Boston Pizza

During the time when I used to work at BP, the burger was introduced.  We all thought it was ridiculous- who goes to Boston PIZZA for a burger? Apparently, a lot of people. This was during the time where I had absolutely no craving for burgers and refused to eat them from casual dining franchises but decided to try it anyway.  The meat was definitely juicy, tender, flavourful, and had since become a huge hit among the customers.  By juicy I mean... greasy.  Here is a secret (ok it’s not a secret but it’s one of those things that you never think about and when you find out it becomes a huge shock): the burger is not grilled; it is baked on a tray with wax paper. BAKED.  
though this may be "conventional", it's sure as hell not proper for burgers

The cheese also does not melt properly unless you request it because after all, those kitchen boys are just young line cooks who follow shitty instructions on how to make a burger.  I know I know, I’m just bashing because I don’t work there anymore.  But every single American casual dining pretty much has a burger on their menu and they all taste the same so BP only gets blogged about because a) I used to work there and b) it actually tastes greasily different than the other chained restaurants. It definitely is not the typical beef- it's spiced up with other things that I don't have the ingredient list for. However, if you’re stuck at BP wondering what to order and you don’t want pizza, go for the burger because the pasta sucks.  

yam fries *thumbs up*

  3. well, i was thinking, what about the patty-bun balance; what made you decide to order it w/ cheese+onions/sauteed mushrooms, do those toppings take away the flavour of the burger? shit like that. LOL.
