I've eaten at this place before, and I enjoyed it a lot. This time I went for the burger, and as I always do, the Garlic Fries.
The Score
Burger - FAIL
Really wasn't digging the burger at all. The bun was actually a little bit burnt, but the actual taste of the bun itself was a little too sweet for my tastes. The burger was nicely charred on the outside, but the meat in the middle was pretty grey - rawish, but not in the deep red awesome way - it was more like it had gently boiled, which made it pretty soggy. The patty itself was also pretty bland - needed some more seasoning to lift it.
The worst aspect was the amount of grease, which seemed to have been generated by the muenster cheese - it totally saturated the bottom of the bun and made it really slimy to eat. It totally put me off it to be honest - I couldn't finish the thing as it was making me want to barf.
Shame, as I really dug the "Silence of the Lambs" wrap I had there before.
Garlic Fries - EPIC WIN
I get these every time, because they are awesome. A crunchy fry with a crispy garlic batter on the outside, and a scattering of raw garlic on top. They are served with an anchovy, caper aoli - which is as awesome as it sounds. However, I couldn't manage all of them today as I was so greased out by the burger. They are best shared with someone as they are so rich they can make you feel a bit bloated afterwards!
