Bravo Rando!

Okay..so it's been a while since my last post.  What can I say...inspiration is fickle...one minute there..the next minute..blank.

Here is one place that definitely brought on the inspiration.

Rando Burger; a quaint little family owned business located in the refreshing and calm commune of St.Cergue.  Little it may be but BOOMING is the word that comes to mind.

Started a little over 2 years ago. Rando Burger graced the side walk promising succulent juicy burgers with original toppings and combinations.  Everything from the classic lettuce, cheese and tomato to the jalapeño spicy number.  Be it chicken, beef or vegetarian, every ingredient is sourced locally. - So, you know exactly what is in your meal.

The story is quite compelling of how Rando Burger came to be.  A business man with a promising career being affected by the economic crisis like you and me.  "Light Bulb!!" Open a burger joint - in St.Cergue.  And may I say - One HELL of a brilliant idea!

St.Cergue's real-estate is booming, buildings erupting everywhere and..we have a total of 2 pizza take-away options.  Along came Rando, giving a 3rd choice - definitely the best of the 3, offering its delicious Burgers, home-made country potatoes and dessert, eat-in or take-away! 

2 years down the line,  the menu has grown steadily and quality has NEVER wavered.  Ofcourse..it will be more expensive than the McDonalds down in Nyon..but hey..you gotta pay (and I hope want to) for quality.  Plus, quite frankly the burgers are BIGGER and taste better. Also, you can order by phone, on-line or simply when you get there.  Advice – best call in advance if it is the weekend or evening as the place gets pretty packed!  When you get there, if your burger isn’t ready or you are ordering “à la minute” they give you a handy buzzer which you can walk around town with – the minute your meal is ready, one heck of a buzz later you’re ready to dig in!

I have eaten many times at Rando, trying almost everything on their Menu (I have a few more visits to make before I become an expert). My favorite is the "Garlic Kiss".  One succulent Burger patty topped with caremlised onions, fresh salad, home-made AMAZING Garlic sauce in between two freshly baked burger buns. A true tribute to how the burger should and can taste.  It’s best eaten in house as it is served right off the grill still piping hot and juicy..mmm Slurp nom nom!!!

Also a must try – their home-made New York cheese cake with the raspberry sauce topping.  Although an extra 2 Francs are charged for the sauce, it is necessary to give a fresh note to the dessert and cut through that delicious cream cheese.

Bravo Rando! For showing the potential of what the humble Burger can be!
