Apple's Burger Blog

Taormina, Sicily

• Purpose:     Burger assessment

• Good for:    Filling up

• Verdict:       In a stereotypical Italian way, the pizzas weren't on, the beers were totally different to the menu and the fries arrived 5 minutes before the burgers, but it's a holiday so who cares. Apart from me obviously. Food was OK though, small portion of fries acting as a starter preceded a really large burger. In this case, the truism that bigger isn't necessarily better shone through - nothing gourmet, but reasonable. Bun did OK, especally given the size of it, no cheese flavour, no real taste from the meat either, so just OK. If you're bored of pizza and pasta - and don't tell anyone - then give it a go. Or spend 150 euros and go to Il Duomo.
