| - This should be a five star review. The ingredients seem very fresh. The fries are great (as is the fry sauce), the prices aren't exorbitant...so what's the problem?
Flavor, that's the problem. There was NO flavor. I could tell they were using good quality meat based on the texture, but it was the most bland burger I've ever had in my life.
I thought, "Maybe it's just my burger. Every place can mess one up." so I tried my wife's burger. Nope. Bland. Flavorless. Missing any manner of savoriness.
She gave up about halfway through hers, so I picked her burger up, removed the bun and toppings, and just tasted the beef by itself. Yup...great texture, not an ounce of flavor. So I picked up another chunk, grabbed the salt shaker and poured literally 4 grains of salt on the chunk of meat. Not a bunch, only four goddamned crystals.
Holy shit, I could suddenly taste the beef! There was flavor! It was buttery and rich! What the fuck? Did they skip salt? I don't want a salty burger or anything but crap, use SOME.
We agreed there was literally nothing there that would make that burger win over a damn In N Out Burger. I don't understand all these accolades...you can use the best ingredients in the world but if you refuse to give it flavor, there's no point.
