FUUD: Papa’s Burgers in Market City

By Catherine Toth Fox • December 9, 2011 • Food

You can’t have too many burger joints.

Especially of these eateries feature 100 percent grass-fed Big Island beef, local produce and milkshakes so thick you’ll hyperventilate trying to drink them.

That’s on the menu at Papa’s Burgers, a new family-owned burger spot in Market City Shopping Center, about a mile from the University of Hawaii-Manoa campus. It opened about four weeks ago to mostly rave reviews, and I wanted to check it out myself.

The menu is small but eclectic. It features eight signature burgers — bibimbap burger, pork and shrimp burger, black bean veggie burger — and a few sides. Some standouts include the freshly cut fries (made from whole potatoes) and the real ice cream shakes.

Here’s what my recent visit looked like:

Price: $30 online or at pet boutiques such as Calvin & Susie in Kilohana Square

The gist: Bored of the usual dog outfits? Or your pooch is quite the fashion diva? Get a kimono (or yukata) from Honolulu-based Inu Inu Hawaii, which specializes in unique Asian-inspired apparel for dogs. They come in all sizes — in fact, you can custom order ones for larger breeds — and patterns. Imagine your Rottweiler in one of these!

Best for: Dog owners, of course!

    Hello Cat! Fuud pixs Friday!
    I went to Gina’s a few weeks ago and looked at the menu at Papa’s burgers but Gina’s was calling me so I went there instead. More for your money at Gina’s.

      LOL. Well, if you ever stop by Papa’s, let me know what you think!
