Apple's Burger Blog
I love burgers. This is a record of my burger eats for posterity, for when I inevitably die of burger related disease and/or obesity. Enjoy Apple's burger reviews, enjoy burgers more (responsibly of course)
Let this be a tasty warning. Enjoy !

Verdict: Despite mucho advertising about the quality of the product, it wasn't mucho evident in the finished product. A reasonable brioche bun which held together to the end, nice enough lettuce/tomato, a bit non-descript cheese and a dry, indistinct patty didn't do enough to warrant anything good to say. Backed up by not very nice skin-on chips (floury feel of manufactured and frozen), I was again disappointed. Couple of beers from Camden - at last a positive - or a bottled Heineken, and a couple of wines covered the alcohol requirement.

Verdict: The theme of the set-up is worship, so here goes..... I confess to making a terrible error - I strayed from the path of only having basic Cheeseburger righteousness, and with divine approval (the wife OK'd it) I was seduced by Juicy Lucifer. The promised land never appeared, it indeed appears that Lucifer does in fact lie. What I received was a bacon cheeseburger with some jalapenos, which in contrast to the warning "molten hot lava inside" was cold. Not only was it not a juicy lucy (where cheese is embedded inside the patty - in case you don't know), it wasn't even hot. And neither were the jalapenos. This was a shame, because the meat was nice, the briochy bun was effective, and the overall taste was good. If I'd ordered the Bacon Cheeseburger, and it had been hot, it would have scored well. As it was, the burger was a sin for the wrong reasons, so I'm crucifying it. I'd also set Herod on the "fired up" fries, which were starchy crisp (coating?), not hellfire, more purgatory. Drinks from a good range were helpful.
