Non Sit Down Établissement Round (Scroll down for less sophisticated English review)

Bon-Burger-Truck.jpg
Cette série se compose d’un ou les deux hamburger et des endroits Agiter avoir aucune salle à manger intérieure établie. Cette série sera composée de camions de nourriture et de marcher jusqu’à restaurants. Terrasse extérieure peut être présent, mais pas de grands patios sont dans le fair-play.
I, étant le James Bond de Burgers décidé sur Bon Burger pour notre Burger Round
Il n’y a pas un véhicule alimenté au gaz en Saskatchewan qui fait un hamburger plus fine. Si vous êtes assez chanceux pour les traquer comme je l’avais telle difficulté à le faire, vous allez Bonkers pour cette Burger Bonanza.
Nous sommes allés pour le Double Dare Burger et laissez-moi vous dire qu’à l’heure actuelle, il est le hamburger mieux notés à ce jour depuis le début de Burger Agiter club !!!!
Il y avait des garnitures à gogo qui a fait Danny Y crissent avec délice, il y avait un petit pain solide JC commenté “pourrait être mieux”, mais était plus que suffisant. Enfin il y avait 2 délicieuses galettes de hamburger et lorsque vous mettez tout cela ensemble vous vous retrouvez avec un hamburger très bonne. Après avoir terminé cette merveilleuse création nous 3 simplement assis dos, détendu et laissa échapper un soupir satisfait (composé de 2 parties d’oxygène et une partie du dioxyde de carbone).
Si nous avions à pinailler nous suggérons de faire disparaître la galette de pain supplémentaire au milieu, mais le score ne se trouve pas, ce Burger était phénoménal. Avec des hamburgers comme cela, vous n’avez pas besoin d’un restaurant que les gens seront heureux de chasser votre camion burger dans la rue pour obtenir une morsure.

Moy Burger Score: 43.83 / 50

Une fois que les sueurs de la viande rouge sont morts en bas nous étions en route pour notre Agiter
Je devais suivre le choix de hamburger succès avec une secousse aussi impressionnant que je décidai sur Dessart Sweets crème glacée et Candy Store
Ce magasin est comme le rêve d’un enfant de 6 ans qui se réalise ou dans notre rêve cas 3 hommes adultes se réalise. Bonbons / chocolat / crème glacée. Vous pouvez obtenir des bonbons avec des mots de blasphème dans le titre qui plaisait Danny Y ou revenir dans le temps et l’achat de bonbons populaires dans votre jeunesse.

Dessart commencé et ils ont beaucoup de choix pour Shakes. Je suis allé avec PB et le chocolat, les garçons sont allés avec un chocolat café mélange aromatisé. Malheureusement, ils ne sont pas servis dans les boîtes métalliques classiques mais quand elle a demandé «Voulez-vous que Malt” Je savais que je devais un gagnant sur mes mains
«Lait malté est un gruau en poudre fabriqué à partir d’un mélange d’orge malté, farine de blé et le lait évaporé entier”
Il peut ne pas sembler beaucoup, mais putain ça ajouter une autre dimension de la saveur à votre Shake.
Danny Y a Malt moins et ressenti la secousse a été légèrement défaut. JC et moi-même, les vétérinaires chevronnés, sont allés avec le Malt et étaient ravis.
La secousse était très épaisse, riche et délicieux. Il a été l’un de nos shakes mieux cotés
Agiter Avg: 41.67 / 50
Score total Burger / Shake: 85,5

Ce combo Burger and Shake était de 0,1 au large de notre plus haut score total à ce jour
Tout ce que je dois dire à mes deux frères burger est bonne chance de battre ce garçons ronds !!!!
Vous pouvez aussi bien épingler le ruban du gagnant sur moi en ce moment.

IN ENGLISH:

Non- Sit Down Establishment Round

This round consists of one or both burger and Shake places to have no established indoor eating area. This round will consist of food trucks and walk up eateries. Outdoor seating can be present but no large patios are in fair play.

I, being the James BONd of Burgers decided on Bon Burger for our Burger Round

Bon-Burger-Truck.jpg

There is not a gas powered vehicle in Saskatchewan that makes a finer burger. If you are lucky enough to track them down as I had such difficulty doing, you will go BONkers for this Burger BONanza.

We went for the Double Dare Burger and let me just say that as of now it is the highest rated burger to date since the inception of Burger Shake Club!!!!

There were toppings galore which made Danny Y squeal with delight, there was a solid bun which JC commented “could be better”, but was more than adequate. Lastly there was 2 delicious burger patties and when you put all this together you end up with one Tres BONne burger. After finishing this wonderful creation the 3 of us just sat back, relaxed and let out a satisfied breath (consisting of 2 parts oxygen and one part CarBON dioxide).

If we had to nitpick we would suggest doing away with the extra bun patty in the middle but the score does not lie, this Burger was phenomenal. With burgers like this you don’t need a restaurant as people will gladly chase your burger truck down the street to get a bite.

 

Avg Burger Score: 43.83/50

 

Once the Red Meat sweats died down we were off for our Shake

I had to follow up the successful burger choice with an equally impressive Shake so I decided on Dessart Sweets Ice Cream and Candy Store

This store is like a 6 year old child’s dream come true or in our case 3 grown men’s dream come true. Candy/chocolate/ice cream. You can get candies with profanity words in the title which pleased Danny Y or go back in time and purchase candies popular in your youth.

Dessart started out well as they have plenty of choices for Shakes. I went with PB and chocolate, the boys went with a Chocolate Coffee flavoured blend. Unfortunately they are not served in the classic metal tins but when she asked “Would you like Malt” I knew I had a winner on my hands

“Malted milk is a powdered gruel made from a mixture of malted barley, wheat flour, and evaporated whole milk”

It may not sound like much but damn does it add another flavour dimension to your Shake.

Danny Y went Malt less and felt the shake was slightly lacking. JC and myself, seasoned vets, went with the Malt and were delighted.

The shake was very thick, rich and delicious. It was one of our higher rated shakes

Shake Avg: 41.67/50

Total Burger/Shake Score: 85.5

 

This Burger and Shake combo was 0.1 off of our highest total score to date

All I have to say to both of my burger brothers is BONne Chance beating this round boys!!!!

You may as well pin the Winner’s ribBON on me right now.

Wendys and BK Redemption?

Spoiler Alert:  Its only fitting that Mikey wins the ‘Redemption Round’ as he has used mercy to redeem himself on more than one occasion.

To be clear, this is not to be confused with Mikeys redemption from taking us to the Polar Palace (which was closed for the season) or the time that he felt too ill from the Rita challenge to eat his milkshake, so was granted a one day extension on the shake.  Further, it should not be confused with the Shamrock shake chosen that next day which tasted like an old chalky mint from Grandmas pocket (not YOUR grandma, someone else grandma who also keeps an often used handkerchief in that same pocket).  The Shamrock was tossed and Mikey was granted a mulligan as we headed back to McDonalds for a chocolate shake.

To be fair: He’s proved to be the King of Redemption and has earned the crown this round.

I’m not saying that I waved the white flag, but the 5.5 point improvement in Mikeys choice of Carl’s Jr. was a massive undertaking. So I decided that if I was going down, it would be with a delicious burger and shake in my belly!

The Wendy’s Baconator scored well the first round and didn’t really need redemption.

Juicy double patty, bacon, cheese – no brainer: delicious.

The BK Shake is where I was looking for redemption.  When we went the first time, the choice to not order a chocolate shake was a grave mistake.  You will be hard pressed to find a drive through establishment that serves up a more delicious and thick chocolate milkshake.

We dined in this time to take in the ambience of the Kings lair.  To soak in the smell of whopper sauce and onions and to allow Danny Y to negotiate, face to face, with our server.

Danny Y:  Can I mix Oreo and Chocolate together in a milkshake?

Server: No

Danny Y (with a whimper and single tear rolling down his cheek): You can’t use the chocolate shake to make my Oreo milkshake instead of Vanilla?

She made him a pity shake, which he was not too proud to accept.

It was an improvement from the first round, the rankings improved slightly but Mikey was nervous about securing his pending victory and may have underrated the thickness (in my opinion).  A little like the basehead from Menace II Society who had them cheeseburgers.  We all remember what lengths he was willing to go to…

All in all, a good round with entertaining banter and delicious burgers and shakes all around.

Good choice on redemption round Danny Y, and a tip of the hat to Mikey on the victory!

Curious Case of Carl’s Jr.

My redemption round took us back to Carl’s Jr where our first taste of Carl’s was during the drive through round. I hate to say it but my last experience in the Carl’s Jr parking lot in a parked car with JC and Danny Y did not go as planned. Pause ……… for JC to think of an inappropriate response…………. Now back to my review.

Our first go around, Carl’s Jr burgers were pretty good. We had a pretzel bun the patty was a bit dry and the bacon could have been better but what can you expect from a drive thru burger.
The shake on the other hand was just this side of pure water. No thickness, below average taste and all around disappointing.

I felt Carl’s may be able to redeem itself with a simple move indoors to eat our lunch. We all know sometimes the drive thru doesn’t give the best representation of what an establishment has to offer.
We couldn’t remember the exact name of the burger we ordered so we went with the Western bacon cheeseburger. This burger did not have a pretzel bun but once JC was done sulking about it, we all agreed the burger was decent to solid with near identical ratings as the first go around.

WHAT WE ATE:

WHAT WE SHOULD HAVE HAD:


I knew at that point I needed a serious shake redemption to have a chance at winning this round.
Being inside helped as you could see on the menu they had about 8 flavours to choose from and as luck would have it we happened to be dining on $2 shake day. After trying to convince the boys we all get multiple $2 shakes to try all flavours, to no avail, Danny and JC ordered a mixed coffee flavoured Oreo concoction. I went with the Brownie – Oreo mixture.
After much confusion with our order as our milkshake barista was unsure about our mixtures, we nervously waited for our shakes doubting the orders would be correct.
She came through and with very few extras and only a minor increase in thickness the taste was far superior to our first go around. The thickness was still a problem especially for Danny Y but the taste was so much better than before it helped relieve some of the other concerns.
The experience was definitely better overall with the shake putting me in the lead for the Redemption Round.

Up next JC
