Mac Sabbath - Frying Pan

They call themselves the Kings of "Drive Through Metal." I don't know if this a real parody or if they are trying to make a point about something. But it's cheeseburger related so here we are. Presenting the band Mac Sabbath and their song Frying Pan. (A take off of the Black Sabbath song Iron Man.)

THE PLACE

Do you know who the band Whitesnake is? No? Well look them up, I'll wait.

Ok, you back? Good. Now imagine you made a Whitesnake video then turned that video into a burger restaurant. That is The Works. An 80's hair metal of a restaurant. Not that I'm complaining. It's nice to find a restaurant that actually knows what it is then goes whole hog, unlike other places where hey just paint things white with a stripe and calls it decor. 

THE BURGER

First of all let us talk about the name. This burger is called the "SK8R Boy." I am not a SK8R Boy, I don't know anyone I could call a SK8R Boy. I know there is a song Called SK8R Boy which I don't like. This has nothing to do with the burger, I just wanted to say how much I don't like the song SK8R Boy.

Onto the burger. The SK8R Boy is a burger topped with peanut butter, jack cheese and bacon surrounded with an artisanal bun. It's tastes great! Greater than it should taste but not as great as it could taste. With each bite you could taste every flavor, no one taste overpowered the others. The peanut butter was not "drip off the burger onto your hand" runny (how they accomplish this I'll never know) and the jack cheese was big enough that you it was strong but not so big that it didn't hug the burger. The bacon was bacon, nice and crispy. The bun was lightly toasted and darn tasty.

So what was wrong with it? While each flavor could but tasted none of the flavors were strong enough to make my mouth light up with glee. Yes, you could tell it was a superior burger but it wasn't too superior that I'd remember the name tomorrow. (Which I didn't. I've had to refer to the company web site at least twice in writing this up.)

But here is the thing, I would have this again. Any cheeseburger that has peanut butter has my attention. Any cheeseburger that makes peanut butter taste so good is one I would have again.
