| - Quick update. Came for a Wednesday lunch, and I ordered the Steak Burger. Last time I came I had their INCREDIBLE Vietnamese Pork sandwich, which my buddy Jeff ordered today (he LOVED it!).
Unfortunately, when I got my burger, I got yet another Depleted Uranium (DU) bun. Well, ok. This time it was Titanium. I showed my waiter the heft of this bun, and I said if I had pirhanna teeth I still wouldn't be able to eat it. Sad part is that I remember getting this hard bun a year or so ago....maybe they kept it that long???
OK, the Waiter and Manager attempted to make this right. They took my DU Burger and put in a new order. Right call. The Manager asked if he could get me something while I waited for my new order. He brought me out some grits with bacon. Sounded yummy. Unfortunately it was average at best. Grits were not fully cooked (or maybe they were just designed to be texturally stiff?). Could have used more flavor...I left the majority of that "snack" on the table.
Burger took a long while to come out, but it did, and it was better. Look the bun was softer the second time around....but it's still a dense bun. But I don't understand why this Jim Noble restaurant insists on using HARD BREAD for their burgers? Note to Rooster's Management: USE SOFT BUNS! Try Brioche.....Cowfish uses Brioche buns and they make their burgers ROCK! Nothing like butter and burger....it's a match made in heaven!
So this rating is for their burger. Waiter and Manager tried doing the right thing. And I appreciate that. But using hard buns just don't work for me. Hard to believe since they make such delicious, fresh bread at King's Kitchen. I mean, they have an awesome, soft bun for their Vietnamese Pork sandwich. Why not use that Rooster's for your burger? My mouth (and teeth) would be SO much happier! Yeay.
