Breakfast Burger at the Kailua Town Farmer's Market on Sunday morning...
I was strolling around between vendors when the name of this booth caught my attention...
JOURNEY!
This is my niece's name... and the name of a popular music group!
I took a look at the menu and noticed "Lava Rock Buns"... hmmm... intriguing... looks like charcoal colored bread! I also saw "red chili aioli" and asked if I could get a Breakfast Burger without spiciness. The young man asked me if I wanted to taste it... no, thank you! He also asked if I wanted bacon on my burger - ok! (I paid $3 extra for the bacon.)
Curious about "Golden Macnut Milk", I inquired about this, too. Besides turmeric, other spices, including ginger, are added to plain Macnut milk to give it the yellowish hue. Ok...let's try it!
It was fun to watch the chef cut the buns, toast them, assemble the ingredients in a stack, flip the eggs on the griddle, etc. He asked me how I wanted my egg and I asked for overeasy so that it's less messy. He put my burger in a takeout box and as I walked away, I exclaimed that I didn't get my Golden Macnut Milk! The cashier reached into the bowl of ice and gave me a jar.
When I got home, I eagerly cut my burger open and felt hesitant about eating it because it was quite rare. I was hungry, so, I dug in and enjoyed the crunch of the pickle wedges and the slight heat from the Maple Onion Jam. Mmm... the bun was soft and kind of fell apart. Overall, I liked this tasty, complex burger burger!
I drank the Golden Macnut Milk - very smooth with a tiny kick from the ingredients that settle to the bottom of the jar.
Anyway, it was odd that there was no bacon in my burger. I'll have to return and let them know... I do wish the best for this new small business! They're very friendly and patiently helpful! read more
