We’ve got another restaurant review from Nicole over at Bacon and Bakin. Here she reviews Stax in Scottsdale.

And not only does she review the restaurant but offers advice on building your own burger there.

The muse of the double-sided menu at Stax is the burger. Poor decision-makers may find a meal at Stax overwhelming, as building your burger can be a multi-step process. So, let’s break down the ordering process:

1a) Order one or two of the Stax-style burgers, pre-built sliders w/topping ranging from bruschetta to exotic salsas. Basically, you’re putting your trust in the kitchen, but have confidence in the chefs, as they know what they’re doing when it comes to combining flavors. Skip to step 8.
OR
1b) Begin building your own burger. “Burger,” however, is loosely defined at Stax, where your sandwich patty can be made from 3 oz. of beef, bison, turkey, lamb, ostrich, salmon, or veggies. (I took my own liberties at home, making sliders out of chicken.) Choose one meat per sandwich. Order two for lunch, three for dinner, four for coronary.

2) Add a cheese like cheddar, jack, or feta. Or not.

3) Add some bacon. This is not an option, but rather a requirement, as far as I see it.

4) Add some veggies, like the traditional lettuce and tomato or the more exotic flamingo-pink pickled onions.

5) Add a sauce, including a couple variety of salsas.

6) Add an aioli, such as pesto, chipotle, or spicy.

7) Choose how many carbs you can take: have your burger(s) served on a bun, topless (just the bottom of the bun), naked (no bun), or on a bed of greens

Ogle other people’s food as it comes out of the kitchen, wondering if your food is going to look as awesome.

9) Rejoice! Your food does look as awesome as other’s people’s.

10) Sink your teeth into your juicy meat gem
