Dugg Burger opens in Plano this week

Dugg Burger is the beefy, juicy epitome of an "I wish I'd thought of that..." moment. The concept is so simple yet so brilliant, enough so that it has boosted the Dallas-born fast-casual restaurant to a second location, this time in Plano. On May 10, it will open in the Berkeley Square shopping center, adjacent to Studio Movie Grill just off Park Blvd.

When you step up to order, your bun is hollowed out and toasted on a custom warmer. While your patty cooks, you pick from among the Dugg Dozen -- that's 12 toppings -- that settle neatly into the now lower-carb covering -- which means the lettuce and tomatoes won't likely slide off a too-full sandwich.

There's also a Lucky 13 topping, which changes weekly, and has included grilled pineapple, Asian slow or pico de gallo. They've even done creative themes, like Bacon Week back in February -- which included bacon jam, bacon cheese spread and bourbon bacon slaw -- and doughnut holes from Hypnotic Donuts on National Doughnut Day.

Otherwise, the menu is mostly simple, including fries, sodas, milkshakes, wine and local craft beers. By the time you make it to check-out, your patty should be grilled up and ready to go.

Collin County residents less familiar with the concept might wonder: What happens to the bread once it's dug out of the bun?

The restaurant also serves caramel covered bread pudding made from bun cast-offs. It's a 50-plus year old recipe created by one of the co-founders’ mothers.

Meal prices range from $7.75 for a burger to $13.75 for a burger, fries and beer combo. The new Dugg Burger is located at 4701 West Park Blvd., #110, in Plano.
