[Jared] Burger Fuel Review

19/3/2014

Sometime in the first few months of 2014, I got the opportunity to try out a new burger joint that opened up in Christchurch.  Originally founded in Auckland in 1995, it gradually made its way through NZ's North Island in the years following.  In 2010, it made it as far as the Middle East!  Not a bad effort for a Kiwi company.  Top marks, guys!  And from the sounds of it, they'll be setting up shop in the US very soon, so keep looking out for it, America!  Oh, and Australia has some branches as well - thought I'd mention that last just to make the point that it is, in fact, a Kiwi franchise.  You're not claiming this one, you greedy kangaroo!

Anyway...

The restaurant (located at the Christchurch mall called Bush Inn Centre, on Riccarton Road)
is a pretty cool atmosphere.  It's kinda unique as well.  A lot of the features, including the lighting, were partially made from car parts...  Random!  Definitely a place for car lovers.

I will be honest, because it's been so long since I went there, I'm not 100% sure of what burger I ordered.  What I do remember is that it had a j
alapeño sauce, or something like that.  It was rather tasty.  Funny story to add to that though.  There was (or still is?) an option to have a low-carb version of it.  So I thought, "Well, I don't want to be putting too much weight on... Yeah, why not?"  At first I expected to get a burger with a special low-carb bun or something like that.  However, when my order was delivered to the table, I got what looked (to the untrained eye) like half a burger... There was no bun at all!  Basically, I got extra lettuce to hold the fillings in, and no bun.  That's your 'low-carb' version of the burger I ordered.  Weird!  It's a nice idea, but I was still hungry after my meal.  If this sounds like you, I strongly recommend just sticking with the bun.

Misunderstandings aside, I think it's a pretty good franchise and I can see why it's popular where it is.  Chances are, I will have to go back again and order a proper version of a burger, but I can still safely say that they hold up well.

Flavour: 9/10
Presentation: 9/10
Price: 6/10
Overall Rating: 8/10

P.S.  They have an interesting sense of humour when it comes to their hand dryers.
