Who wouldn't be down for that. TastyBunz has a cool concept and I can appreciate the work that goes into making each of the unique buns, but it falls a bit short for me.
I guess what first falls is that tax is separate from their prices so.. 1 bun for $3 to $3.24, 3 buns for $6 to $6.49, and 6 buns for $11 to $11.89. A litle bit pricey, but what can you do? They don't accept card so you will have some change. The buns are pretty bite size and the ratio of dough to meat is somewhat leaning on the dough side, but maybe thats the only way to cook it?
The McCheesy is stuffed with mac & cheese with truffles, but it didn't seem to have a dominant truffle flavor.
The bbq rib bun was interesting, cilantro mixed into the dough and the rib was still moist, rib was tasty, but couldn't taste the cilantro.
The bacon bird is probably my favorite of the ones I've tried, reminded of a chicken bake from Costco because it had a nice creamy chicken and bacon filling.
I haven't had the sloppy bun (spaghetti filled) yet because they've always been out.. arghhhh.
The bacon dog (~$4 something) was pretty delish, it is split fried, and has a heavy garlic aioli sauce.
The packaging is pretty cool and a custom sticker to seal it is a nice touch. I'll probably visit again to get the sloppy bun and try some of their desserts.
Side note: if you're a big eater like me then come hungry, but not starving lol.
