Review: THE ZODIAC PARTY with Woodside Inn’s twelfth Annual Beer & Burger Festival

The quest for a lip-smacking burger is something most burger-lovers encounter.  I must admit that recently I have been fortunate enough to reawaken my taste-buds with the exquisite depth of the burgers at the popular, iconic Woodside Inn Beer and Burger Festival. The eatery is here with an interesting concept around the twelve signs that comprise the zodiac. By connecting it with specially crafted burgers according to the zodiac sign traits, the novel concept definitely caught our attention. 

Classic Tenderloin Burger

The Burger Boss

We tried the Classic Tenderloin Burger that represents the always dependable star sign Taurus. It is generously crammed with cheese, dope fries on the side and a tenderloin preparation to die for. The star from the night was the Gemini one that represents the sign’s dual personality. It comprises of a duo of Waffle Burgers with pulled chicken, shredded boiled egg in one and minced chicken and a fried egg in another totally beguiled our taste-buds. Safe to say that its’ among the best burgers we’ve tried.
