et me tell you something about French Onion Soup..
I was a young boy when I was introduced to this tasty soup, which is an onion broth with bread clumps topped with tons of cheese and baked. I first had it at the Canyon Meadows Golf and Country Club in Calgary. I was instantly hooked! After that time, I've come back many a time to this tasty soup at various places... Some people make it good, and some people don't. Today I went to Burgoo's new location on West 4th Avenue (where Presto Cucina used to be... RIP, I liked that place! (and I got a Yelp review of the day honors on my review of them!!) and I toyed with either getting the grillers (which are very good) or the French Onion Soup (which I had never tried). The soup won out! It came, and it looked AMAZING! So okay, lets go through the check list..
1) It has to be cheesy, and thick. YES! This indeed it was, The cheese was gooey, tasty, and sticks-to-the-spoon consistency. Perfect.
2) There has to be bread clumps: YES! Lots of yummy bread! Tasty!
3) The broth has to be good: The broth was VERY VERY good! Though maybe a little less in quantity then what I would have liked..
And most importantly..
4) The cheese must have spilled over onto the outside of the bowl, making a crust. YES! I don;t know, the people at Burgoo mustve realized this is the MOST IMPORTANT DETAIL, because not only was it it running off the bowl, it was running onto the serving tray. Half the fun of FOS is picking the crust off the bowl, and they had that in mass quantity! Mmmmm mmmmmm good!
So definite thumbs up from me! A perfect bowl, in Burgoo's always warm and friendly atmosphere!
