VENDOR: David Lloyd Leisure Centre
NARRATIVE: Its been a big weekend for Sport in the UK with sport relief so I earned a cheeky burger for lunch on saturday. Everything is calorie rated so at least you know the damage you are doing to yourself!
BURGER: Ended up being good quality and full of flavour! Nice and thick. No herbs or anything just good beef!
BUN: Brilliant - three seed sesame, toasted to perfection and able to stand up to the fat factory! Very impressive!
DRIP FACTOR: Horrific! From just looking at it the fat started to pour out of it, it carried on just as the roll was turned sideways and required some squeezing to clear it out. Leaving a delightful pool of fat on the plate! Suggests to me it was cooked from frozen.
DID IT HOLD TOGETHER? After the fat drainage yes it was actually really well constructed. Held together extremely well.
COULD WE ACTUALLY EAT IT? Yes - devoured it!
CHIPS: Proper english chips to look at! But actually not cooked through properly so soft and cold on the inside. Largely left them, which was just as well given i was in a gym!
WOULD WE GO THERE AGAIN? I am a member, so yes but another burger- probably not! Caesar salad is much nicer!
OVERALL SUMMARY: Gyms cant do burgers. It had bacon which was not cooked enough to add flavour and was fatty so needed to be trimmed. Salsa that came with it was very bland - waste of a condiment. Once the fat was drained the rest of the burger was actually very good - but all in all not a great experience.
MARKS OUT OF 10: 4.5/10 - burger (when drained) and bun were good but let down by everything else.
I guess appearances are deceptive! Looked good in the pic. :)
