Mmmmmmm Cow!




Here's a yummy logo we recently did for a new gourmet burger shop in Riverview called the Tasty Cow. They are located within Diesel Pizza, 630 Pinewood Road in Riverview. Check them out, their burgers are de-lish!

UPDATE:

Here's an article about the Tasty Cow that appeared in the paper today written by Eric Lewis:


The Cowzilla, a giant burger with buns, two patties, three slices of bacon, onion, tomato and lettuce is now available at the Tasty Cow on Pinewood Avenue in Riverview. Jeff Hughes invites everyone to try this and many other gourmet burgers.


Riverview restaurant boasts peanut butter, mac & cheese burgers and much more


"Remember, only you can prevent boring burgers."

That line is included in the description for Smokey the Cow, one of 17 gourmet hamburgers offered at The Tasty Cow, an offshoot of Riverview's Diesel Pizza, located on Pinewood Road.


The burger features barbecue sauce, cheddar cheese, bacon and onion rings piled high on a six-ounce (170-gram) slab of beef.

Sounds like a lot? It's certainly not the most interesting burger on the menu.

That title might go to the PB and Cow, which offers peanut butter, mozzarella and bacon. Or better yet, the KD Cow, which comes dripping with Kraft Dinner, bacon and mozzarella cheese.

The Tasty Cow opened this week at 630 Pinewood Rd., the same location as Diesel Pizza. Owner of both Jeff Hughes says he's been noticing gourmet hamburger joints opening up across North America and he wanted to be the first to do so in Metro Moncton. Like Diesel Pizza, The Tasty Cow offers old-fashioned flavours right up to the most outrageous toppings one can think of.

Many of the burgers were inspired by pizzas available at Diesel, which offers a peanut butter pizza and a mac and cheese pizza.

"The burgers are handmade here, we make them," Hughes explains. "The buns we use are calabrese buns that we get at a local bakery. We have toppings like fresh pineapple. There's one burger that has caramelized pears, bacon and goat cheese on it. So some of them are pretty over-the-top."

Hughes says even with just a plain burger, one can taste the difference at The Tasty Cow. The beef, a combination of medium ground beef and certified Angus beef, is seasoned with special spices to make for a mouth-watering meal.

And no, The Tasty Cow isn't limited to just cow. The burger joint offers veggie burgers as well and one can make any of the specialty burgers into a veggie burger at no extra cost.

All burger orders come with fries, sweet potato fries, caesar salad or onion rings (for an extra buck).

The average burger and fry price is about $10, Hughes says.

The Tasty Cow may be in its infancy, but its big brother Diesel Pizza opened almost two years ago, and Hughes says business is going well.

"We still get a lot of people coming in asking for specific (pizzas) that they've heard of," he says. "The best sellers on the menu are the ones that are more uncommon or more outrageous. People are really looking for those kind of things that they can't get anywhere else."

He's hoping The Tasty Cow is as successful as its sibling, and in the long term, he would like to open a second location of the co-branded restaurant in Moncton or Dieppe.
