Foster Burger Restaurant Review: Portland burger aficionados flock to Foster Burger, despite its relatively remote outer Southeast neighborhood location. The basic patty of hand-ground beef with lettuce, house-made pickles, "Foster sauce" and onion is tasty enough, but two other features elevate its appeal. One is the fluffy brioche bun, baked by An Xuyen Bakery next door. The other is the creative selection of add-on's (at extra cost), which include fried eggs, mushrooms, bacon, pickled beets, sriracha sauce, and several cheeses. Non-beef eaters may choose turkey or surprisingly good hemp veggie burgers. Sides measure up, too. A wedge salad is adorned with pork belly and herbal green goddess dressing. Creative fry preparations range from the trendy and caloric poutine (gravy-topped crunchy cheese curds) to a gourmet "black and white" version with Parmesan, truffle oil, and homemade squid ink aïoli. Drinks range from cocktails to beers and old-fashioned chocolate malts. Over-size booths hide any overindulgence, or snag a comfortable seat on the heated patio. Old concert posters on the wall provide atmosphere and may remind some patrons of their glorious youth at venues like La Luna and Satyricon. |
