| - I was in the mood for a good burger joint close to my office so where else did I go to find one? Of course, right here.
I discovered "How We Tease" based on proximity and rating. And I visited their web site to find great photos of their burgers that incurred a Homeresque drool.
I ordered the standard Howie T's burger, spicy fries and spicy mayo.
Now I know that there is a such thing as exuberant kids behind the condiment bar ready to top your order just the way you like it. Just visit any Burrito Boyz and you'll see. But this place had a pair of 'em that made it plainly obvious that their brains were focused on something far from making me happy.
I got my burger and waited an additional 5 minutes for my fries to fry.
My total was somewhere in the 9 or 10 dollar range. My friend, however, who ordered the "Fun Guy Burger" (I preferred to call it the Fun Boy Burger when he ordered to get under his skin) paid in excess of $18 for his lunch, with a couple extra premium toppings on his burger and a bottle of Coke as opposed to fountain.
I sat down with my lunch and immediately noticed the odd bun. After one bite, I discarded half. It was 4 times the weight and volume of the patty, dense and cold. I could barely taste the flavour of the patty with the carb-monstrosity that surrounded it.
After two bites, the power went out, (I know, I know, not their fault) but we were promptly asked to leave based on safety precautions (something about the gas still running from the grills, yadda yadda).
All and all, not a pleasant experience. Don't let the pics of the burgers on their site fool ya at "How We Tease".
