Veggie Tales - His Cheeseburger

Remember Veggie Tales? Kids programming, starring vegetables with just a dash of religion. No? Me neither. But here they are with a song about a guy and his cheeseburger. It takes a bit to get going but once you get there it's kinda catchy.

THE PLACE

Boston Pizza is a restaurant, that is for sure. They serve food, they have tables and chairs. It is definitely a place to sit and eat. It possible considers itself a classy place, since it is so devoid of decoration except for black and white photo's. It has there things that are made of metal and rise up from the end of booths that I guess you can hang your coats on. If you look up the ceiling seems to be a remnant of a factory. I know I'm not a classy guy but I really don't have anything to say about the decor other than it is un-remarkable.

THE BURGER

First I would like to point out that the B.P. Prime Rib Burger comes with a "zesty sauce that simply defies description." I can easily describe it as missing because it did not come on the burger. I specifically mentioned, when saying I didn't want lettuce or tomatoes, that I still wanted the special sauce.

Question: why didn't you ask for the special sauce to be put on when you noticed it wasn't on.

Answer: I am reviewing the burger I got, not the burger I wish I got.

Not that I think it would have made a difference. The burger was so bland I could honestly say it probably had no taste, none, it was like biting into water. Not just water, bland water. I cannot imagine how a special sauce could have made this burger any better and if  the special sauce was the thing that gave flavor to this burger than this burger would not be worth saving. A cheeseburger has to taste good on its own, the sauce is to compliment it. This burger did not taste good at all. It was an exceedingly below average cheeseburger.

But it looked nice, right? Yes, it did, but looks only go so far. It's taste that counts in the end and in this end there was no taste.

So points for a nice bun. Points for a nice looking patty. Points for a good slice of cheese. Minus several points for the terrible blandness.

Rating: .5 out of 5. 

Note: To be fair I will return to Boston Pizza and get the burger with the sauce and will update.
