The past few years, we’ve seen the rise of the burger from fastfood outlet obscurity — playing second fiddle to the omnipresent bestseller, fried chicken — to being a star of its own.  For how can you explain the sprouting of burger joints locally, each one trying to outdo the others by tweaking with the burger variables — the beef, the serving size, the fillings, even the bun.  We like to call them gourmet burgers and like everything that’s referred to as such, they also carry a hefty price tag.

We’ve tried several of these gourmet burgers in the recent past so an invite to try Teddy’s Bigger Burgers was something we couldn’t ignore.  In the “burger wars” being waged, how will this Hawaiian import stack up to its beefy competition?  Was the “burger buzz” generated by its coming (and the hefty price) mere fluff or does it live up to the hype?
