Burgers from Takeout


I tried only three of them.
Twister:
It is like having a bun with bacon inside while chewing on other things you can see, but cannot identify with your taste-buds. Bun to patty ratio was far off. Burger patty was pretty dry and crumbly and the strong flavour of bacon bits masked everything inside, rendering the use of any condiment and the meat of the patty useless. Everything else in that burger was just to add to the mass.
Chicken Supreme:
I couldn't even tell the burger had cheddar. This must be a mock cheddar cheese, that has the colour and melted creamy texture but lacks the alluring salty characteristic flavour of the cheddar. Chicken breast was amazingly dry with strong outbursts of rosemary in every single bite. It was a struggle to go through half of it.
Beef and Bacon:
Was that the plan? I mean is the bun supposed to lose its texture and form and become something like milk soaked bread? The condiments were not balanced and the overuse of garlic mayonnaise first seems to go down well, but then becomes too heavy for the taste-buds and even the gut to take. But this is not even the worst part of this burger. Bacon already masks any flavour the patty thrived to give, but the patty is so big and chewy, and the bun is already out of sight within a couple of bites, this burger is in the 'never try again' list now. The patty is ought to be like that. When you make a large patty like that, there is too much contact with the meat and it tends to become firm and slightly bouncy like a sausage after the proteins have gelled the meat in the fridge. So they have compromised with the 'melt in the mouth experience' deciding to use such a big lumpy patty.
Their packaging is worth taking notice of and I really liked the way they can be unfolded to make paper plates. I must admit that I loved their honey mustard dip which was dense, sweet and pleasantly mustardy instead of an earthy kicking one.
