Big Better Burgers

After a family dinner at Big Better Burgers, I was convinced that the restaurant should change there name to Big Bitin Burgers (after all it's important to stay true to the BBB logo).

I ordered the Bacon BBQ burger and it was decent. The patty wasn't special, I actually don't have much to say about it besides the fact that it was sizable but not filling, full or "siksik." The BBQ sauce wasn't spectacular, I've actually had better BBQ sauce with my kid's McNuggests. The bacon of the burger was made up of three tiny strips and, while that sounds like a bad thing, it really is a good thing since the bacon came in strips with an "s", not just one strip or in shredded bacon bits. It actually had strips of bacon on it! The bread was pandesal-ish-- and not in the Good Burger way which is really delicious. If the bread at Big Bitin Burgers were a musical note, it would be a flat, if it were a word that rhymed with duck, it would be suck. It was just too airy and not solid enough. The one burger that tasted good was the Three Cheese Explosion which had three cheeses (duh?) and was the most expensive burger on the menu. The flavor of the cheeses mixed well in your mouth like a well-orchestrated melody which cradled the meat flavor of the burger instead of overpowering it.

The fries and wedges came in small amounts but only a few burger joint actually offer a hefty amount of sidings: Food Camp, Army Navy, Wham. To it's credit, the service and cleanliness of the branch we ate at, the Katip branch was good-- not great; good. And that's always a good thing. Maybe I'll give the place a second shot, but right now, there are just too many other great burger joints to try that'll keep me out of a BBB branch for a while.

Brother's Burgers Katipunan Grand Opening

I never used to like Brother's Burgers because the first time I ate there, I found the burgers dry and over-priced. The place has won me over though, and it's all thanks to promos like this. A few months ago, a friend and I dropped by the Ortigas Branch for a similar promo and they had me hooked. The burgers had full, tight, meaty patties that had that beefy flavor that every meat-eater loves. I also enjoyed the fact that the condiments in the burger weren't overwhelming to the point that the patty would slip out of the bun and that the burger wasn't a mess to eat. The bun was also on par, not too fluffy, not to airy; just right. I suggest you grab a burger from this joint but don't expect it to be light on the budget--if you wanted more affordable burgers you should've gone to Food Camp or Good Burger--but it's not as pricey as Charlie's. For their 50% promo, however, you can get a 1/2 pound burger for just 90 bucks/ Sweet! Click their link below and check their menu out to see what's cookin'. Happy chomping, guys!
