de Roze Olifant" (Brotherhood of the Pink Elephant).

Great to hear, I have no problem trying the best beer in the world...just didn't want to spend $12 on it at Kuma's and eating that burger at the same time. I'll have to try it when I am waiting there next time

 

Edit: just googled the name Delirium Tremens...here is the definition

 

Delirium tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal that involves sudden and severe mental or neurological changes.

 

LOL

It is one of them. It won 1st in the beer championships in 1998 in Chicago and was named by an "expert" Stuart Kallen as #1 in his book of the 50 greatest.

Believe me, it isn't the best in the world though it is good. Go to Binnys and try it for way less than $12.

yeah I've had it many a times. Ish aint worth the price IMO. At least in belgium its like 6 euros which aint bad.

 

"Best beer in the world" is wholly subjective, I agree. But I think Tremens, and all of the Malle products I've sampled, are superb.

 

And $12 as a sit-down restaurant price for a bomber-sized bottle of Belgian craft beer I don't think is a bad price. If the same place is charging you $4-5 for a pint of American megaswill, I'll gladly skip that and drink the good stuff. At a beer shop, that same bottle is costing you $7-8, so, I don't think $12 at a bar or restaurant is too out of line.

I don't think he's talking about a bomber. Tremens is expensive. I'd bet that $12 for a 12 oz.

Hmm, the best beer in the world thing has me thinking. I wonder what an easy way is to track down where I can find one.

 

So I called my son, who knew immediately which beer I was talking about, where to buy it locally, the cost, the brewing process, the spicy after taste, and suggested a couple more to try. Not bad for a kid who just turned 21 a few months ago. He really learned quick.

Yeah.

Learned quick.

Some kids, that takes YEARS of experience.

Not yours.

Mere months, IF THAT.

A prodigy, I tell ya.

 

;) :P

The first time I went to Kuma's with my g/f, we sat next to an older couple who had begun talking to us. Turns out, the wife was a gourmet chef and told us that no joke, she waits for at least 2 hours every other saturday to eat their burger. When our burgers finally got to the table almost 3 hours later (don't go on a saturday at dinner time) they would not stop staring at us to see what our reaction was lol. So, ya, it is pretty amazing
