Out of 10

burgerday:

  • The Bounty: pass
  • The Foundry: 8 out of 10
  • 25 Degrees: 6 out of 10

“A 6 out of 10, that’s a D are you crazy?!” was the reaction I got after judging 25 degrees.  Yeah that seems harsh at first, but hear me out, I got my reasons.

I started off pretty happy with this burger, me and this burger were going places. It liked me, I liked it, we had a future together!  But then, well, things got messy you see.  The little things that were appealing at first suddenly become annoying, not worth the hassle, I found myself wanting out.  The dressing became too much to handle, it was all over the place, I had to use a napkin every fucking bite. The hint of blue cheese (misleading by a fancier name) was a nice touch, but as I got further in, I realized most the cheese was on the other half of the burger, too strong for my liking.  But most importantly - the meat.  Im all about medium rare, and this was over cooked. Typical Burger, leading you on with its good looks, then letting you down when you find out what’s inside. Asshole. I WANT OUT OF THIS RELATION-err BURGER! (Am I taking this metaphor too far? I dunno, lets keep going).

Either way, I found myself thinking about another burger while I was spending time with this one.  The burger at The Foundry.  You were a good burger, you were an 8 out of 10.  Why did I leave you for this burger? What the fuck was I thinking? I was harsh on you that one night at dinner, but I take it back.  You were warm and soft and not bad on the eyes. But there’s always better out there, or that’s what I tell myself. Deep down inside I know where my true love stands, UMAMI motherfuckers. We will meat (ha) again next week and I know you wont let me down.
