Owensboro Burger Week: The Ultimate Picky Eater’s Guide

If you’re a picky eater who still wants to enjoy the best of Owensboro’s Burger Week, this guide is just for you! I’ve rounded up some delicious options even a simpleton like me would eat.

How I became such a fussy eater is beyond me. Growing up, my mom made sure I ate everything on my plate and I hated it. I’d often find myself sitting at the table for hours, forcing down foods I didn’t like, mostly out of stubbornness. My 10-year-old palate has stuck with me since those days, and now I’m pretty particular about what I’ll eat. My list of condiments is limited to ketchup, BBQ sauce, and hot sauces, and the only veggies I’ll touch are French-style green beans from a can, corn, tomatoes, and potatoes. As for seafood, forget about it unless it’s Mrs. Paul’s frozen fish. I love meat, especially chicken, but when it comes to trying new things, I tend to stick to what I know. That’s why Owensboro Burger Week is such a challenge for me! Can you relate?

FUSSY EATERS GUIDE TO NAVIGATING BURGER WEEK

Owensboro Burger Week can be challenging for someone with a simpler palate like me. With restaurants slathering on special sauces, piling on onions and peppers, and adding all sorts of unique ingredients, it’s more of an adventure for people like Chad and my husband who’ll try anything. For me, it’s all about digging deep into the burgers to find the ones that keep things straightforward. When you’re not a fan of the extras, navigating Burger Week can be a bit tricky!

Luckily, this year’s Burger Week will feature a record number of participating restaurants, with endless options to choose from! There will be plenty of choices to suit all tastes including mine.

During Burger Week, it can be really challenging for restaurants to make the advertised burgers exactly to our specifications. The high volume of orders often makes it difficult to accommodate every custom request. That’s why I’ve chosen burgers that any picky eater would love without modifications. What are your thoughts?
