We’re champions of creativity here at Burger Days– it’s one of the reasons we highlight the area’s special monthly burgers with our BOTM posts. Not content with just reading about them, we also make it our mission to seek out and throw each of these creations into our faces. And now, we’re hitting you with the reviews while THESE BURGERS ARE STILL AROUND, so you can actually find out which of the BOTMs you should eat…or avoid. Our review of April's BOTMs:

Pimiento Burger - Bobby's Burger Palace

My first exposure to the wonder of pimento cheese was in Greenville, South Carolina at the

, a venerable local spot that's included in the George Motz's burger bible

Korean BBQ - BGR The Burger Joint

For the second time this year, I found myself with a Korean-inspired burger on my BOTM plate but unlike

Glenn Close - Burger Tap & Shake

Fajita Burger - Dogwood Tavern

This however, was a good burger, but nothing special, if you follow me. Dogwood Tavern has always been a bit of a conundrum for me, mostly because it's out of my way. I'm not in Falls Church enough that I'd haunt the place- I really only ever go to try their Burger of the Month. This leads to a weird, well, mental back and forth over their burgers. The burger itself is consistently good- always properly seasoned, and their grill guy has to be a genius as I've never seen such consistency in cooking, maintaining a juicy patty and getting a deep, even sear on the outside. And they've had some stellar monthly burger specials (I still recall the Hawaiian burger from last year .), if you follow me.

The fajita burger was supposed to have fajita seasonings –cumin, chili, garlic, onion, perhaps some cayenne– but it did not. Salt and pepper, but I expect that on every burger. Also, advertised as having pepper jack, I got no cheese. The onions, mushrooms and peppers were decent, slightly overcooked but not greasy, which is often a problem with fajita veggies (especially the mushrooms, which tend to act as oil sponges when cooked wrong.) For all intents and purposes this wasn't a fajita burger, just a decent burger with sauteed veggies on top. Disappointing, but perhaps kind of a one-off for them. Not going to stop me coming back, but I just never know what to expect from the burger of the month at Dogwood..
