| - Came here for lunch and BOY is this place popular. Considering it's inside the mall and there's TONS of other options, it seemed to be the one of the few retailers with a long line up.
So, in hopes of finding the greatest burger of all time, I decided to give the eccentric menu a dance.
Blue Burger - You can ask for whole wheat bun which is great for a more diverse option to the standard burger. Good sign. The cashier ran through a few options, which again is a good sign (even with the long line up) she didn't rush me to make a decision but helped me by explaining what Gorgonzola was. The burger wasn't meatier in comparison to a regular Harvey's burger. The toppings to this Signature burger was
gorgonzola - which is a sort of cheese, I changed it to Jalapeno Havarti
avocado - main reason I selected this signature. I can't say it was a good mix...just...different.
rosemary garlic mayo - they didn't have enough of this on the burger. I asked for some on the side. The mayo concentration was more than I would've hoped for. I couldn't taste the garlic :'( sadness
I added Caramelized Onions- which were delicious , especially with the generous portion.
I usually like my burger to have a kick. Not a i-hate-you kick. More like a muy Thai Ong Bak kind of kick. The kind of burger that makes you remember her name and address and brings up creepy instincts to gps her, just in case. While the toppings gave this burger some kick, it wasn't the kick I was looking for. The avocado was too squishy and mixed with the mayo, it got greasy - super quick. That taste carried throughout which made me sad.
Side of Onion rings - My favourite onion rings are from A&W. Now, I know the kind of onion rings I like and this was DEFINITELY not it. It tasted AND looked like a warmed up version of a no frills frozen bag of onion rings. I tried dipping it into concoctions of ketchup, mayo, ketchup and mayo, ketchup mayo and mustard, mustard, ketchup and BBQ sauce. Nada. She went dead on me.
Needless to say , the burger is mediocre. Alas the search for the best burger continues.
You get to watch your burger go through the assembly line and the staff are pretty efficient but this one girl had her Iphone up against the glass and i was reading all her facebook updates. apparently some Asian guy was very insistent on her fb profile. After a few minutes she asked " anything good on there?" and i let her know of the alias name. Apparently a few staff members down, was this girls bf. Needless to say, he wasn't pleased with this other guy poking her fb profile so much. There was some tensioned looks after that. I don't know what happened next but my burger arrived and I bounced.
Maybe the hefty prices also include watching the "real life" version of Breaker High.
