The Great Burger ChaseSpokane

It's in a location one would assume would see little traffic, but Wisconsinburger seems to have become a destination. And deserved it is, to start with the conclusion: these are the best sub-$10 burgers we've tried on this Great Burger Chase, an honor («honor», I say!) which I feel will stick for a good while.

The whole concept is well thought out, from a locale that beautifully screams Wisconsin -- we assume all they do there is bowl and eat burgers -- down to a clean, easy to read, non-turducken-ed logo. 

Even the to-go packaging is cool, see-through and all.

Of course, all of this would mean preciously little, had the burgers not been of the quality they are. Frankly, I was unsure what to expect. Butter burgers? It sounds a bit overpowering.

Yet, that's not the case. The flavors are clean, almost delicate, and surprisingly... Light? Fluffy? Point being, it does not feel like fast-food at all. This is a good gourmet-like burger, at a very reasonable price.

In terms of general comparison, I'd say Manito's ranks higher -- though not by much -- yet Churchill's doesn't quite measure up. We can see Wisconsinburger becoming a Spokane mainstay. Good quality at a reasonable price. It's very Spokane.

And do try the fried cheese curds. They might give you a heart attack, but it's probably worth it.

It is off the beaten path, Wisconsinburger, but the Perry-ites don't seem to mind. The place was packed during our visit, and well deserved that is. No worries if you don't find a place to sit: the burgers travel just fine.

Wisconsinburger, then, ranks highly on our Burger Chase list. We're fans, and we expect you to be too.
