No matter how many burgers are part of this year's Downtown Sioux Falls Burger Battle, it's hard to decide which burgers to try. I know I'm not going to finish all 40 burgers. But it's all about supporting local Sioux Falls restaurants, like Ode To Food and Drinks. My 8th burger is the "Big Spin Dipper."

According to a previous article from my co-worker Jeff Harkness, the Big Spin Dipper is a "6oz house wagyu beef blend grilled to order topped with melted provolone cheese, spinach artichoke dip & fried linguini on a toasted egg bun with sundried tomato aioli + sidekick of your choice {fries, garlic mash, sweet potato chips, soup, house salad, Caesar salad, cucumber salad, roasted sweet potatoes}." This burger was the biggest surprise for me throughout this year's battle. It's really tasty!

I am a huge fan of spinach artichoke dip, so I was hooked. The wagyu beef blend complemented these ingredients so well. Adding the sweet potato chips is a genius idea for dipping into the spinach artichoke dip...hence the "spin dipper" name. For me, this was a solid burger. I never thought spinach artichoke on a burger would be so good! The Big Spin Dipper is one of my top favorites this year.

The Coldest Temperatures EVER in Sioux Falls

When a polar vortex rolls through Sioux Falls, it can get even the heartiest dreaming of indoor fires, baking, and hot chocolate.

Mr. Bendo is tough enough but for the love of Pete, someone put a scarf on the Statue of David!

All this icy chatter had us wondering about the coldest days ever recorded in Sioux Falls. Here is the historical data from the National Weather Service with the coldest temps ever recorded in Sioux Falls since record-keeping began in 1893.
