sobelmans and bombers

[Ari Gold]

no question or doubt about it... Sobelman's wins this easily.

I might actually watch this show now.

I still cannot believe that AJ Bombers is getting this much hype. I just dont understand it. Five Guys is sooo much better than AJ Bombers, but it is a national chain and thus cannot be on the show.

aj bombers has a very active twitter following. They're like a cult. A very gay cult

Food Wars tapes Thursday-saturday. so you can declare your allegiance on tape "If you're a partisan on either side of Milwaukee's burger wars and you want to declare your allegiance on camera, send an e-mail to foodfancasting@gmail.com."

The people at Bombers (bomber-philes?) have become utter dicks too: http://twitpic.com/1l0bd4

I like Bombers. Know some of the people there, nice folks. Good to very good burger.

But they're in for a whoopin, on two levels. First, the bun. Not even close. Second, the burger itself. The meat Bombers uses falls apart easily, and every burger becomes a mess because of it. The beef Sobelman's uses is far, far superior.

And you're right, the Bombers twitter groupies are really becoming tiresome.

I agree. Both are exceptionally tasty. they're on a completely different level than any other place in Milwaukee. But the Sobel-bun is exceptional. But you're two points are dead on.

I too have gotten to know quite a few of the people who work at Bombers and they are really nice. I also like how they do try different burger options to try and keep the menu fresh - though I wish they would go more Kuma with some of their efforts.

But, they are going to crushed on foodwars. As 12 pointed out, the only thing Bombers uses that are better are the secondary ingredients like the cheese and bacon. The burger and buns are not even close.

I do wish Sobelman's was as good as it was about 8 years ago. The burgers are not nearly as sloppy with toppings as they used to when things would be everywhere. Oh man those were to DIE for. Would be on par with the aforementioned Kuma.

I second that thought.  I remember them being much better when I was in school, and far more loaded.

I've been agnostic on this whole Burger Wars thing so far, but I'll agree with Ari Gold and MUFan12 on this:  the whole Twitter ****-off of AJ Bombers is getting REALLY obnoxious. Don't get me wrong, I am a Twitter user, but I almost don't want to go to Bombers because of it.  It's filled with people who's lives seemingly don't exist outside of their Twitter feed.

Now, on the actual burgers, Bombers has some fantastically unique creations (i.e. the Barbie Burger and their Monte Cristo are amazing), but if you strip the toppings away, you get an average burger & average bun at best.  Sobleman's, though, gives you a thick burger and one of the best buns around; even if you didn't load it up Sobelman's-style (with the 3 cheeses, bacon, jalepenos, and onions), it would beat just about any burger in MKE on it's bare components alone.  

Give me the Double Sobelman vs. the Bomber Burger any day of the week.

I admit I've never had a Bombers burger and from reading some of that crap on Twitter I am 100% positive I'd vote for Bella's Fat Cat over AJ Bombers.

I second this... Bella's is much better than any Bomber burger.

You bastards are making me hungry! I hate you all!!   

[DavantesInferno]

Anyone know who won?

[Ari Gold]

Bombers won

I wish bombers would have lost. They could have poisoned their burgers and their twitter jerkoffs could have died out like a real cult.

[jaybilaswho?]

i heard that it wasnt the actual Sobleman Burger vs the Bomber Burger. That it was just the buns, patty, lettuce, tomato, and raw onions- which everyone of us know is nowhere near a Sobelman Burger. thats horse turds.

Actually it was a burger with Nueske's bacon, colby cheese and fried onions.

I am really confused as to how Sobelmans wouldn't win on these grounds.

Ok, so I've been wanting to get to Bombers for a while and I finally got out of the office today for lunch at Bombers, the acclaimed rival to Sobelman's... what a joke!  I gotta be honest, Bombers didn't even come CLOSE to Sobelman's in my opinion.  I will say Bombers had better toppings (better bacon, lettuce, etc), but that's where it ends.  Sobelman's buns, burgers themselves and even the cheese was better at Sobelman's if you ask me.

It is almost making me mad to hear that Bombers won the 'Food wars' because clearly something wasn't right with those people!

I think they were communists.

Does anybody know who the judges were?

No clue, but I totally agree that they must've been Commies

Did you go to the taping? I'm just confused because this is what Sobelmans posted on their fb page a while back:

Sobelmans Pub and Grill:  Don't believe the hype, nobody knows for sure who the REAL winner was until the show airs!

Anyone know when the air date is?

[TexMex]

Anyone know when the air date is?

I had the privilege of dining at bombers last weekend. The waitress said the episode would air sometime in August. She also said she knew who the winner was but obviously couldn't tell anyone.
As a self proclaimed burger connoisseur, I have to admit that I have switched my burger loyalty from Sobelmans over to bombers. I wouldn't be surprised if Bombers comes out on top.

Sounds like one of Bomber's twitter trolls.

Seriously... and that was his first post. That must be Sorge himself trying to sway popular opinion.

I still will not set foot in Bombers anymore and I live two blocks away.
