Cleveland OH - In town for
@fanexpocleveland -but had to stop and get me a burgerrrr, bcuz Iām the šš¤
After I announced my trip to #Cleveland - and my intentions to find the best local burger - I was beset by sooo many DMs telling me the top spots. One of those DMs was from an old friend, the genius behind the best burger in Georgia,
@nfaburger in Atlanta. He told me, simply, āCordeliaās. Tell him I sent ya.ā
I get in from the airport, put my bags down, and head straight to
@cordeliacle .. Iām hungry and tired and itās cold out here! My pants are too thin, I think to myself. Itās cold for a Texan! (Itās only 40 degrees, donāt be a wuss.. SHUDDUPYOFACE!)
Cordeliaās is MUCH nicer than I expected! It feels like an award winning fancy type restaurant, and not a place to get the best burger in Cleveland .. but I trust my šfriend.
Sit up at the bar, order a soda water and āThe Burger Boxā.
Yall .. this thing is big !!! I thought it was gonna be a lil burg, but this thing makes sliders call him daddy. Big boy! Itās held together with some fancy toothpicks, and it smells delish.
Take my few pics .. then decide to cut in into quarters.
Okay!! Wow!! So good! Juicy and cheesy and saucy and .. the bread yaāll .. the bread! So damn good! The onions and pickles inside are quality, and pop and crunch the texture sooo nicely .. Iām barely breathing. Itās just nomnomnom..

Cordeliaās calls it the ā1921 style Burger Boxā, and it comes with onions, pickles, and a smoked cheddar cheese that is melted and draped over the meat like a delicious skirt. Asking the meaning behind the name, they tell me that White Castle first opened in 1921, and itās their āhomage to speed pack burgersā. (I pretend to know what that means and google it before this review. It basically means quick, fresh, and at least two sliders. Cordeliaās doubles that: you get four!) I nod my head and sip my soda.. itās so good, I keep thinking.. should I try White Castle again? š¤
If youāre in Cleveland, make sure you stop at Cordeliaās. A wonderful staff, a huge elegant restaurant, and an incredible burger await you. I freaking LOVED it. šš¤ā„ļø
