This place is awesome. Seriously awesome.
I've been here twice now. I would go more often but it's the sort of thing that needs to spaced out to appreciate its greatness (and also to minimise the risk of a heart attack). The food is amazing. This time I ordered the Holy Trinity burger combo (pulled pork, pork belly, pieces of bacon with pickles and your choice of cheese).
One thing is clear: I shouldn't have ordered the combo, the burger was more than filling on its own. With that said, the chips are excellent. They're quite moreish and a little spicy.
On to the burger. It had an abundance of each meat. The pulled pork was moist, the pork belly was tender and the bacon was cooked perfectly. Personally, I enjoy it when you get bacon on a burger and it tastes like bacon, rather than ham. I usually steer clear of pickles (I've never really liked them) but perhaps the ones they used are of a better quality and/or cut properly. I quite enjoyed the contrast.
The serving size, as mentioned earlier was quite large. I got it to take away and found that when I got home it wasn't the easiest thing to pick up out of the container. I bet it would be a gloriously messy time trying to eat this at the restaurant. I'll have to save that pleasure for another day.
They also have a selection of American soft drinks available for purchase which adds to the theme and experience quite well. As much as my body is telling me to wait a while before my next trip here, I can't wait to go back, but then comes the dilemma of choosing whether to try another burger, or opt for the flattened chicken, buffalo wings or the ribs. Decisions, decisions.
I just might have to bring a few friends so I don't have to choose just one item. I think that's called "sharing".
Until next time, Tornados! read more
